We were happy and mad at the same time!damn med offices,u pay them a hefty fee and they still faill doing their job properly!!!!

The whole int process took around 15 min.

After the interv we rushed to the medical office to ask for a properly filled out new form.,which wr got it in 10 min.than sent it to the immigr office w overnite delivery.

Is there anyone who hasn't had their interview yet?

We got a case status update today saying the green card was mailed!

We also got a welcome letter. "It is with great pleasure that we welcome you as a permanent resident of the United States." How awesome.

HI. We had our interview today and we were approved. dancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gifdancin5hr.gif Yay. However, there was a little hiccup, so be forewarned.

We arrived exactly at 9:30 for our interview appointment (set for 9:30). There was a snowstorm this morning and even though we'd given ourselves 2 hours for a 45 mile drive, we almost were super late.

Anyway, we waited for almost an hour to go back for the interview. The IO said that everything looked good except for the fact that my wife had never registered for classes. The IO said that this meant that my wife was out of status and that the IO had checked with other IOs in the office and all agreed. I went ahead and explained that since we applied while she was still in status, that my wife was therefore on a new immigration status (pending AOS) and that she did not need to go to school if she didn't want to. The IO continued with the basic interview (reviewing 485 responses) and then said that they needed to go out and verify. Luckily for us, another IO confirmed what I had told the original IO.

The IO came back, told us that we were approved and that once the system was back up that it would be submitted. I received the text about an hour later.

Moral of the story, go in prepared and don't be intimidated. Our interview would have been less than 5 min (and less waiting in the lobby) if they had known this, but in the end, it all worked out so we are happy!

Good luck to the rest of you.

Hi guys so sad. Got bad news I was found Inadmissible due to crime of moral turpitude. I had my interview last month and feared this will happen. Was told to file i601 waiver.
