From middle of nowhere, I just last week received letter that I have been approved for GC! And 3 days later I received my card. So for next 1,5 years we are done with Uncle Sam! :) But it was little weird cause I thought I signed up for e-mail things and I didnt receive anything... But its all good now! :)

Well, yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of us submitting I-485... No updates except for the "Possible Interview Waiver" letter from a few months ago. Online case check still stuck on "Initial Review" with the comment: On July 11, 2013, your address was changed relating to the I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS that you file

Hoping we do not have to prepare to deal with renewing the EAD...

Had my interview yesterday after almost a year of application submission....ClockWatch2.gif

My summary: got the potential waiver letter back in Aug,went on to call the service center and was told to call back in a month if I hadn't heard anything. Moved to another state in Sept & called in October, got a real nasty lady that barely let me talk,but recited to me that I got the potential waiver therefore to wait up to 6 months from the letter date before calling! then she went on to drop the phone on me!! after i'd stayed on queue for like forever!!!mad.gif . Anywho, I traveled and came back at Christmas, immediately after new year I called again, and got a real helpful man, even said that I should've raised a service request before then, & also informed that my case should've been transferred to my local office after I moved & said my local office was processing June currently... He raised a service request & 2 days later I get an email saying that an interview date was being assigned, & 2 weeks later I get a letter for an interview yesterday

And yes I was approved!!! kicking.gif . Hardly felt like an interview, nice young CO,asked hubby a few questions about work & the relocation, asked how we met, if I worked, any kids, took hubby's work letter & our last tax return,just asked me to confirm the details on my application - full name, address, DOB etc, & we were done! He even went further to stamp my passport with another Advanced Parole & Employment Authorization valid for a year, to use if I needed to travel again/for longer before I received GC in mail :)

Good luck to those yet to get theirs, keep the faith! and by all means keep calling and raising/following up on service requests... you'll get there soon!! yes.gif
