Thanks britsimon, I'm not sure but very much hope so, I still haven't received any notice (text or e-mail) yet. Not even "decision".
Will see I hope something shows up before the weekend because the last 2 days were the longest...

Congrats to you too ! I dont think there will be any issue. We might have bumped into each other in waiting area. We were the couple with Black and Red jacket (from India).... 
, dont know if you will remember....
I wasn't told anything regarding a "notice letter" and wasn't given anything at end of the interview.....is it something that she gave to you? What does it say exactly? Our case is still in Acceptance too....

Thanks! I actually just got the text/e-mail that my card is in production!!!!
I think I did see you guys in the area. I was wearing green with black pants. Obviously I am extremely happy now and very grateful to all of you here at the forum! You guys were extremely helpful and I will be adding/updating my dates to the spreadsheet (i just need to go back and get the right dates) so others can use my data to crosscheck with their cases.
dvlottery2014: the notice letter that I got at the interview marks the "your case is being held for review" option which I think is the reason why she couldn't say the magical "approved" word at the interview. I think the reason is that I had a YES in the yes/no section which I am guessing that it requires one extra step of revision, however she specifically mentioned at the interview that it won't affect me in any bad way, and luckily it didn't.

Update:
This time not just good news but very good news!
After my info pass on Tuesday I had received a call back saying someone would call me to setup the interview date. And of course I did not, so I was very furious today. The lady again said the officer may not be available today but she was still going to email him. In 10 minutes she calls my name and says “officer is asking if you are ready for the interview today.” I said YES.
After waiting for 20 minutes in the interview waiting area the officer called my name and leads me into his office. The very first thing he says is Oh so won the lottery hah! Took oath, went over i485 and then he went over my documents. Interview was about 20 minutes. Before leaving he said that my interview letter was mailed yesterday which was scheduled for the 26th Feb and I should ignore the letter. He then said that every thing looked fine and will take 30 days to make a decision. I have already received the text and status shows card production.
Questions he asked besides I-485
1. When was the last time I entered? Port?
2. When was the last time I saw my family back home?
3. My parents’ names
4. Why do I have so many I-20’s? Which school do I go to? What’s my major? (He wanted to see all my original I-20s. I did not have them all, just had photocopies, he said it was fine)
5. Do I have any job offers?
5. My city of birth and does it snow there? (While asking this he wanted to see my original birth certificate and the translated one)
6. Which university did I come to when I first entered United States? Have I always maintained my status?
7. Do I prefer Texas over the state that I initially came as F1 student?
8. Do I intend to go back after my master degree? (Before I could answer this he answered it for me saying “I hope you are going to say no since you are giving this interview”.
Thank you all for your immense support and advice.Thank you all for lifting my spirit when I was about to give up. For others in Dallas field office my advice would be to constantly follow up. Also make appointments for later part of the day instead of early mornings since more supervisors and officers are available during this time.

Hello, guys!
We were in Chicago FO too an the same time like you 10:15 and 10:45)))) The interview seemed like OK, but IO didn't say "approved", just mentioned about 30 days for produced cards.... and our status hasn't changed yet..only "Acceptence"....((( I'm worried......
What do you guys think?

hello,
I have birth certificate in my national language, and I also ordered a notarized copy from home. Do I need any notary work from US publication?
Also my school and high school mark-sheets and a certificates (as we have in Nepal) are in Nepali and English. Do they need to be notarized.
And if not too much to ask what documents am I looking for to take to the interview?
--> I have collected birth certificate(notarized in Nepal + original)
--> High School certificates
--> US College transcript,
--> financial document (letter of employment and affidavit of support(just to be sure))
--> all documents related to AOS process
Thanks. Much appreciated

Why risk it? Get a new corrected passport from your country's embassy.
Ok... Lets wait.... Just relax..., relax..., )))
(If it's Infopass, how long should we wait?)
