I jointly filed my 495, 765 and 130 and finally got my green card in the mail yesterday. The officer at my interview said I should expect the card in 2-3 weeks after the approval date, but it came in just one week, even with new years in the middle of it. Hope everyone gets their approvals soon in this thread.

Just received my interview notice. 
Scheduled for February 12 at the Hartford office.

We just flipped to interview scheduled today - yay, finally! I am thinking if you got the 12th we’ll probably be around the 19th or so. 

[Shawn_Lock 36]

That’s Awesome !  It’s sounds like Hartford is scheduling pretty consistently at this time. 

[Murph4444 12]

My interview is scheduled for Feb 3rd also in Hartford.

 

Question for you CT folks: I did not submit an I-693 Medical with my original case but have been requested to bring one to the interview. With what civil surgeon in the state did you have yours done?

[Shawn_Lock 36]

Dr Henry Jacobs Bloomfield Ct

We had our interview on Monday (1/6/2020, Chatsworth, Ca ) everything went well except that the fact they did not include my divorce papers with the 129F so the officer was not able to approve us, she did mention that everything looks good and in order and that she has to request that information from whichever office sent them the package, and that a decision would be mailed to our house, so I would advise anyone who has been divorce to take the decree, didn't think that I would need to since everything was sent already but that's the nature of the beast, we are still in good spirits we just wanted to share our experience.

[Shawn_Lock 36]

That’s great advice. Bring originals of everything. It’s better to be over prepared.

Just out of curiosity, the divorcee decrees were not on the list of documents on your appointment letter? Because it was on mine.

@Valmabe to be honest I don’t really know,   but if it did than I guess I’m just as in much fault as they are.

Had my interview today at the Orlando, FL office and it went very well. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were called in around the time we were supposed to be. The interviewer was a nice lady and immediately got straight to the point.

 

She asked me for my ID, social security card, and EAD/AP card. She requested my husband to give her his ID - he gave her his drivers license. She then asked how we met and asked the time line from how we met until now - we just gave a very brief summary as we have been with each other since 2011. She asked for all proofs of relationship. I handed over 1 joint bank statement, 4 joint credit card statements, joint health insurance documents, joint phone bill from January with January's call/text log included (I highlighted all the calls and texts between my husband and I). 

 

She then wanted photos of the wedding and photos with family members - I had about 12 photos printed from the time I arrived in America until now, so I gave them all to her and she kept them all in our file. She asked if we had taken any trips together, and we had gone to New York back in September. So, I gave her our Airbnb receipt and our flight itinerary from the trip - and we had photos on the Brooklyn Bridge. We are also going away this April, so I gave her the itinerary for our upcoming trip. 

 

She asked about a joint lease, joint ownership, or car insurance, etc... we didn't have any of that as my husband had purchased his house and car before we got married and never added my name to anything. That was okay and did not cause a problem. Then she asked me if I came to America to commit any crimes (and listed a summary from the questions on the i-485) and I said no. 

 

She then spent the rest of the time explaining the green card, when to apply for removal of conditions, naturalization, etc. She mentioned that instead of printing individual photos, that we should make to a collage of them on a word document and label each one with the day, location, and who is in the photo instead of printing individual photos (which I had done for the K1 application, so I don't know why I didn't do that for this interview! ) . 

 

Since I was adjusting from a K1 visa, I DID NOT do a new medical. I'm glad that the interview is done and went so smoothly! Best of luck to everyone else!
