It's in the October thread here^

Maybe I was just lucky but my interview was really painless and easy and we weren't asked for4 any additional documents, only photos. We actually forgot those at home but the officer was understanding and just went through the photos which were already in our file. Let me know if you have any questions!

Wow, congrats!  That is pretty quick no?  Boston seems to be at 7 months out according to the processing times...

Well actually my local office is Lawrence MA. This office seems to be missing from almost all the list so I chose the next nearest location and that was Boston. Maybe that is the reason that its moving fast.

Just put in a service request to expedite my EAD & Contacted my Rep. It has been over 75 days now, and if I don't get my EAD within the next 3 weeks I'd lose a 5 digit number :(. 

Hope it works. Grr

An update for me:

First I apologize for not giving a review about my experience interviewing at the Cleveland office.  It has been a very busy week for me work wise.  Anyways, here is my experience:

My interview was at the Cleveland office Friday the 2nd at 10:30 in the morning.  We arrived there about 15 minutes earlier.  We checked in (finger print scan and a picture) and were told to wait for an officer to call us.

45 minutes later, an officer called my last name and asked us to follow him.  He introduced himself by last name "Arasim" and apologized for the delay as he was stuck with someone else before us.  He made it funny though.  He asked us to rise our hands and we swear to say the truth after he informed us that we will be video taped.  After that, he said that he will start with me first. He went through I-480 questions making sure that everything is correct, but I felt he was testing my answers on some the questions like where I work (worked) and entry dates.  With humor, he asked the mandatory questions that are in the end of the i-480 like crime questions, illegals, weapons,..etc.  Of course all are NO!!!! And then asked my wife's date of birth, place of birth, phone number and where we live now.  He made a funny comment when he learned that my wife is from MI state, he said that it is going to be a tough interview when her turns arrives.  He asked me for my passport, my EAD from OPT, I-90 and my license. He also asked my wife for her ID. Then he turned to her and asked her a few I-480 questions, but nothing about me.  He later turn to me and asked questions about my plans prior meeting my wife.  He asked for my I-20s and lease documents.  He did not want the copy of the lease, so he took the original.  He asked my EAD approval letter, but I gave the copy.  He took bank statement, credit card statement of both names, health insurance, phone bill both names, electricity bill, he did not want rent insurance.  He asked about car registration, but our cars are not shared between us.  He did not care.  He kept asking me over and over and over about whether I entered illegally and did I ever worked illegally.  Did a CPB officer stamp my passport at the port of entry and did I ever tried to fake anything.  He did not ask for her birth certificate , he did not want to see her taxes, or anything from her, he focused on me the entire interview.  It took about 30 minutes to 35.  Then asked about proposal and where we got married.  Who attended the wedding and did both families agreed to the wedding.  Intermediately after that question, he asked her for her mom and dad's phone number.  He asked if we have anything else to add? My wife gave him our album and he smiled and said "SURE LET'S SEE SOME PHOTOS" He took his time and looked through all individually.  We noticed he looked a photos with families longer.  Then he said I cannot approve the case now as I have a lot of documents to review and I have to verify everything.  He explained the conditional green card process and that we have to renew within 90 days prior to the expiration.  He said that I can apply for citizenship after the 3rd year.  He asked if we have any questions, we asked him when should we expect to hear from him, he said about a month from now.  He apologized again, shook my hand, and walked us to door.  Two hours later, he called her mom who was with us and asked her about me and my work type and if they like me.  He asked if she met my family and if she is with us in Cleveland.  She answered all correctly and then thanked her and hangup.  (phone number was 216-000-0000).  Today I received texts and emails that CASE WAS APPROVED YESTERDAY!!!

 

For those who rely on case status, my case status (except for the i-485 now) still saying case was received.  Even after the bio-metrics, it never changed.  It did not change for interview scheduled either. 

 

That's all I have for now guys.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I am sorry if there are any mistakes, I am writing fast and without proof-reading.

 

Waiting on "Card in Production" now  

Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations !!!

Hey Everyone, 

 

I filed our AOS back in Nov 2017 and received our notice two weeks later with a biometrics appointment for Dec 16th. Everything was sent off smoothly but we still have not heard anything with regards to my EAD and interview!! Is anyone else having the same issue? Reading everyone reviews stating they have theirs within a matter of months makes me very impatient and nervous! I just want to hear something!! Feel like I’m losing my mind... waiting!

Hopefully we will hear soon! I’ve looked at other forums and we are not alone. There have been other people who have filed in NOV who still have not heard anything.
