I also already got my card in hand, 4 days after it got approved!

Amazing! Mine is in the mail as of 5/31, so I imagine it will arrive sometime this week (no tracking number to stalk it, sadly!). I also got my hard copy approval notices for the I-485 and the I-130 in the mail on 6/1.

Sweeet! :)

I got a tracking number which originally said I will get it today in the mail - but then it flew very quickly from Kentucky to NYC and was there with my hard copy approval notices on Saturday already :).  

Hope you get it this week! It feels so good!

Do I have to go to the SSN office now to update my SSN card?

I'm keeping an eye on my informed delivery!

 

I'm planning on making the SS office my first stop once I have my card in hand so that I can change it to my married name, and also remove the "valid only with DHS authorization" limitation. I don't know that you HAVE to do it right away, but I want to change the name so that I can file my taxes using my married name next year (we did file jointly this year, but had to file in my maiden name because that's the one SS and the IRS have on record).

We had our interview today 6/20

 

Here's what happened:

 

Interview was scheduled for 7:15 am. We got there at 6:30, and the line for security was out of the door. They do not start screening until 7 and the line moves very fast. 

 

Once we got to the 7th floor, around 7:10, there were only a couple of people waiting. One of the officers announced that they were having an issue with their computers, so they didn't call anyone until 9:30. We waiting for another hour until they called us. 

 

The lady that interviewed us was polite and very straight forward.

 

Questions asked: 

- When did I meet my wife?

- Do we live together? 

-  Did we have kids? 

- Did we have a wedding ceremony? 

- Asked something about a trip we took ...the question came up while she was looking through the photos. 

- Where do we live? 

 

The only tricky task she asked us to do was to highlight expenses on a credit card statement. She gave us two different color high lighters and ask to highlight each charge to indicate who made it. That was kind of weird, but it was pretty simple. 

 

Funny thing is that we didn't have a wedding ceremony. We are planning that this summer back in Kosovo since all of our relatives live there. We explained it to her and she was very understanding about it.  So we gave her all of the documentation (evidence) for that. She keep those documents. 

 

Out of all the documents which we put together,she only took the photos, renewed medical, bank statement and the wedding ceremony evidence. 

 

An hour after the interview, The USICS Case updated to "New Card in Production" 

 

If you have the interview soon, don't be too nervous about it. The whole thing lasted less then 20 mins. It would have been even faster if their system was working right. 

 

I would advise to get there early, have all of your documents in order and just be composed when they ask questions. The interview should be a piece of cake if you are actually living with your spouse.
