First of all thank you to leongsce and zuno for the support!
I just came back from the interview
Well I have to admit that I was a bit nervous and definitely not at 100% since I am not a morning person and 7.30am was super early for an appointment.
So the lady officer called my name and then asked for my ID. She made me wait in the hallway which caused me to freak out a bit... One minute later she was back with a copy of said ID.
She took me to her office and made me sit. I took the oath and she then started with the questions from I485. She was so serious, I couldn't relax, I was overly polite to try and make the atmosphere less tense but there was nothing I could do.
She looked so serious and strict she caused me to be overly nervous.
So she started with the Have you ever blabla questions, I said no one time after another. Then she goes "Do you intent to practice polygamy in the United States?" which definitely caused me to burst laughing and say "I'd be lucky to find one descent guy!" she then starts laughing to tears...
It was the moment when she changed into a whole different person, she started smiling, telling me things will be ok, and became super nice...
She then grabbed my passport and wrote on my visa. Then she looks at the computer and goes "Oh-OH, I shouldn't have cancelled your visa, do you plan on travelling anytime soon?" I told her no and said I should be fine then.
She then told me she could't issue everything just yet and had to wait tomorrow Sep 1st. She said she will do it first thing in the morning.
She asked for nothing at all except for state ID, passport, I94... I had to be the one giving her the Department of State Paid receipt. She couldn't care less about the rest; employment letter, W2, earning statements all these things had no use at all.
Then she started smiling, clapping her hands and said "don't worry everything will be fine."
So now I have to be patient and hope the rest will go smoothly.

Hi Damus,
Where is your field office, if you don't mind?
From your signature I see that your interviews
are set for 9/9/10. Make sure to go there all
together despite your not receiving a letter.
Have you set an InfoPass appointment a day
after the interview?
If so, make sure to call USCIS and try to talk
to someone in charge. Isn't it possible to get
an InfoPass before the interview?
You can also try to send a letter to your field
office explaining the situation in advance...

Frenchic, that's great news. Happy for you. Fingers crossed for everyone who hasn't yet finalized process. We should be ok
Hi sundaram,
There were two applicants from Baltimore.
Both of them got their cards in less than
three months. I don't remember any one
of them having any problems...

congrats frenchic!!!!!
you handled it like a pro dv interviewee!! being able to break the icy cold demeanor of the ao takes pro skills!!!! everyone else should learn from you.
once again congrats and don't worry ... you will get your gc soon!
I got mine updated today for "card production". Many thanks for all the members in this forum for helping each others by sharing their stories and knowledge about this whole AOS green card process. This has been very helpful for a better understanding of the whole process. best wishes for members who are still in the process. Special thanks to capeolive who keep this going and for his valuable comments

Thank you all !!!
@Damus,
Yes let's keep our fingers crossed! We still have one month, I am sure we will be fine
@Skul
I can't believe we are finally there, I remember how freaked out I was in July 2009 when I realized I had to wait a whole year to know if I really had won or if I'd never get my green card... Skyhigh number doing AOS was super risky!
@Capeolive
Thank you! Best case scenario I will receive a text/e-mail tomorrow and I will be able to relax. If not, I'll just have to be patient a little longer!
@Summet
Thank you
Well what's great about this forum is we all are individual pursuing the same goal ie getting the green card and none cares if you are a guy or a girl or about your age...
But yup I am a girl
@Winee10
I hope to be lucky enough to hear something tomorrow, I never had any update on my online USCIS case so I am really not sure if I will see anything soon... Congrats on the card production that must be exciting
@Leongsce
Thank you for your oh-so-sweet comment! I tried to do my best and make sure everything will go smoothly, I wanted to crack a joke for every single "have you ever question" but I refrained myself I got scared to end up in Guantanamo! I hope things will go as smooth as they did for you!

Yeah you are right about that. Now at this end of fiscal year, when I go back with the replay. it feels funny that how this forum looked male dominated while the story now just looks the opposite.ehhhe

Hi Summet,
Probably it is only a soft LUD.
When you get PDA your status
moves to Post Decision Activity.
In practice it means that your
card has been sent. Then you
can start monitoring your mailman
and make sure that he doesn't deliver
the card to the wrong mailbox...
