Thank you! The interview is tomorrow! I'm so nervous, you have no idea.

I don';t know why to be honest, our marriage is real, we are very much in love, have tons of evidence,... but you hear some horror USCIS stories and it scares me:(

I feel you!! Good luck on your interview tomorrow. Just remember to be confident and be yourself! You have nothing to hide since everything is real so you will be fine!! I hope you get a decision right away too! I wouldn't want for anyone to go on this agonizing waiting period we are in. 4 days since our interview and we have not heard anything...it sucks!

I just called USCIS to have my case expedited because both my Driver License and EAD expire Oct 2nd :(

Tried renewing my DL just now at the DMV and had no luck. They said they need proof that I am authorized to be in the US after Oct 2nd.

The person who helped me put in the expedite request was really nice. He gave me a confirmation number and said I should hear back in 5 days. Crossing my fingers that I get some good news because I need me DL and EAD renewed badly.

Hope it works out for you Nat2411. In either case DL should not be an issue. As far as DL is concerned I think you can renew it as long as you have the receipt notice. All you have to do is go to the DMV and ask them to do a paper based check using your passport and receipt notice. That process takes few weeks, and will result in you getting a letter from DHS. You can take that letter and go to DMV and they will renew. Hope your expedite request works out, but you can still have this method in your back pocket if it comes to that

APPROVED ON THE SPOT!

GOT THE LETTER AND EVERYTHING ELSE!

The interview took around 90 minutes (!), but it was very nice, casual talk, mostly about food, cooking, where we would like to spend vacations etc. A lot of jokes and we didn;t even really feel that was "official"!

Our IO was extremely nice and at the end she said "welcome to America!" and gave us some info how to apply for the second GC in 2 years to avoid the interview and just be approved only by sending the documents.

Well the first GC is for two years, and it's conditional. After 2 years (actually 1 year and 9 months) you have to apply for another one
