I must say I am pretty disheartened. We still do not have any answer on ours. I really hope everything will be fine.

Dorothy - keep your chin up. You will get it soon. I agree with Gaps that for some people is faster.

ftsoh- I just got an update last night that the card was mailed to me.

Hello Dorothyguenther
If you recall receiving a "notice of interview results" after the immigration officer has gone through all the paperwork and questions during your interview? There is that little paragraph there that reads: please allow for no less than 120 days before making a status inquiry in your case - that presumably indicates they have about 120 days to return to us for news - never mind that some we read about other's getting approved on the spot or having a change in status days after their interview, our paperwork just seems to be going through the normal bureaucratic motions of the immigration process.
Let's keep each other posted.
Cheers

B_Andie thank you, sorry, quick question and you may have posted this somewhere here, between your interview and the change of your application status to card in production, how many days was that?

I had interview on W and found out of the card in production in F early AM. On Sat AM it changed from card in production to case approved for both i485 and i130.

Big congrats. We still have not heard anything back. Makes me a little nervous. Happy to see everything is going well for everyone. Hoping to hear back on ours soon.

Dorothyguenther we just finished our interview this morning and like you we didnt get approved on the spot like what we read about in some posts hereabouts, BUT, the last parting words we got from the immigration officer is that we had more documents than he expected ftsoh you were right!
So our interview was pretty cookie cutter as expected:
Logged in 5 mins before our schedule, it was raining and boy that parking lot is a bit of walk from the building.
Got called a little bit over half an hour past the interview schedule in the NOA
Our immigration officer was a gentleman with a really positive aura about him, quiet nice but not too nice, my husband thought he was pretty stern and straightforward
We started with identification documents
Then a review of the I-485 with the IO asking the questions from the form, checking answers, asking alternately between me and my husband.
Hubby forgot my middle name and totally blacked on my parents' names, but I thought it didnt matter.
There were roughly 10-11 updates on my I-485 information that was noted by the IO and he said we were doing fine.
Then a litany of Yes and No answer questions which I had to just coast through as this was pretty standard.
Afterwards it was a free wheeling conversation about our relationship history while the IO typed in his computer like a stenographer would in court.
Then finally it was a review of additional documents so I took out the big gun filer folders and gave the IO the sheet of the Table of Contents to tell us which documents he wants to see.
He asked for petitioner's copy of birth certificate and copy of passport, and cherry picked on our evidences of relationship, taking a page here and there, so he basically took a bank statement (latest one), a copy of our joint car insurance, a copy of the latest one of each of our utility bills statements (PSE, Seattle Light, Water District), a scan printout of our joint memberships with AARP, Costco, and joint credit cards with Citibank and Alaska Air, we also scanned magazines and publications we have joint subcriptions to, he skipped our joint life insurance, our DPOA for Finance, Healthcare, and Health Directives, but finally took the latest billing statement of our T-mobile family plan.
Then the immigration officer proceeded to do the standard spiel issuing us that letter about having completed the interview. I was so relieved we were done with this that I didnt hear the details of other information he was conveying about the timeline when we are to expect to hear about the AOS status, and the issuance of the GC, and when we should be calling in if we didnt hear from them at a certain point.
What I heard though is his parting words that goes like: I dont see any reason why you shouldn't be getting your GC but your file needs to be reviewed by another person, your documents are more than what other gay couples come around with, and you have presented more than I could reasonably expect. You will definitely hear from us soon.
We said our goodbyes and was promptly escorted out.
That's my story today, and I hope it helps those who are still waiting to go into their GC interviews.

I think you had prepared more documents than I do. Just make sure you do not miss anything in the interview letter and you should be good. They only asked two things from us (latest tax return and supporting documents to proof our relationship). They did not ask for anything that we submitted in the I-485 application. However, your interviewer may ask for more documents, so who knows? Good luck to you!

By the way, I received email last night stating the card is being produced.

Big congrats. We still have not heard anything back. Makes me a little nervous. Happy to see everything is going well for everyone. Hoping to hear back on ours soon.

[gaps0214]

Thanks.
I am sure you will be fine. Like my lawyer said, you know your relationship is genuine. Just be truthful when you answer the questions. It is ok to say you forget or don't know if it is the truth.

ftsoh thank you very much for the tip, its now close to about 12 hours before our schedule and we just finalized the document review, hubby says we are looking good with 5 binders worth of paper evidence to bring in the interview, he seems impressed with the organization of it all, and he says it takes a lot to impress him (which sounded like music to my ears ) he's such a sweet guy, anyways, will definitely be back in the forum tomorrow, no matter how it turns out, but of course we are looking forward to get a favorable review.
Cheers.

We hope our Monday turns out just like yours. Have a great weekend!
