Our Greencards arrived by USPS Priority mail today.

Kash 2011, hope you'll get yours soon.

Think it's standard for them to say u should receive within 2 months. We had that too. And our interview was on Oct 8th with welcome letter received a few days after. Also standard for them to have the right to request any additional info prior to u receiving the card

Congrats! I have my Citizenship interview scheduled early next month!

Finally after 8 months of waiting, received the text message this morning that I-485 interview is scheduled! (it's about time).

El Burro, my wife also from Ukraine. We followed the route of AOS from her Student Visa.

We finally got our interview and her Green Card after 9 months from filing.

Best to you, Leo

Well, my wife's AOS interview was scheduled for Monday, but I got a phone call today & they said it's been canceled. I was told on the phone that the case needs to be reviewed by a supervisor first and will be rescheduled (no time frame). A little disappointed as we hoped we'd be finished with USCIS for a while.

Congrats on your interview! It is nice to see that Denver office is not looking at February filers. Can you update your timeline, please, so other people have more hope seeing moving of the Denver office. Thank you in advance!

Had my interview today and got approved .. wohooooo .. also I told the officer I was travelling internationally in the coming week so he stamped my passport with a temp I 551 .. was very nice of the officer.

Question: The officer mentioned something about conditional GC since I am married only for a year. Is there a separate process for a permanent GC or something ? do I have to do anything else ?

All of us who got GC through marriage is a conditional one....unless you are married for more than 2 years.....once you are close to 2 years of your conditional GC expiration preferably 90 days you can apply to remove for that condition and get a permanent GC. In your case if your conditional GC is good for a year...apply to remove that condition 90 days prior it is something that you must do in order to maintain your status.

We had our interview yesterday morning. The officer was very pleasant and kept reassuring my wife that she was doing fine. I walked in with my wife and wife's interpreter and the officer right away said that the interview was only going to be about my wife as I had already been approved early on in the process. My wife and interpreter were given the oath and sat down. I was not given an oath and just sat in the back and watched. I was expecting relationship questions like how we met & that sort of stuff, but wife was just asked what my name was and when was my birthday and then switched right away to questions about jobs my wife had back home. The whole thing lasted about 30 minutes.

When the officer was finished my wife was told everything seems fine but because my wife's fingerprints were rejected twice for the FBI clearance we were given a RFE to get a police clearance from our local police department, which we've already done and mailed back in. Soooo.....I'm hopefully optimistic that my wife will be approved in a few days!
