Hi Tim,

What are the things that you brought during your interview?

Joint account, old Pics, lease contract, Marriage certificate, our facebook msgs (141 pages!), our E-Mail s, wedding pics, bank statement. The officer kept all, so prepare copy of your documents. she didn't ask lot of questions just checked ALL the documents we have provided.the whole interview took around 15 mins!!

No I did not get ANY updates or notices for the card production or the EAD accepted.

The only notices I got on text and email was for when they took our AOS packet. I did have an e-notification form there but they did not use it for the EAD apparently. But, it's fine, got the card, don't care :-) Now the wait for the interview continues!

I talked with a Tier 2 agent this morning (it's my 75th day) they sent in an inquiry regarding my I-765 and told me that I won't hear anything until August 20 regarding my I-765 and nothing until 104 more days (6months) for the I-485.

I don't understand why it takes so long, I, the petitioner and the co-sponsor all have clean records and the co-sponsor makes more than twice the requirement without anyone else on her household. This is a bit annoying, like really ... Not the best way to start a monday morning ^^
