Everything went well! We arrived for our 9:00 am appt early. Sat in the car until 8:30  and headed in. After going through security, we went to the check in line. The guy gave us a number and told us to wait to be called to the door. By the time we got out of that line, it was about 8:50 and we sat down to wait. By 9:00, we were called by an officer to come to the door and he led us back to his office. He took my husband's picture and fingerprints and then asked some very basic questions (address, my name.) I prepared a file with 100 photos and more docs to prove our marriage, he said he didn't need any of it. He did ask for my husband's birth certificate again though, so we gave him that and he took a copy. He realized our medical expired and said we would need to get that but we were pretty much approved pending that. I called the nearest doctor to us when we got in the car and had an appointment for 1 pm today. We just finished that this afternoon and they said the medical report should be ready by Friday. The officer also wrote on the RFIE for the medical that we were allowed to hand deliver the medical to him -- instead of mailing it in, as he was aware how long we have been waiting for this to happen and didn't want it to be delayed any longer. All in all, a very easy experience. Interview was less than an hour. 

 

Goodluck everyone!!!!

Hi! How did it all turn out for you?

[DKC 13]

Hi guys! Our interview was this morning and we were approved! It was a very smooth process. Sharing our experience, because I know how much it helped me to read the stories of others. Our appointment was at 7:30 AM in Orlando and we arrived at about 6:45AM. We went inside at 7AM when they opened, went through security and then checked in. We were called in around 7:40AM. The officer was very friendly and approachable. She swore us in, took my finger prints and picture and then started with some questions.

 

She asked both my husband and I to confirm our full names, address, date of birth and place of birth, and also requested an updated medical exam. 

 

She asked when we started dating, how long we have been married, where we got married, if we have any children and if we were renting or owned our home, where we were employed and how many cars we have. 

 

She then asked the standard questions regarding any involvement in illegal activity, etc. 

 

She skimmed through our documents evidencing our bonafide marriage (we had a lot) and after that she said that she didn’t have any questions and then handed me a letter stating my case looked complete and approvable and said that she will be completing her final checks later, but I should expect to receive my green card in the mail in a couple of weeks. She also told us that she would approve a 10 year green card, because we have been married 3 years, so yay for that!

 

Around 3:30PM today I got the notification that my card is in production. 

 

I can’t wait for my card to arrive, but I’m so grateful for a smooth experience and wish everyone the best of luck. 

 

Make sure your medical exams exams are not older than one year, all your docs are complete and that you have lots of evidence of your bonafide relationship and you will be fine! 

 

I will keep you guys posted on when my card arrives

Hello, I have just found this thread and feel so relieved to find people in the same boat who have been on this journey already.

 

I got married and filed our I 485. I have received already my EAD combo card. 

 

As of July 17th my status says 'READY TO SCHEDULE'.

 

By looking through this thread it seems Orlando is not a quick office?

 

I also wanted to ask did anyone get a DL/Florida ID while they were waiting? How did you go about this?

 

Thank you!

Yes. Orlando takes a while  Just don't think about it Haha.  I've been really ignoring it when I started my job. It comes when it comes... A year has passed for me

 

As for the driver's license, I exchanged my Canadian License no problem. Just bring your passport, Drivers license, 2 proof of address (bills , bank statements) and maybe your combo card just to establish residency

Hi all. Not sure if this thread is still active or not but I am an Orlando filer for April 2018. Currently still waiting for a GC interview (9 months later!). Can anyone give anyone helpful tips or insight on what the Orlando interview is like?
