Hi everyone,

Just got home from my interview this afternoon and my AOS was approved!!!!!!!!!! :)

Our interview was very pleasant no stress at all and 15mins after, we were out of the building smiling :)

The questions were (for me):
my full name
my SSN
my address
my parent's names
my husband's birth date
my husband's place of birth
how did I enter the USA
If I had traveled outside the USA with my AOS pending
Yes or No questions (all of them)
she got our joint bank account statement
she got our cellphone bills
she asked for the original copies of everything we passed with our application
she got my EAD

For my husband:
His name
His SSN
my birth date
my place of birth
our address

Then she told us that we were almost done then she gave me a paper confirming my approval and she congratulated me and told me I can apply for US citizenship in 3yrs then escorted us on the way out :) She did not stamp my passport though coz I am not going out of the country any time soon so I should just wait for my GC in 2 weeks!!!

That was it! No sweat at all though I was very nervous and had sleepless nights but those nights are over!!! Thank God!!!

Thanks to everyone here in the forum who have helped me through the process of getting my 10yr GC and I'll see you guys in N-400 :) thank you from the bottom of my heart! Good luck to everyone on their interviews!!!!!

Hi everyone,
Congrats for the interview and ead :)
I have interview in two weeks and i am starting to be really nervous!!!! I don't have that many documents, for example on the lease i am only an occupant. To make me calm, hubby went to a leasing office and asked for a letter that would explain that i couldn't be on a lease as i didn't work at the time, and lady told him, i can't get you that because she could have been on the lease all this time :eek: He explained to her that when we were applying for the apartment they didn't give us that option, and told us the only way for me is to be an occupant. At the end, it turned out that lady that worked there before didn't know much about it, so now i am not on the lease, and i can't explain why :mad: She told him i can apply to be on the lease now, but what is the point, that's even worse... all of the sudden i am on the lease, yea right :(

This might sound stupid but....once I receive my new EAD card in the mail, does that mean I can work for almost any company I want now?

I used to have an EAD that was based off of my schooling which limited me to jobs in my field (accounting and finance)
 
Interview -Approved!!!

We had interview this morning. We got there hour earlier but weren’t called until 15 minutes after our schedule time. IO walked us in, asked us to stand up and swore us in. He asked for my passport and I-94 and my wife D/L. He asked Yes/No questions on the application. he did not ask many questions. he just asked

1. When and where we met
2. Whether I met my wife’s family and vice versa.
3. what I do
4. What my wife do
3. Asked for joint account statements. I gave him copies of all the documents we have (recent bank statement, health insurance card,etc)

And then he asked for wedding album, went through it asking who’s who and about rituals. he spent more time on album than anything else.

than he said he is ready to approve case and he can also stamp my passport. I said ok. so he went out and came back with stamped passport. he said you will get GC in 2 weeks.
thanks everyone for answering my questions. Good luck to all !!

Hi everybody. I just want to share about my interview experience.
My wife and I been married for almost 6 years. Our interview was today around 11:00am.

We arrived there 15mins early, however we were called around 12:00pm. The IO asked me only two questions and bunch of yes/no questions. He then asked for documents to prove that we're staying together, which i provide a bunch of them. We then spend some time talk about ordinary things (out of interview) includes travel and things like that.

Last he took my EAD, I-94 and AP and attached them on my file and he said you don't need them. He then told me that he have to check all the documents and make sure nothing is missing, and if anything is missing he will give me a call. He asked if the number appeared on I-485 is still valid, which i answered yes. He said give me between 1-3 days. If i need anything i will call you so you can provide to me, he continue saying however i don't see if I need anything at this moment. Then he said if you not heard from me in 1-3days then wait 4-6 weeks your card will be in the mail.

I checked my status online and seems nothing has changed since JULY. I don't know if i was approved or not... My wife asked him if we were approved and he made a jocks said so far so good, but i have to check all the documents. Last he told me don't listen to wife if she told you to travel oversea before your GC.

The problem is I don't know why he took my EAD and AP? I just got those two.... I am losing sleep out of this things, i hope everything will be smooth. I need to be more patient i guess, but it's hard especial after many years like this.

If he got your EAD and AP then your good coz those wont work if your an LPR already. My status online did not change after a day of my interview. Try to check it out from time to time but for the mean time don't stress it :)

Patience my friend :D
