So I had my interview at 10:45am today. We got there 1 hour early so we just went around the market nearby. There was a line at the USCIS door and the security was only letting people that were there 30 minutes before their interview. We got into security and they were pretty nice, after getting through security we checked in and got our number and was told to go to the 2nd floor and wait till our name or number to be called.

We waited in the waiting room for like 10 minutes(seemed longer because our 1 month old son was getting cold) and was called in. We followed the officer to his Office and then got sworn in. He then proceeded to ask my husband his name, date of birth, address, where he worked, how we met. We then just had a conversation about games (my husband and I met through online gaming). The officer then asked for my name, date of birth, address, parents name and asked me the Yes/No question from the i-765.

Overall the whole interview felt more like a casual conversation between friends. The whole time it was just about my husband and the officer talking about games.

The officer then told us his going to approve our case right there and I couldn't stop smiling. So glad its over and just need to remove my condition in 2 years.

Hope all those that are having their interview soon goes as smoothly as ours did!

Congrats!

Yeah I am, and It looks like we have about the same AoS timeline and my gut feeling says that we probably won't get an interview until next year, but then again I am generally a pretty pessimistic person.

Hey everyone. I wanted to let you all know how our interview went, and also congratulate everybody on their interview notifications and approvals on EADs/AOS

Our inteview was at 9:45 AM this morning and it lasted about 5 minutes.

We walked in went thru security and sat down with our number. Our number got called up right away.. After that we sat down with our officer at his desk.. He was a very sweet middle aged man.

He swore us in and then went over our I 485 questions... The yes/no questions that were answered previously.

After that he asked me for my SSN... He asked if we had any documents to show to him. We showed him our health, car, life insurances, bank statements, credit cards, and apartment lease..

After that he looked through the pictures very briefly (maybe a minute). He gave everything back to us and said he's recommending us for approval.

By 10:05 AM we were out in the parking lot already.

We looked on our case status now and it says card production ordered.

SO Happy this is all done with :) :)

Good luck everyone

Congrats!!! :D

Thank you so much Yelli! I really hope you get your interview notice. At least the EAD lets us work but your license is only valid for a year.

Everyone being stressed over the interviews shouldn't be.. They're honestly more of an informal conversation. If you bring all your documents and pictures you're fine.
