got approved!!!!!

I got approved on August 16th 2006.
My interview was scheduled at 8 AM, we got there at 7.30 AM.

At 8.10 AM we were called. Our officer was young lady. She was super nice.
She asked us a questions from all applications, like is you birthday this day, is you address is this, is your maiden name is this......etc.

Basically we were asked only one question which we had to answer, it was how we met. Thats it! The rest she was just verifying information.

Then she asked us to show document showing that we live together. She took lease copy, phone bills and thats it. She look at bank statements, credit card statements and she said she doesnt need them. And then she said you are approved. I got my passport stamped.

I am very happy that it was very easy, and I am done!

But today is August 17th 2006 and i still didnt get an e mail saying welcome to US

Thank you forum people. This forum was very helpful to prepare for interview.
Good luck to everybody who is going for the interview!

How significant is the passport stamp?

Congrats!

Do you guys think this is OK:


Our interview did not stamp the passport (saying that we did not really need it) but he did shake our hands and said that our application has been approved and that from that point I was a lawful permanent resident and my GC will come in the mail in the next 3-4 weeks.

Is this typical? We have been married for 3. 5 years, never submitted for conditional, did not submit any docs for advanced parole. Should I worry about the fact that we did not get a stamp? Is it really that important?

Our interviewer did say that I will be eligible to apply for naturalization in 2 yrs and 9 months.

Am I just stressing or has anyone had this sort of experience?

Spasibo, A.
