Had my AOS interview yesterday and I was "recommended" for approval and told to expect my green card in 3-4 weeks! Yahoo! The interview was a breeze, even faster and easier than the one in Montreal. My review is here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=11348

Thanks to everyone on VJ for their help. I couldn't have done it without you <3

My Toronto medical exam review. Note: the office has moved and some procedures have changed since my exam.

My detailed review of K1 Montreal interview for August 11th 2011.

My SSN application tips.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

what a relief, eh........... now you have a break until ROC! Enjoy!!

My daughter filed her AOS, EAD & AP, mid Nov, had her biometrics mid-Dec and now haven't heard a peep.....not even about the EAD/AP....... when others in our timeline are getting notifications and their card :unsure:

Did you ever get your EAD (I see you filed for it) or did they go straight to interview? Her AOS show "testing & interview" stage, so maybe she'll just go straight to that sooner. Her case was tranferred to NBC and she has a MSC#

Any thoughts? Congrats again!! :thumbs:

Hi, I got my EAD on January 11th. No idea about your daughter's case, sorry :/ What does the USCIS site say testing & interview is? (I can't access the description for it anymore) I think it means that an interview is going to be scheduled soon? Good luck, I hope your daughter gets an update soon. I seem to be lucky with getting appointments & approvals fairly quickly.

Yes, it says it's waiting to be scheduled. Just gotta be patient waiting, I guess :blush:

I hadn't seen on your timeline that you'd recieved your EAD, so that had me wondering. See now that you did.

*sigh* who knows how USCIS picks and chooses how quickly they'll process. You were very fortunate at how quickly things went. Makes it so much easier to get on with your life :yes:

Enjoy your USCIS break for a while!

Thanks for the congratulations everyone! My green card arrived in the mail today. Way faster than I thought it'd be!

Something neat is that the USCIS case status tracker will post a USPS tracking number once they mail out your card, so I knew it'd arrive today.
