UScitizenFilingforspouse, Where did you get this data? Looks cool...Is it on any website?

Are you a data junkie? https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-...ustment-status

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I know your case is already over but I?m glad you are still on here giving people hope. I will do the same. This entire experience can be nerve wracking especially with the current immigration climate.

I'm here to help until I find a job 😊 Ugh from one depression to another.

Oh I know. I?ll send you some links if your inbox is not full. They are at work from home jobs. My girlfriend forwarded them to me. You don?t have to be full time and For some you can pick your own hours. I plan to apply for them once I get my EAD while I search for an office job or keep them as my side hustle. They have weekend shifts too. The only thing is you will need a computer and a phone line. I know one is for American Express.

You should create a linkedin profile if you don't already have one. It's a good idea to "follow" companies that you would like to work for. Your linkedin profile is your brand. It must be perfect and free of any errors. You can apply to jobs listed on linkedin with your linkedin profile. You can also look up recruiters, and reach out to them of course. After a week or so of using the account, they will give you a free month of premium service. Take it. This allows you to email anyone and respond to as many messages as you need to. You won't need it after a month.

All the best,

Now I am awaiting the card. I really want to thank everyone in this forum to share their timelines, grievances, acceptances and approvals. Adjustment of status can be a long tedious process and we should encourage and help others in the same boat as much as we can. Here is my interview experience.

Interview time was 8:45 AM. My wife and I reached the office 30 minutes prior. Went through the security real quick and took our token and waited for our call. Officer came out sharp at 8:45 and called our token number. We went up to him and he told us that he'll be interviewing me first and then later my wife. I carried a folder of all the documents and photographs that we had initially submitted supplemented with any new documents of lease, car insurance, house lease etc., basically anything that had changed since our submission. He made me take oath for telling the truth and made me sit. He had a stern look on his face all this while. He asked for my index finger prints and then took photograph thru his camera. He had whole pile of my application in front of him and he started flipping through those asking me yes and no questions. He asked me about my student visa refusal about 8 years ago and what had happened, which I explained him. He was happy to learn that I did not give up on my ambition back then and decided to pursue my education from UK instead. He then started asking me questions like how I met my wife, her DOB, have I met her family, Have our families met each other, are there any cultural differences that we have experienced in our relation, has she traveled to my home country. The officer was originally from my home country before becoming a USC and could relate to my experience and started loosening up a little with me, cracking small jokes about my home town and culture there. Then he said if I had any question for him, to which I said no. AND then he very casually said "So there are a couple of things you should know when you RECEIVE your greencard"....and then carrying on to say removing my conditional status 90 days prior to expiration, checking my name and stuff while I was still uncontrollably smiling inside. He said that had I been married for 2 years (I got married in January), or more, and was filing my application, I may not even have had to come in for interview and they would have approved my case. (pretty interesting to know). And before he showed me my way outside in the waiting area, he joked that only way my GC may not be approved is if my wife comes in for interview and say that she was doing it against her will haha He asked basic questions to my wife and handed her the letter saying that my case was recommended for approval. Also, he did not ask for a single document or photograph for his file purpose. I assume my document containing text messages between me and my wife had enough pictures in them. Later that day I got notifications saying they approved my case and will mail the card. Two days later, status changed to that card has been mailed.

My 2 cents to anyone going in for the interview. Just be truthful and be calm. If your marriage and love is true, it wont be difficult for the officer to see it. Good luck to everyone who is waiting!!!!

PS: I never received my EAD or Advanced parole card
