No, I did not. And I doubt they would let you even make one before the 60 days is over. Until then, unfortunately, you can only sit and wait...

pat_val, congratulations on your successful interview. If you go back in the thread to Dec 11, you can see my Garden City interview went almost exactly the same way as yours, almost word for word. They also gave me the 60-day notice paper. If there are are no other issues with your application...

Well you should have asked him about it. But if the "name check" box was not checked, you can assume you're OK and just wait. Your I-485 status will probably be updated online in a couple of days - that will most likely mean approval of your petition and sending the file back to MSC (or whatever...

Finally received my Green Card in the mail today! Next step: I-751 in mid-September next year :)

I received another LUD on my I-485 today, stating "approval notice sent." But I already got the Welcome Letter last week! Could that mean today they mailed the actual GC? How many days does it usually take between Welcome Notice and GC?

Yes, Garden City has a huge parking lot right by the entrance to USCIS office (east side of the building). As for the waiting, first you wait in the main waiting room dowstairs, and they will call you at the exact hour your appointment is scheduled for. But then you wait again upstairs in a...

Finally got my Welcome Notice in the mail yesterday!

Make sure you know the information on each other's G-325A's (the bio forms) by heart - most of the questions will probably be straight from there!

Did she take your I-94? Did you ask if the name check was complete? I had a similar experience - the IO said my name check was complete and she gave me a sheet with my name and alien #, stating that the final decision would be made within 60 days. I did not hear anything for exactly a month...

OK, never mind I just checked my email... Best of luck to everybody whose interviews are upcoming!!!

Not true, emiko got hers approved before Christmas. I still haven't heard squat and it's been almost 5 weeks since my interview...

My interview was 3 months after we applied, but I still haven't received the actual GC ("awaiting final approval" within 60 days, which will be beginning of February, 5 months after application).

Congrats Emiko! I am storming the mailbox every day now as I was interviewed the same day as you, but still nothing...

Uhhh so today for the 3rd day in a row I have LUD's for both I-130 and I-485 but still no status change... Any idea what could be going on??? :confused:

I hope so! Today they updated both again but once again there were no changes to the posted status. At least I know SOMETHING is going on with it...

I just noticed I have LUD's for both I-130 and I-485 with yesterday's dates, but there is no change in Current Status for either one (it still says "Case received and pending" and "On September 10, 2008, we received, etc etc"). Hope it's a good sign, but I can't stop wondering what exactly the...

Congrats emiko, looks like you beat me because I still did not hear anything

The letter had the I-485 case number on it, but I filed it concurrently with I-130.

Congratulations! Hopefully we will get approved quickly - it would be the best Christmas present I ever got. My IO didn't even ask if I had an EAD, let alone take it. I am not sure now if I should go and use it to get a state ID valid for one year or just wait for my green card and then get the...

OK here's more about my interview today. It was scheduled for 9am at Garden City NY. We got to the office at 8:40, went through security (no ID check), walked up to the window at 8:45 where the lady took our interview letter and told us to sit in the back along with the others. At 9am another...
