ID/DL update?
our interview is coming up, but my husband (US Citizen) didnt update his DL/ID. He still has California ID even tho we moved here in New York since last year. His Car is also registered in California.. Would that be a problem? we only moved here cuz he is an intern resident and got matched in a hospital here and is always so busy working so we didnt have the time.t we filed our Case here too.. Interview is on june 11. federal plaza
should we get him a new york id or its okay? He has paychecks with our address here in new york tho. bank statements also say our adress here.

F1 to I485 (marriage based)
Did anyone else have their interview on Friday, May 24 and have heard/seen online about their case being approved? The IO that interviewed us said on the spot that we are most likely approved, but she just has to make sure all the documents are complete.
She gave us a "Notice of Interview Result", and checked off "Your case is being held for review. At this time USCIS does not require any further information or documents for you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule another interview, you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete."
I have been spazzing ever since we walked out of that room, checking my case status non-stop. With how fast everyone else got a decision, I was hoping I would hear something at the end of the day. I am also assuming that due to the holiday (Memorial Day), a lot of things are delayed - including reviewing of my case. Our immigration attorney was in the room with us and afterwards told us that there should not be any problem.
I'm just curious if anyone else were in the same boat as us, or had their interview on Friday and have heard back!

AOS in 5 months! Marriage based. B1/B2 visa
Hi ! I just want to share my experience. I have learned a lot from the posts here and I want to show appreciation by writing my experience.
Applied for AOS (I-485 for me and my minor daughter), EAD, Advanced Travel Document, I-130 (for me and my minor daughter), I-864 (affidavit of support, from my USC husband)
The process took 5 months to complete and I am very happy with the speediness of the process.
Dec 10,2018 - Package received at Chicago Lockbox
Dec 14, 2018 - Notice of Action (I-797) received for all applications
Dec 21, 2018 - Notice of Action for Biometrics appointment
Jan. 10,2019 - Biometrics at Tampa Office (Took 10 minutes, my hair was not cooperating)
No word from USCIS
I would check online obsessively. I had my case numbers memorize. Each form has a different case number. Again, checking obsessively.
Mid-March 2019 - We sent a letter to expedite Advanced Parole Document as I needed to travel before April 25,2019, we did this because we went to my USCIS Office and asked about expedition, this was their advice, to write a letter to expedite.
We had documents translated and attached and sent it to Lee's Summit MI as that was where my Notice of Action letters were coming from, meaning they were handling my case. We sent it thru UPS.
April 16, 2019 - I check online, My EAD and Advance Parole Document were granted and in the mail!
April 17, 2019 - Notice of Action for I-485 interview for me and my daughter.
April 18, 2019 - I get my SSN card in the mail.
May 23, 2019 - Interview day! Approved on the spot!!!
IO was straight forward. He asked:
How did you meet?
What did you do on your first date?
When did you get married?
Did you have a reception?
He asked my daughter only of her name and birthday, she's a minor. those are the only questions they can ask.
He said, I sent USCIS a ton of documents that almost hurt my case because they were a lot to comb thru. My husband said, yes but she also sent in a Table of Contents.
He said, you guys are the last batch of people who were allowed to send in paper documents. We're going digital, he said.
He asked if we filled out the forms. I said, I filled out all the forms and my husband double checked and triple checked it.
He said, " How did you manage to fill them out correctly, by reading the instructions ?" I said yes.
Then he said, "Ok I-130 granted, he stamps on one form. Now that's approved, a visa becomes available to you so no I can stamp your I-485".
"Congratulations, now, you are legal permanent residents of the USA".
"You have to come back in 2 years to apply for removal of restrictions of your green card". "You can apply for that 3 months before the 2 years".
"In 3 years ,you can apply for a US citizenship, you can apply for that in 2 years and 9 months".
That's it! It took 5 months. From December 10,2018 to May 23, 2019.

Getting my paperwork ready for filing
Hi guys,
I have a questions that I'm a tad bit confused about.
How long after you submit your paperwork do you receive your work permit?
My current work permit(from daca) is about to expire, and i would like to know long of a wait i have? I know everyone experiences are different, but it will sure help to understand the timeline.
Also how long does it take for them to schedule the interview?
My husband and I have known each other for 15 year, have been together for 6 years, and married for 3 years. We have a 9 year old, a 2 year old, and a 4 month old.
I don't know why I'm so nervous, but i guess it's the thought of someone judging you trying to tell you if your marriage is real or not. Trust and believe our marriage is real.
We didn't have a wedding, we just went to the courthouse and got married. A lot folks i read have big weddings or big garthering after their courthouse ceremony, we didn't.
We have joint taxes, light bill, gas bill in our names. We don't have a lease, because we're renting from my mother. But we do have an affidavit stating that we live with her. We have pictures as well and letters from our friends.
What other proof do we need??

Called on day 120 officer said that there was no time limit. Last week text said card was mailed. To everyone still waiting post interview just be patient. I learned everything about how to proceed with my paperwork from the column. Thanks to everyone. Baltimore

Waiting for approval after interview Queens office-Federal plaza
I think it’s safe to say that I’m going crazy waiting to hear something from USCIS. My husband and I are constantly checking my status. I am literally having nightmares about this and it has only been 6 days since the interview. Sigh. I am so bored. Seeing that I was never given a work permit or an advance parole. Reading other people’s responses about how long they have been waiting freaks me out. It’s so unfair that we did our part and USCIS fail to give us an answer right there and then. Sooooo annoying.
What can I do to pass time and stop stressing out this?
