I think that's enough, just be confident. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Good luck.

Yes if you loom through other receipt numbers on the website. It tells you when the usps has picked the letter up from the office. Then it will give you a tracking number. Congrats on your EAD it's day 80 and still waiting

Good luck for Monday!! Don't forget original copies of the important documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates etc. Also maybe a couple of recent pay stubs from your husbands works to show he's still earning the same salary as when you filed.

Hi Friends,

Today I had my interview at Buffalo office and it was GREAT. I got approved on the spot, I requested a stamp and I got it in 20 minutes. I went even further by going to Niagra Falls ( Canadian side) to celebrate haha. Here is what happened from start to end.

Our interview was at 1:45pm. we arrived to the security door at 1:45pm ( baaaad). I thought that thats it, they will probably deny me because Im late haha. I went to the second floor, showed the lady our interview notice and thank goodness she didnt say anything about being kinda late ( 2 or 3 minutes late).[ Dont ask me why Im late !! I decided this morning to go and print more pictures ( paranoid), it took forever and we almost arrived late.My husband had to drive 80m/h to arrive on time]]]] BAD BAD IDEA. I was so stressed out and I had pain in my stomache. Please make sure you guys go beforehand and give yourselves time to breathe. Anyway moving on....

5 minutes later, a lady called my last name and then she said " both of you", meaning me and my husband will have one interview together. We went in and she made us swear. Then she had our I-485 application in front of her and she literally went through all of it to make sure everything written is correct. That took about 4 minutes. After that she asked how we met and where we had our wedding. My husband had the honor of replying because I was dead scared. Then she said " you sent in a lot of evidence with the application, did you bring anything additional". We had some additional stuff that she briefly looked at. Then she looked at the pictures and said " I have seen some of these with the application" " it looks like it was a good day". She said we seem approvable and if she had anything to add she would send us a letter, if not then our case will be approved this afternoon. At that time, I kind of relieved but not too much because her decision was not clear. I was preparing myself to leave and my husband popped in the question " we want to go to Canada and we heard that we can get a stamp" . The lady said " Yes, that would not be a problem but you will have to wait for 15, 20 minutes". We left our passports with her and went to the waiting room. At that time, I knew I was approved. 10 minutes later, the officer came out with our passports and she showed me the stamp and she said " Have fun in Canada and show this at the border so you can be allowed to the US". By 2:30 PM, I was outside the USCIS building with my green card in hand. 2 minutes later I recieved emails that card is ordered. Me and my husband were so happy so we went to canada straight away haha. We went to Niagara Falls and the officers at the border said " oh you got it today" and I was let in and out of canada with no problems at all.

No personal questions were asked and absolutely no judgment. The officer who was a female in her mid 30 was really nice and professional. She didnt take my EAD even though I offered. She didnt check any originals and asking for a stamp was no problem at all.

That was one hectic day full of surprises. I would like to thank you all and wish you good luck with your journey.
