I am an immigrant previously married but it didnt work out due to infidelity on her part so i divorced her then married my girl friend of almost 2 yrs and we got married on the beach in oahu island. My application for AOS along with i765 and i130 was received at the chicago lock box on the 21st of Feb , Biometrics done on the 25th of March and interview on the 29th of April . I didnt know i was selected for a stoke interview as it didnt say on the interview paper but to cut long story short, me and my wife were interviewed seperately by 2 io officers for an hour each and it was recorded by typing computer by the IO . I was asked several questions like where did i meet my wife, the address she used to live when we met and was even questioned about my visa and asked if i went for the judo competetion i came for. My wife was also asked several questions like what Grocery store we shop at , the name of the street where the grocery store is ,the road / route she normally took to work . We live on the lake so the officer asked my wife is we lived behind the lake she said no we live on the lake . I know some of the questions we were asked might not match because you never know what to expect and It was such a nerve wrecking experience but i didnt care since our marriage is bonafide . About 10 minutes into my wifes interview after i was escorted outside, the IO asked for my wifes parents phone number and he called both parents to confirm our marriage is legit and the io even asked my wifes mum dont she think the trip to hawaii is expensive? She confirmed she gave us some money and that my parents also sent me some money. . I had 2 jobs and i made 44k last year and i submitted a joint filed tax return as well as 1099's we both receive from our school . My wife wasnt working last year but she started working about 3 months before our interview date . The Io does not seem to be interested in any of the documents we took with us such as insurance,lease agreement, dental and health .After the interview,the Io gave my wife a slip of paper which stated interview is under review and will be notified in the mail if additional document is needed or if a deceision was made. I checked my case status online days after the interview but i485 still in testing and interview , i130 initial review and i765 card production as at may 2nd . Can anyone tell me what to expect ? i couldnt sleep or eat !

I received my Green Card today! Yay dancin5hr.gif

I expected to be valid from the date of I-485 approval, but it says: Resident since 02/12/13 (which was my NOA date) and expires on 02/12/15 ... that's even better and means I should be fine to apply for ROC by the end of next year!

I never received my EAD card. But I also got my green card last saturday. It was an amazing feeling when I went to the SS office. I like the fact that they destroyed my previous SSN card.

This might be a silly question but how is your SSN card/number different now that you have your GC?

This might be a silly question but how is your SSN card/number different now that you have your GC?

The SS number stays the same, but I also need to change my card, because it states "valid for work only with INS authorization", and also because I took my husband's last name.
