I have been waiting with no word since the Biometrics! Anyone else still sitting in silence? Seeing so many happy approvals is getting me anxious. I'm checking my status constantly!

When did you get your biometrics? The only update my husband has had since the biometrics is "interview to be scheduled.". I'm also checking constantly but no word yet. Nice to see another filer from Italy!

ichnusa ... we have pretty much the same timeline! we haven't heard anything since "interview to be scheduled" updated on Nov 4.

its interesting to me that most european filers i see have had pretty long waits compared to others (my husband is from ireland). i wonder if where you come from has a role in processing times???

anyway, hope we hear something soonnn!!! we are supposed to travel on Dec 23 back to ireland so keeping my fingers crossed that AP is approved and received before then!!

So I had my I-485 interview yesterday 12/03/15.

The interview was schedule for 12:30. We arrive 11:00 am including 35 minutes drive and breakfast . The west palm building was empty, only 2 couples with lawyers and my hubby didn't want to sit near them he wanted to be in the back of the room. But then I realized a huge sign that said INTERVIEWS with sits like airport type so I told my hubby we needed to change seats. At 12 pm it got really full and loud with couples and lawyers, I got nervous as only 3 couples including us didn't have a lawyer and one of this couple had 2 kids with them. The numbers was called but not in order. Until 1:45 they called our number . Our IO was middle age, very soft spoken he was the only one who wanted the door open, I notice all the other doors with couples and lawyers had their door closed. He made us swear before taking a seat. He open our file and asked my husband if he was born abroad I showed him the birth certificate and copy but said he didn't need it. He ask for our passports and I also showed him my EAD card. He ask my husband his name and if was working in the same place and then he asked him how he met me. But my hubby gave a very short answer so I jumped in and give a more detail answer. I told him I felt intimidated by not having a lawyer but he told me that only we know our story no lawyer can explain how the relationship evolved and some get up to 5 RFE with lawyer and we manage to get none without a lawyer so I was optimistic. He asked me my parents name, if our joint sponsor was my hubby dad and if I lost a passport and I told him yes I did in 2010 and explain him how it happened. He asked me the yes, No questions of the I-485 and the said he was going to approve the I-130 I offer him the documents I prepare for the interview but he didn't wanted them, he said I send enough documents, he didn't want to see the photo Album. Then he asked me if I knew the next step because my marriage was less than 2 years and I answer I knew I had to fill the I-751 and he said yes, and told me if after 3 years of permanent residence in the US I'm still married to my hubby I can apply for naturalization instead of waiting for 5 years. And he said that tomorrow when he have more time he will review our case but he was most likely going to approve us. My hubby thank him and he escorted us out, we was talking about visiting Disney as our anniversary is the 9th of December but to Epcot and he said he doomed to go to the magic kingdom because he have small children's. I'm very grateful to this site and specially to God for a nice IO. Today my status show card is being produced.

Good luck to every one✌️

we had our biometrics in NYC on October 22nd. I thought for sure this week or last-- he actually was hoping to be able to travel to Italy for Christmas.

I think it does have a role with the processing times.. but not 100% sure.. but yeah, we're also wanting to travel at the end of the month or at least at the beginning of January. I need a break from work and my husband is tired of being bored at home...

Best wishes!

Hehehe thanks! Hoping for a smooth interview on the 21st. so much going on with the holidays coming up and still trying to buy a house... worried about where we should have the uscis documents delivered as we are moving on january. Stupid rent went up 4 times already. Lol rant mode.

[Billett 14]

Jesus where do you live? 4 times ? I would have a meltdown by now. I hope you guys get a new place soon. Maybe if your husband family lives near by you can give their address to get the mail there.

Best of luck thespoons!

We're here in Manteca just south of Stockton. Yeah $50 raise every time so it went up $200 in 1.5 years. We really need to move. We're planning on just having any documents sent to my father in law's place (he's about 2 hrs away from us) but i am a bit skeptical about changing the mailing address online so we'll have it changed during the interview. Will that work? Hahaha thanks! I am really hoping for the best... oooh so stressed... and this move is also pushing back my job hunting... grrr...

[Billett 14]

Yes thespoons, actually I was going to advice you to wait until the interview to update, specially if by that time you are already settle in your new home because at least you will get it in your own mail. I hope you find a place soon.

Good luck and I'm sure everything will work out in the end, just keep your cool?
