Case Approved
Tampa FO Approved on the Spot 🎉
Firstly, all praises and thanks go to God 🙏🏾❤️ My wife and I had our interview today at the Tampa FO and it went really well! We were called in about an hour after our appointment time. She went through the questions on Forms I-130 with my wife and I-485 with me. She then asked to see an original of my wife’s birth certificate, an original of my birth certificate, and our original marriage certificate. I was an F-1 student and she asked for a copy of my degree as she wanted something to show that I finished the degree which I somehow forgot at home 😭 but I showed her my I-20 with my OPT EAD and she took that. So if you came here on F-1 it might be good to take a copy of your degree with you! Other than that she asked for a copy of our lease. We gave her both the current and the renewal but she only kept the current. Then she handed me some pictures from our wedding that we had sent in our packet and asked me to write the names of the people in those pictures and who they were on the pictures. She then approved us! She didn’t ask any of the how we met or dating questions or anything like that, however, we did meet on Tinder and had sent a copy of our Tinder conversation with our original packet so I’m not sure if that was why she didn’t ask. We also sent loads of evidence and brought with us LOADS of evidence that we never even touched. She was stern, but very nice. The case status changed to ‘new card being produced’ before we even got to the car. All in all it was a great experience! Stay calm, go with God (or whoever you believe in), and just know that is all going to be well. Good luck to all of you!

I485 approved!
I485 approved today, awaiting arrival of the card!! Keep the faith that cases are being approved and do not give up!
My l1b visa ran out in June 2021 and Ive been on unpaid leave since, supporting 3 dependents. Expedited 4 times, none of which were approved. Our i765 and I-131 petitions were never approved - Uscis is pushing through greencards rather than provide EADs under AOS it seems.
While I never got an expedite approved, I do think it helped with our case as I noticed the biometrics and medical rfes were requested shortly after we were denied an expedite.
Good luck all!

k1 ; AOE I 485 approved 💫
2 days ago I had my IV for green card in Harlingen, Tx. The officer was very professional and kind, btw she did not check a single document, but my passport and my husband’s ID. Although we brought a full folder with files of documents, copies and originals including proofs and tax transcripts, receipts, bills, photos etc. She asked me when we met and how many years ago, and also she read the list of criminal questions, I gave her yes/no answers from the form. that’s all. She approved after few minutes. So happy that the whole process of AOS took 59 days!!
Wish y’all luck #k1fianceevisa #aos #greencard #texas

Hi guys,
The AP just got approved a little bit ago. The EAD was approved yesterday a couple of hours after the expedite request approval. I’ll update when we receive the actual combo card.
What a relief!!! No more work stoppage for hubby. God is good.
Thanks again for your support and advices. I’m praying for you all who are waiting to get that type of relief soon.
Now the fight is on for the I-485 approval 🔥

I-485 approved!!
Interview was yesterday and very straightforward. The officer did not ask a single marriage related question. Just said the evidence submitted is very strong and I approve. He did ask the Yes/No questions of the i-485. But literally 0 other questions. Still waiting for my green card. Hopefully get it soon!
Also did not get my EAD or AP.
Good luck to you all!!

SSN and my Experience
Hello guys ,
Pls I am sharing this information in case there are people that are still waiting for their SSN after receiving their EAD card and they are yet to receive them.,
I called SSA National number and they helped me with my local SSA based on my ZIP code provided to them since they don’t handle such request . I called in order to make enquiry if my SSN application was on their queue based on I-485 filled to allow USCIS to process my SSN. Hiwever, the agent booked an appointment for me to come with my documents- EAD cards / BC / foreign PP and DL with a filled application form which could be downloaded online .
I got there today based on the appointment I had , she checked her system to confirm if USCIS sent a request of such, however , there was no sch request. from them to treat , meaning that if I have waited in anticipation that my SSN card will arrive , it might take longer time than necessary.and I asked her why was it so she replied that at times USCIS did it at their own convenient time .
Hence, my advice is that if you are still waiting for your SSN , pls call them , book appointment and go with your documentation and you will be fined as I did my own this morning and I was told to be expecting it latest 2 weeks time .
May we all experience favour of God and no more delay in all our documentation in Jesus Christ name. , I pray 🙏. Amen
Thanks
