Hi all,

I came today from my interview in Charlotte and I am happy to say that the whole experience was very pleasant. The officer was very courteous and polite and did his job professionally. He made us take the oath and then asked for 2 PP photos, passports, driving licences and social security cards. then he proceeded to take our index finger prints and we signed some kind of form (At that moment I knew he was going to approve our cases) then he asked me and my wife standard questions (Any criminal records, organizations,..) after that he took the I-94's and went to get us visa's and came back and stamped our passports and explained to us the power of the stamp and he said it is taking 2 months to get the physical cards but he said you never know.

It has been a long long journey starting from 1997 and till now from F1 to H1 and then EAD and I think all of us know how stressfull the whole process can be. At every single minute during all these years I was asking myself: is it really worth it? and today with all that is happening around us I think it was well worth it. I am happy I got it but after that it is like every thing else.
I got immigration to Canada at some point but I turned it down since I could not find any job in Canada and I was not ready to work at minimum wage to live there and every time we submited a job search whether it is for my wife or myself, it was like one university or company in the US has many more jobs than all job positions (in that category) in Canada from coast to coast so we decided to stay here and take a chance and thanks God it all worked out well at the end.

For all of you still waiting for their interviews or approvals, hang in there your day will come soon. Thanks for all members in these great forums, I really benefited a lot from all posts here. I will be here checking out these forums and trying to help where I can.

Thanks,
Spartakus

Thanks GC-4-all and hopefully you will get your PP stamped soon. By the way do you know what is the time frame for your priority to be current?

Thanks,
Spartakus
 
My priority date is Nov, 2002.
The Current April 2002 priority date can become current or just move one month at a time.
Going by the current trend, I will have to wait till this October at the max, coz every October there is a new quota of Visa's.

Hope it moves fast.
 
Thanks Sahib

Thanks Sahib and I hope you get your PR soon. if I remember correctly your interview is sometime next week, do not worry about it and relax and hopefully you will get your passport stamped by then.

Congratulations spartakus, me and my wife had our Interviews today at Houston office. Everything went on well. Officer checked my H1B documents and asked regular questions about arrest and stuff and made us sign and finger print on I-551 form and took mine and my wife's I-94s and said we are all set and we can go now and went out of the office before we could ask him anything.

any comments are welcome.

Thanks
