Well to be honest, I don't see why you are upset at Mari. She was trying to be reassuring and helpful. We all have situations that make this AOS very important. Plus, there is no way to speed up the

i just received my ssn card, ill be applying for driver's license tomorrow. will the expiration of my license be the same with my ead?

When I got my DL years ago with my F1 visa and presented I-94 which showed D/S ( no specific expiration date) I got the standard 7 yr DL . Now that I renewed it using my EAD the duration it is only 1 year just like EAD and on top of it has a legend with capital red letters saying "limited term driver license" , same thing with State ID. I will have to renew them next year using the CG which will be silly because again, the DL and State ID will be valid only for another year until is time to apply for ROC. As long as I have valid DL I don't mind going thru all this.

We're right there with you! Well, we have apartment applications to show. But no lease yet, cause... no lease yet. I just hope I don't have a panic attack in front of the IO, and all will be well. I am prone to those. Damn social anxiety...

That is excellent news, congrats! I've been thinking that the lack of movement is a summer thing. I hope it's true.

So, we had our interview this morning. Not much to report, we had a very nice IO who approved us on the spot (and seemed to have his mind made about that already). We went over the forms, he then told us about the separate interview procedure - I was all ready and willing and eager - and then he told us that he won't do that, that's just for cases where there is suspicion :lol: And parts of it were quite informal, like when we talked about a hobby of mine and we told him a funny story.

At the end he said he would approve us and asked if we had any other questions. I said "I can't think of any" and my husband went "know any good breakfast place nearby?" :lol: Um, lol? I was a bit embarrassed, but then the IO proceeded to tell us about good breakfast places...

Status on USCIS site isn't updated yet, but I suppose that takes a while. He also said he'd make sure my address is updated in the system, so that stuff gets sent to the right place. Yay, done for now! I'll just be watching the mailbox like a hawk in the next few weeks XD

Congratulations!! you just described me on how I stalk my mailbox every day. It has been a week already and I am definitely annoyed that I have not received the letters from now. I know the GC will take up 2 weeks when other people gets it in a week. The formality says wait 30 days but that rarely happens. I am just annoyed right now after checking my mail and nothing from USCIS :sleepy:
