March 2009 Filers for Family based AOS post here

My case got approved yesterday. I got the stamp on my passport. I was told that the card would arrive in 2 weeks.

My interview was schedualed at 10:30am on June 30th, 2009. I arrived there 30 mins earlier, but there were quite a few ppl ahead of me. My husband and I waited for about 40 mins.
The interviewer was very friendly. He escorted us to his office. The document he asked:
My passport, I-94, my driver's licenese
My husband's US passport and driver's licenese
All the document issued to me: AP, EAD, interview letter

The questions he asked:
Where did me meet each other?
Where was my husband born?

He noticed my husband traveled a lot, he was kinda interested in it, so we told him about my husband's visit to my home country two years ago.

He asked me a bunch of YES or NO questions, my current job. He also noticed that we brought in two big envelops with the supporting documents in.

He took the joint car insurance, the house mortgage bill, the joint health insurance, cell phone bill, and the jewerly insurance for my engagement ring. And he made a copy of all the documents. Then he told us he was going to approve our case. The stamp on the passport is good for a year, but I should have the card in mail in two weeks.

The whole procedure was pretty fast and friendly.

Good luck to everyone who will have the interview in the near future. And good luck to those who are still waiting for the interview letter.
 
Got the GC in the mail today too.

Question.
Somebody here said we need to reapply for SSN once we have our greencards, and I am guessing that the number won't change, but will it?
I think it's just that when we reapply, it won't say that it's only for work purpose. Am I right?

correct you will have the same number, it just you work auth status that will change. am taking mine for change on Thursday, as my hubby haas to go to SS anyway. However if you card says work only auth with dhs approval you can take your time, as your green card is also your work doc. :)

I'm still waiting for my IL :(
 
I am going to use it....going back home and to a wedding in Argentina.....I cant wait!
If i get kicked out - oh well.....I am not stopping my life for this damn process.
 
hi.. i am from the may 2009 filers.. i just want to ask some tips regarding my upcoming initial interview.. i see that a lot of you have already done the interview and were approved.. i guess some people in our forum have not yet received their interview letter and some of those that received theirs are scheduled later than my interview date.. i am hoping you can share your interview experience with me.. i am being sponsored by my USC husband.. we will be interviewed in buffalo, NY by the end of the month.. tnx in advance..
 
congrats!

i am still waiting...my case is still not showing up online.
i called cust service last week and they said that it can take up to 3 months to get the responce after you send out the RFE reply...well it has been 2. they told me to wait, in their systems my case is showing in pending status.

i guess, ill wait.
 
Yeah i had a post a few days back - i made an infopass apt and had to wait for the 90 days to pass after RFE....thank god it arrived the same exact day.
Just wait it out - they wont have any info for you even if you go in person.
 
Yeah, i was thinking abouth INFOPASS, but after your post changed my mind. Dont want to waste my time going to OKC and not getting any usefull information.

thank you. will wait
