Here's what I got (from my previous post):

Hey guys I'm going to post a list of evidence of relationship/ joint documents that we are bringing to our interview on Sept 17th.

* Bank statements from April - August with both our names on it. The bank statement for April actually has my wife's name before we were married then after that she has my last name (we got married at the end of April)

* Something from the bank showing we have a joint bank account.

* Health insurance cards

* Dental insurance cards

* Car insurance cards and mail from our insurance agent that has both our names on it.

* About 90 pictures that show proof that we have been a couple for about the last 5 years (there are pictures of my wife with my parents when she took a trip to the Philippines with me)

* Wedding album

* Apartment lease

* Program from wedding

* Letters from sister-in-law and wife's best friend attesting to our relationship.

I think that's it everyone. Thanks for the help.
 
All,

Finally got the email yesterday that the Production Crad has been ordered for my mother
Thanks all for your help on the forum-a special thanks to second stage, uk01 and Vishnu Mahadev-I'm not sure how I would have managed the whole process without this forum

No they didn't. The guy said that they do not give a decision the day of the interview. I will either have to wait for a green card in the mail or a notice to deny. Those were his exact words.
 
Here's the interview experience:

* 9:00 - arrived at the USCIS office
* 9:02 - put of interview notice in the mail slot
There were about 3 other couples in the waiting room
* 9:38 - called in for our interview
Our interviewer was a man and he was very stern. He did not smile throughout the whole process
* We were sworn in and asked for ID
* He looked through my passport then asked for proof of relationship/joint docs
* Looked through wedding pics asked a couple questions
* Went through my wife's info on the I-130
* Asked if I was in good health and have health insurance (probably because of a positive TB test). Showed him proof of treatment from doctor.
* Went through I-130 stuff for me
* Asked me questions concerning Saudi Arabia (I grew up there)
* Took my I-94
* Went through I-485
* Looked through his papers and marked some things down
* Then he something similar to, "that's all. Everything looks good. I don't see any flashing red lights" then he gave us the talk about how we will receive a green card in the mail or the a notice to deny (this made me very nerous). He said that he gives this talk to everyone.
* 9:53 - shook hands and done!

He didn't ask to see our marriage certificate or birth certificates. Didn't stamp my passport, but he took my I-94. Didn't take my EAD cards either.

It has been over 12 hours since the interview and I haven't heard anything yet.....so I'm freaking out about this....

I am sure everything will be just fine. I had the same experience, the officer didn't even take my I-94... You will see card production ordered soon :)

I am glad you to hear that your experience was similar to mine. Makes me breathe a little easier. Did the LUD change online and that's how you found out that your card production was ordered?
 
For some adjudication officers to have said that they don't tell to applicants whether application is approved or not after concluding the interview; or telling that they don't put a stamp on the passport about the temporary evidence of green card (I-551) if application does get approved then it's just a matter of their own personal modus operandi than as a matter of policies established/implemented by USCIS.

Most officers do tell the applicants if they do approve the application and most of them do issue/put a stamp on the passport about the temporary evidence of permanent residency...and many times without asking the applicants if they do want to get the stamp or not. So it's all about an individual officer's personal modus operandi. However, it is true that USCIS had stopped putting stamp last year until a few months ago because of fraud. Previously stamp wasn't included the seal of Dept. of Homeland Security; instead it used to be a simple ink stamp that anyone can forge to come to the US shores...at least up to the airport but now it contains the official seal of the dept. So, USCIS has re-started issuing the stamp.

Further, many officers just forget to take I-94, EAD, re-entry permit but that doesn't mean that application will not get approved. Sometimes they purposely don't take these documents as they need to get second opinion from their supervisor on the case.

Also, the status or emailing status on USCIS site shouldn't be taken seriously. Why? Because many times people don't get any email but do get their green card in themail. Some get emails a way back receiving the green card. So it's not worth to be worried on online status because online status doesn't always get updated by USCIS.
