Approved!! Happy New Year, y'all!

[hmwtx 13]

We were overseas visiting husband's brother in Asia when we got the email notice that his green card has been approved as of Jan 16!  Hooray! 

 

We filed on 3/29/24

Interviewed on 8/8/24 (that was a dud interview, we were told in December that the interviewer failed to do the separation kind like she was supposed to, so they rescheduled us for another interview)

Re-interviewed 12/6/24

RFE issued at interview because we had given copies of stuff to the previous interviewer that mysteriously was missing from the file, so they wanted new copies and I hadn't taken any old stuff with me that day

Turned that stuff in via fedex on 12/16/24

Notice of approval in email on 1/16/25. 

 

Green card will be conditional, as we've only been married 10 months as of yesterday, but that's fine.  As a side note, his work authorization and advance parole card was issued in July, about 3 1/2 months after filing.

 

Our adventure has ended, just 293 days from filing to approval.  I know that we are lucky to have such a quick result.

Now he's haunting the mailbox waiting for the card to arrive - which is going to take a couple of weeks at least, I'm sure.
