It has been a long drive but we are home. Earlier I posted my cover letters (if you want to know what I sent) but here is the interview experience:

Appointment was at 2:00, we arrived around 1:15 (We gave us a lot of extra time, because of 3 hour drive). We were called in around 2:20 by a young woman, she was very nice and invited both me and my husband in her office. She swore us and took our appointment letter+passports+driver licences. She started by asking my husband all the questions from I-130, and than asked me all the questions from I-485. Afterwords she asked:

How did you meet?

How long have you been together?

What does your husband likes to do on his free time?

What does your wife likes to do on her free time?

Do you have any additional documents you would like to submit?

She too my I-94 and said to expect the conditional green card in the mail in 7-10 days, after receiving always have it with me. And explained about removing conditions. The online case shows "Decision"

I am extremely happy. It took only 83 days! We are celebrating! It was painless.

Good luck to everyone waiting.

If you guys are like me, you'll get your "Welcome to the United States" letter by the end of the week.

12/24/2010 I proposed. She accepted and stayed.

02/25/2011 Married!

03/19/2012 FINALLY submitted the AOS paperwork: I-130, I-485, I-765, etc.

03/23/2012 Received notification that USCIS has received everything.

03/26/2012 Biometrics Appointment Notice: April 23, 2012.

04/02/2012 NOA's received. Now we wait...

04/23/2012 Biometrics completed.

05/18/2012 EAD card mailed but not yet received.

06/06/2012 Rough interview but we think we're approved! Website says i485 status "Card Production".

06/12/2012 We received the "Welcome the United States" letters! Website says Green Card was mailed.

LIMBO: Green card lost in mail. Facing the possibility of paying hundreds in fees and basically repeating the entire process.

All good now! USPS lost it, then found it.

04/24/14 Back to VJ to get help with I-751, Removal of Conditions.

05/31/14 Mailed I-751 finally, with less than a week to deadline!
