I had my greencard interview today in the Atlanta Field Office. The officer's name was Swift. He was very nice and correct. He went over my application first asking basic questions (where we live, where I lived before, ...) And making sure the info was correct. Then he asked the questions about terrorism etc. Then he asked for some proof. We had tons of proof, so I asked which things he'd prefer to see. I gave him bills, joint accounts, affidavits from family, rental agreement. I had more, like pics etc but I think he got the gist. 

 

He went through a few more things and then said I was approved. I think he was one of the toptier officers as he was able to make that decision on the spot? Not sure.

 

He was friendly, and we didn't really get any questions. He did ask my husband when he came to me (twice), but nothing much more.

 

I was stressed out because one officer gets to decide over your future, but in the end, it was not weird, nor did we get the impression he was out to get anyone. I think his experience normally points him towards possible trouble and we weren't a blip on his intuitive radar.

 

After we were approved, he went over the AP/EAD card (that it's no longer valid now, as I was approved for the greencard), where my greencard would be sent (our home address), how long it would take (four to six weeks), what "conditional" meant, how to apply to remove those conditions, and how and when to become a US citizen.

 

We had a very positive experience.

 

The only thing that was risky, was that I did not have an updated medical, but he clearly knew I didn't need this, although he did ask if I had an updated one or not (I didn't). It wasn't a problem.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate

 

I think what happened is when they checked the package the first time they saw my check with the correct amount and processed the application but realized later that it wasn't preprinted like it should have been. 

Just wanted to say I'm sorry for this, but I hope it will be a quick turnover and they won't make you do everything twice.. what does the status of your old application says?

[Mr & Mr 101]

Hey guys!

Quick question. Our status just has been changed to Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview.

How long does it takes to be really scheduled?

If you have confirmation that your GC is being processed at your local service centre (in Miami??) You can check the processing times of that SC on the USCIS processing times webpage.

It's a letter from family members that state who they are, what their relationship is to you two, and that they confirm you're married and seem happy. They need to add a copy of their driver's license. We had them from my parents in Belgium (with copy of their ID), from his parents, and his uncle as my husband is close to him. 

 

They just state simple things, like "I am X's mother. X and Y often come by for a cup of coffee. They seem happy together.". Something like that but in their own words.

He didn't really read them , but added them to the file.

 

They're not necessary, but I got them anyway.

So sorry, I filed September 2017 not 2018!!! I didn't see I wrote this in the wrong topic. Yikes.

That will depend on your FO, no telling when that could be. Some FO's are way faster than others.
