My wife and I went for the interview today. It almost seemed like we were the only couple without a lawyer. Anyway the lady seemed friendly, we laughed about a bunch of topics that came up. She asked a couple of questions about the relationship, when/where we met, how its been going, where we're living and oddly, she asked if we had receipts of dates and purchases in relation to the relationship (eg wedding rings receipt). That may be because we lost our rings at San Antonio sea world and them park this weekend.

Lastly she said she will contact us if she requires more info or reaches a decision. We wait anxiously.

Good luck to everyone out there.

Finally got notification that my EAD card is in production finally!! Interesting thing though...I also applied for Advance Parole but there was no update on that even though I have no plans to travel home until my GC is in hand. Does that mean it wasn't approved?

For us, the AP approval showed up in the system a few hours after the EAD approval, so give it a little time.
