She got a SSN on her K1 I-94 but it's in her maiden name. She did ask for a new SSN card on the I-765 so hopefully they just update the name for us and avoid the headache of getting another appointment.

So she actually did get an updated SSN card today, same number but married name now, so that saves us some trouble. Will probably try to get an appointment for another one without the "work authorized only with DHS approval" text when she gets her green card, but at least it won't be a huge problem.

We just did our interview and it went well, just way to many questions. It is not a really comfortable situation when you are being asked so many private questions by a stranger but oh well, nothing we can do about it and hopefully in about 2-3 weeks I’ll get the card. I’m just happy that after 2 years we are done with this and now we can hopefully take some break until removing conditions. 

BTW the ead card is out for delivery

Honestly it wasn’t that bad, but I’m a person who doesn’t like to share a lot of private things with strangers so it kinda made me uncomfortable. 
The questions were: when did you meet, how did you meet, when and where was your first date, why did you get married, did you travel before and where, when where and how did you propose, how long do you live together, address, phone number.. that’s what came up on my mind right now about our relationship questions. But first he went through the i485 form and just asked almost everything from it. It was really annoying to be honest. 
I do understand they kinda want to “investigate” and see if the marriage is bona fide but that was a lot lol

Oh wow, way more questions then we got. She asked for joint papers (rent agreement and sorts) and asked address and phonenumber. The only personal question she asked is how we met. After seeing the wedding photos she said I'm gonna approve you. She didnt even asked the official documents, she only kept the photo's. That was a lot of copying for nothing 🙈

Got a notification 2 hours later that card is being produced 😃

[LegalAlienn 125]

Got asked for more evidence, marriage certificate, my wifes drivers license, passports, bank account, tax return.. I can’t even remember what else I submitted, it was sooooo much. 
And to make it worst it was at 7am, who wants to work that much at 7 in the morning hahaha

[LegalAlienn 125]

New card is being produced.. thank god finally it’s over.. I would like to say thank you to all from this forum who helped in this process

The problem is that since I still do not have a SSN for my husband it was impossible to add me to his bank account......so besides the lease, the gym membership and the phone agreement and a car..I don't have anything else....

You should be fine and just add some more photos

Congratulations to all of you for getting closer to your green card!!! Really happy for y’all. 
I have a quick question; does anyone know how I could potentially speed up the process on my side…? I got my biometrics done in the beginning of August and it then changed to case is ready to be scheduled for an interview but since then nothing…. I would really love to have my combo card and finallly being able to start my career. I had already done a request regarding the travel authorization since it was technically out of normal processing time which is why I got my biometric appointment. But nothing since then and I don’t know if there is anything I could do to help speed it up? 
TIA 🙌🏼

If you did your biometrics and it says that interview is ready to be scheduled I think that there is nothing you can do to speed it up. It really depends on the field office now when will they schedule it. However if it goes another month or so, I would try to call them and check what’s going on

Just done my interview today at 10.15 AM CT at the St. Louis Office. 

 

The interview went super well and smooth. The lady was nice and tried to put us at ease. She went through the AOS form and asked me to confirm the answers we have given.

She only wanted to have some bona fide documents so I handed her the car title where I appear as TOD (transfer on death beneficiary), 2 lease agreements for the apartment we have been renting since 2020, pictures of us and our wedding, life insurance where I appear as the 100% beneficiary. I also gave to her the gym membership and the phone plan but unfortunately my name was not stated in any of these documents so she did not want them. I also showed to her congratulations cards for our wedding.
