I am happy to share with you all that my GC has been approved. It was simple and easy.

Our Interview was at 11:30 AM. We were called inside at 12:00 PM. The interviewer was very nice.

It hardly lasted for max 15 minutes. We were out by 12:15 or so...

Just asked for my name and DOB. Then she asked whether we have children. We said one then she asked for the copy of my child's BC. Where my husband is working? She asked us for the marriage date. Then she asked me the routine "yes" and "no" questions.

When I first and last entered the country? Since when I am working for the company. Whether I have been in the same status since I entered.

My husband was asked as to which company I am working for?

I was asked for my cell phone no and husband his no and she put in the same in a paper and asked us to sign the paper.

She said "I am approved for a 10 year GC and I will be getting it in 3 weeks.".

We thanked her and left...

Thanks to one and all in this forum - who have supported us and helped us with our queries....

Congrats to guinness301, AkaMuzik, xkywalkor and Nightkd!

Best of luck to those who are having interview in the coming days...

Finally green card arrived in the mail.

A couple days ago online case status for my I-485 rolled back from "Document production or Oath Ceremony" to "Post-Decision Activity" and I received email stating that approval notice for my case was mailed on September 30. I thought that was an absurd update because I already received approval notices for I-130 and I-485 on September 25. Online case status for I-130 petition still shows "Initial Review". Online case status is definitely somewhat unpredictable and is sometimes behind the actual action of USCIS. I checked the mailbox a few minutes ago. Guess what, green card finally arrived in the mail. :)

You sure you got the "Approval Notice" before you got the GC? Could it be the "Welcome Notice"? Would you please check and let us know?

As far as I have seen - "Approval Notice" for 485 = the mail piece containing the GC.

You are right. The I-485 notice that was received one week ago actually says that it is "Welcome Notice". Thanks for clarification. I thought it was I-485 approval notice, just like the notice for I-130 that was received on the same day. :D
 
Received my GC today!!!!!

Hi all,

It seems USCIS is doing a great job recently. Congrats to all new LPRs and all the best to those still in the process.

My time-line is below.

YAY!! :D Congrats! :)

We're still waiting for GC, welcome letters...etc...haven't heard anything! However, our status on the online records has changed to show the card is in production! Which is good I guess... Just annoyed because our mail is being utter CRUD right now!

I DID get my SS number through today and yes, it has the note on it, so we'll have to go back and get that changed when the GC comes through... The SS number itself won't change though will it? I can still use it to apply for driving license etc? I think it's better to wait for the GC to come through before we get the DL, but I can still use this SS number before I get the note taken off the card?

Thanks. :)

Hi guys,

Just a little good update. I've got my GC in the mail today. Therefore, my process is totally done now. But I will come back to check on this forum often to see what I can to to help.

Good luck with people who have Interviews coming up. Everything should be fine.

Best.

What is the normal time to receive a social security after applying for it? I applied for a new ss last wednesday and am anxsious to receive it.
 
They say 30 days, I got mine in 2 weeks. Then you can get your drivers license which takes about 30 days... I'm still waiting for my license:)
