Thank you everyone!

I cannot believe it is over. Just need to have it in hand and then the world will feel right again. Crazy how this process totally takes over our lives.

The appointment was at 9:15 and I woke up around 6:00 and went over everything again. I had an entire binder zipped full of information/evidence/copies of everything.

We arrived at 8:55 and were seated in the waiting area by 9. I was so tense for no reason, it was actually nice having the baby there as he seemed to lighten the mood for everyone in the waiting room!

We were called in at 9:30 by one officer, and walked back and there were two officers in there, one observed. They were both very nice. My husband held the baby and I dealt with our evidence. They swore us in and then asked to see my passport, my sons original birth certificate. They went over the basic information such as where we were born and our names etc. They then asked if I had any additional information, but that it wasn't really needed as the package was complete. She took a recent paystub of my husbands and saw we were over the necessary income for a family of three and photocopied it.

She asked how long we had known eachother, how long we had been dating before we got married (6 years), and whether I intended to stay when I came into the USA last (I did not). She then told us we were approved! I said "They make this sound way scarier on the internet!" they both smiled and said we had good proof, and obviously our 3 month old was there too lol.

I am still waiting for a text or email update about I-130 and I-485 forms but maybe they do not do that! Anyways I am very happy and relieved that it is over, at least for now :)

congratulations!

I just checked the USCIS website and my EAD has jumped to "My card was ordered to be produced" and AP has been approved! Woohoo I'm so happy!!

If they catch you working for cash without your EAD or Green card your AOS will be denied and you can even get deported! We are still not 100% admitted in this country until our green card is aprove

yes

So the problem is you need to have a sponsor to even have EAD!!

Until AOS is approved your sponsor has to be making money.... It's a requirement. I personally would say nothing for now. You could get a RFE and everything would stop. Ask for more opinion in the forum. I'm sure it happened to more people. Your EAD may be approved in a couple weeks I would say....

Unless you can get a co/joint sponsor and that way you could expedite and bring money home. If you have savings and can make a month or a few weeks I try to wait, I don't know how the situation is but even if you get EAD he still will need to have a job for the whole AOS process to happen

I am not sure if expediting the EAD helped because it took 58 days of my application to be approved. According to the TIER 2 agent expediting a request will just delay the process...although some are requesting help from there representatives.

If your case is already in 50 days past I suggest to call TIER 2 and ask for an advise.
