Stay strong Tormentis!

Happy day <3 June 11 Got married, exactly 3 years after we first met (in Rome, Italy)
Day 1: July 24 sent packages
Day 8: July 31 received Noa1
Day 25: August 18 received appointment for biometrics scheduled for August 27th
Day 32: August 26 walk in biometrics succesful
Day 75: October 11 card/document production
Day 78: October 14 received text that my I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS is now ready for interview scheduling.
Day 84: October 20 received text that they mailed my EAD
Day 85: October 21 received EAD
Day 109: November 14 received text with interview date

:dancing: December 16th - interview went well! Approved on the spot

Posted

And then after 2 hours:

And again it changed to decision

What the hell is going on?

Hi Tormentis! Don't worry about it. That is pretty normal. I have read around VJ that status online changes quite a bit after getting approved. Mine changed to card production first last Wednesday, September 24th, then on Thursday, September 25th, it changed to "Decision". I think the "Decision" update is when they send us the actual "Welcome to America" letter. Then the last change would be them sending you a tracking number for your green card :)

I am just waiting for the welcome letter in the mail and for the tracking number for my green card. It hasn't been a week yet since I got approved so I am hoping it will be on hand by Wednesday!

Exciting times! :)

APPROVED on the spot!!

The officer was polite enough to make us feel comfortable. Apart from the usual stuff (no-questions, names, DOB, etc), he asked us how we met, a bit about our mutual visits, and if we have met each other's families. He asked if we had anything else to show him: he went through our pics really fast. That was it. We were done in 10 minutes.

My status changed an hour later to "Card production" and a while later to "Decision"; i-130, in "post-decision".

It can take even 4-5 months, relax.

I know it's disappointing and frustrating, but you have to wait :(

Some people get the interview date very fast, sometimes it takes longer :(

Card/ Document Production

On October 1, 2014, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file. You should receive your new card within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

I thought we're supposed to get a tracking number from USPS when they send out the green card to us?? They didn't send me a tracking number :(
