Thanks and congrats to everyone receiving interview notices.

My wife received her Green Card shortly after noon today. The date on the card shows 06/13/2014, which means they actually approved us the day after our interview. Such a long road for us. We are overjoyed!

Congratulations! When did it change to testing and interview? I mean how long after biometrics or NOA1?

Mine changed to testing and interview about 2 weeks after biometrics

Hmmmm does it always change to "testing and interview" prior to getting an interview date? Anyone here who's status did not change?

We are going to have our interview on thursday. Do we need to bring I864 and all the papers?!

Wanted to give an update on our interview (June 19th). We had a 10:45 appointment and arrived at 10:25. We checked in and went up to the 3rd floor where our interview was scheduled. We had to wait about an hour before our number was called. Our IO was a pregnant woman that my wife thought looked a little mean. On the way to her office we began talking about when she was due and my sister's twins that were recently born. That led to discussions about my family and how my wife went to help take care of the twins and 2 year old brother a few weeks ago. After about 15 min she said "ok, lets get started. This will be quick"

She then asked us our names, birth places, birthday, etc.

She never asked to see any additional documentation or pictures (we sent about 40 pages worth with the application) and told us we would get her green card in the mail. She then told us the process in two years for her next green card and said to send as many pictures as we did this time because we may or may not have an interview then.

All said the interview took 20 minutes and 15 of it was spent talking about her family and my family.

We just received text and email notifications today that her green card was mailed.

Congrats to all those who have been approved or interviews scheduled. It makes us a little jealous that Atlanta is moving so quickly after our timeline.

Congratulations to you both! I meant to ask you, did your status change online after the interview? Because ours remains the same even though we were approved.

Nothing changed online until this morning when I received the notification that her green card had been mailed. Her I-130 has still not changed either.

Congratulations to everyone! Atlanta is moving so fast now, makes us a little jealous too. But am very happy for everyone

Dang! Atlanta is moving faster. We are making a little 3 day vacation out of it because we have to drive 4 hours to Atlanta from Northern Alabama anyways and we got the time off. I'm also excited for some Quick Trip and their amazing coffee frappes We don't have that gas station anywhere in this state!

Got approved in 5min. After that my hubby and the IO talked about military and gov job. It was more like a meet and greet than interview. We had the app at 1.15pm but got called in around 2.10 or so. We left around 2.30. Got my card in production 10min later.
