4/14/16 AOS Package was mailed.
4/15/16 AOS Package arrived at Chicago Lockbox.
4/25/16 Received emails and text messages that the package had arrived.
5/06/16 Got 3 letters in our mailed that each application was received.
5/13/16 Got Biometrics appointment on the mail.
5/25/16 Biometrics done at Elizabeth NJ-went early -was the first one in and we were out in 15minutes.
6/03/16 Status online "Interview for I485 is ready to be scheduled"
6/14/16 Status online changed to "Interview scheduled for July 19"
7/19/16 We went for our Interview-Approved on the spot. interview about 15-20 minutes. gave us Welcome letter.
7/19/16 Status online changed immediately to "Card being produced"
7/19/16 Champagne Toast!
7/20/16 I130 status changed to approved.
Never got the EAD, and status online for it.
The Interview:
Appointment was at 9 am so we went an hour early, went through security, gave our appointment letter. We sat on the waiting room.
A bit after 9 we were called in. The guy was nice yet very serious, asked to see our passports, marriage certificate, and my birth certificate. Other than that he did not look at anything else and believe me I brought tons and tons of evidence.
He asked how did you meet? when we moved in together? then he took his time looking at everything on the file he had and kept checking things on it with a red pen and kept typing things on the computer. finally he said i know your marriage is real and I am approving this right now, he congratulated us and gave us a welcome letter and said the green card should arrived in one or two weeks. My husband said now we can live our lives and I said yeah now we can travel and the officer smiled. We left and went home very very happy, and the status online immediately changed to Card being produced.
I want to thank everyone on this forum because i used a lot of information from here to build up our case. wish you all the best of Luck.
