WE filed our AOS in July 2004 with the Atlanta office and received a transfer to CSC Sept. 2005 and we are still waiting????? Remember that if you do not receive an interview until after you have been married two years you should receive a permanent card and not the conditional card. We hope that our wait is for two more months then we will qualify for the permanent card. Sometimes a delay can be good!! Pray for all!
