Hey everyone, My I-485 interview was October 22 2018, went in at 1.30 pm, interviewer took my husband and I oath and than had us sit down, asked us about our names and date of birth, how we met and went over I-485 question and that was all, he said he approved my son and i green card and that we will get it in mail in 2 weeks. In all it was smooth and the interviewer was very nice and it all took 10 minutes, and he explained how to apply for 10 year green card and other formalities. Thank God for this day, and thank you all for the support. Good luck to everyone else. We filed on July 2018 and did biometrics on August 2018, got interview letter on September 2018, interview October 2018. still no AP or EAD!!

My wife and step-daughter had their AOS interviews today in Baltimore.  Our appointment was at 7:30, we arrived at 7:00, and completed security and check-in by 7:30.  We waited about 20 minutes before being called.  The interview lasted just over an hour as the officer reviewed the AOS application line by line.  He asked how we met, if I met her parents, and what initially drew me to my wife.  He asked my wife questions about my children, sister, my birthday, and where we go grocery shopping (based on our checking account statement). I provided pay stubs, joint bank statements and utility bills, insurance policies, photos, and notarized letters from my father, sister, son, and daughter.

 

He asked my step-daughter questions - who am I / what does she call me, how old is she, what is her name, and what time do I leave for work.  Her mother was allowed to translate when needed and she responded to all the questions in English.

 

The officer said he "did not see any reason not to approve us," but still needed to complete one more review before making a final decision.  He then talked about the next steps . . . when the green card would arrive, when to remove conditions, apply for citizenship, etc.  He gave us two form letters (one each for my wife and step-daughter) that stated that further review was needed before making a final decision within the next 120 days.  I am assuming (hoping) he wouldn't go through the trouble of explaining what happens after receiving the green card if he wasn't going to approve the applications.

 

Right now (3 1/2 hours since we left the USCIS office), the status on the old website says the interview was conducted but the case requires further review.  On the new website, it still says "Interview Scheduled."  I am hoping to see "in production" soon, as the officer said they would receive their green cards in the mail within 1 week from that status change.  For me, the last 6 hours have been the most stressful of the entire K-1/AOS process!  We are so close but still have no idea how much longer we must wait.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You're our second approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I CAN"T EVEN
I am so happy for u!! CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSSSS

 

But yes-- AP/(EAD -- they both should be a combo card since u applied at the same time) should be coming soon.

This is mad exciting!

Ah I don't think my EAD will be approved because when I sent it with my AP, they sent it back so I had to re-do that again. So my AP is June and my EAD is July. BUT I'd love it if they did come together, won't hold my breath though :(

 

Thanks so much. I'm excited to try book a flight home!

It's the approval letter for my AP!  How crazy! Damn, I could have gone on that trip after all, but now I can plan a new one!

Should get the document or whatever it is (considering it won't be the combo card?) within the next 2 weeks, right?

congrats

Had our interview today.  They separated us and asked us similar questions.  However there was no decision made.  How long does it normally take after that?  Officer said she had to do one final review as she does with all her cases, and if it looks ok then we are approved.  The anxiety is killing me

Hopefully u get approved. Congrats in advance

So just following up.  We had our interview today but the officer said it could be 2-3 weeks.  However, online it has changed to 'new card is being produced'.  Does this mean we were approved?

Yes you're approved

Hi!

 

I filed my AoS in late July and had an infopass appointment a couple weeks back saying that they will be scheduling me for a GC interview in December. My status changed to "Case Ready To Be Scheduled" about a month ago now. The woman at the desk said I was very fortunate as other people on the list I am on have been waiting since 2016!

Well we didn't win the lottery so I guess we are still stuck waiting for my husband's approvals.

I went there to get documents to apply for a driving lisence but they said I can’t apply until I get my EAD. So I asked when that will be and the woman called the person who deals with scheduling GC interviews who said I would most probably be receiving my combo card and an interview date in November! Apparently she was sending letters out in early November for the interviews. So just waiting!

Thanks for the info. Actually even I thought of booking an info pass appointment. But don’t have a valid reason. Just thought that will increase the chance of someone touching my documents and process soon.
