No update yet from USCIS... my online status still says "interview & testing" for I485 and "initial review" for I130... :(... I hope... they don't put our files on the side..
 
Hi LadyM, thanks for your concern. I did a second infopass just to find out that my file that was"under review" last month went suddenly missing from Newark FO (no comments) so I am having a break from the forum recently... not much I can do but to wait so I rather don't think about it much. Rest assure as soon as I hear something I will let you know...We' ll see....
congrats to all the green members from this forum!!
 
Today, I received text/emails confirming that my parents AOS (I-485) applications are approved.. however, the wording of the email is troublesome...

The following is the wording from email:
“we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283”

Not sure what “ADIT Processing mean…” did anybody received similar email when their file is approved???
 
Hi VP2003,

After my interview I got the same email:
"Your Case Status: Decision

On March 7, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283. "

And 7 days later I was getting my green card in the mail. So I would say not to worry about that.
 
This is an update to my mother's application for a green card. She arrived in the US on a tourist visa in August 2010 and we applied for her green card in November 2010. (Parent of a US citizen)

My mother had her I-485 interview in San Francisco on 3/16/2011.

We drove to SF and found paid parking just across the USCIS building. We arrived about 30 minutes before the scheduled time. Interview started promptly on time and the very friendly but professional officer invited us to his office and asked both of us to raise our right hands and take oath ( I will state the truth...). He then looked at my photo ID and mom's passport. He asked for all immigration documents and we gave AP and EAD.

He then started going over the I-485 application and asked my mom some basic information (complete name, DOB, SSN, her parents names, how many children, address in US, foreign address, date arrived in the US, etc.) She was also asked when she decided to apply for green card ( she answered 3 months after arrival and that I her son convinced her to apply) and about her previous visits. He also reviewed most of the information on I-485 application and asked all the "Have you ever.." questions. Some of those questions were quite embarrassing for my mom but she was aware of them as I went over the questions with her earlier. The officer also noted down arrival and departure dates from all visits on the application. He then reviewed the notations he made and asked my mom to sign at the bottom.

After the interview we were given a letter with "Further review" box checked. He also mentioned that he is waiting for some background check and everything else is OK. Surprisingly he did not ask to see ANY original document - I had a sack full of documents with me. He asked for documents for any changed circumstances since application was made - There was no change in our circumstances. The determination to assign our case for "further review" was a big disappointment for us.

When we returned home, a surprise waited for us in the afternoon - online status changed from Initial Interview to Card Production Ordered. Also received email from USCIS with the same update. Ironically the system still does not recognize receipt number for I-130.

Now the wait is for the actual card to arrive.

I'd be happy to answer questions. This forum has been of immense help for me during my own journeys through the immigration maze.
