Hi,

Sorry it's been a hectic week.

We arrived for our 9am interview at 8:20am as we figured we'd need extra time to get through security. We needn't have bothered as we were the only one's going through at that time. We signed in and waited for my name to be called.

8:55am we were called and my husband and I followed our interviewer into his office. He asked me my husbands full name and DOB and then he asked my husband the same thing. Then he asked us how we met, where we spent our vacations and if we had any other additional evidence to prove our relationship. I gave him our cell phone bills for the last 6 months, copies of a photo album, and pages of text messages, cell phone calls and messenger (which he barely glanced at). He also asked us random questions from the application like if I'd ever been denied entrance to the US (I said no).

After that he started telling us that we needed to submit to remove the conditions 90 days before expiration, to keep collecting further evidence of an ongoing relationship and to be expecting mail from USCIS. My husband and I were a little confused as we'd only been in the room for about 10 minutes. So I asked him "what kind of mail?" and he said "your green card". He finished hole punching everything, we thanked him and walked out. 15 minutes max. It wasn't until we were waiting by the elevator to leave that my husband looked at me and said "so what does that mean?". It was rather adorable the look on his face when I told him we did it.

USCIS sent me text updates that day to say that my card was being produced that day. It was sent out Friday and arrived this morning (Monday 15th July) along with my social security card.

BayAreaCaliAOS Have you heard anything about the SF FO? I’m hoping the interviews are flowing along.. I submitted my EAD/AP renewal about a month after you... hope you get your date soon as I feel like I’m a few months after you...

[BayAreaCaliAOS]

Hi!
well it says case was received. So I guess I’ll just wait for another 3-5 months now. How about yours?

Well my attorney said some of her March filer clients has been getting their interview dates. So I really hope I get mine soon though. In regards with my combo card, so far I only got the case was received notification.
Any update on yours?

Did he say if its was family-based AOS clients?

I got the receipt notices in the mail but no updates since then... patiently waiting and hoping that it takes the same amount of time it took for my first EAD/AP card, which was around 3 1/2 months. Fingers crossed! It’s good to see that the inquiry date for AOS at the SF office seems to be advancing. I don’t know how much that means, and if it means anything at all, but hoping it moves sooner than later. I’m hoping to get my interview date around November/December at the soonest...

[BayAreaCaliAOS]

Good question. She didn’t say anything.
But I really hope it’s family based clients. I just want this to be over with. If not, I hope I get the interview on our 2nd anniversary to get the 10year gc.
