Case Approved
Cases are approved
After submitting all the forms they need to adjust my status (visitor to permanent resident) on Oct 2, 2020, I waited for 1 year and 12 days to finally get my green card. I had the green card interview on Oct 5, 2021. I got my combo (EAD+advance parole) about a couple of weeks before the interview. It’s pretty much useless when I got it cuz they didn’t send me the Social Security Card that I asked for when I filled out the form I-765. After going to the interview on Oct 5, my green card has arrived in the mailbox on Oct 12, 2021.
Interview Questions
She asked me why I changed my name?
Also asked some of the questions from I-485 for eligibility.
Asked for the originals of my name change dox.
She asked my husband about himself of where he was born, his birthday, name etc. (You read it right, she asked my husband about himself, not me.)
And ask to see if we have anymore proof of relationship. I got about 20 more pics since I submitted my case (mostly me, my husband and his family.)
Rental agreement, tax return, plane tickets from the past.
I had 2 big bags of cards we gave each other (she didn’t bother to read them. lol).
Since my husband and I have been married for 4 years, (and we were abroad until Covid hit, that’s the reason I still can’t go home and had to adjust my status) I will automatically get a 10 year green card.
The end.

marriage based petition approved, Washington DC FO
Our priority date was in December 2020 out of National Benefits Center. Interview was October 4th, we were told our case needed to be reviewed before decision could be made. Interviewer was very tough on my husband, but eased up about mid-way through the interview and was quite friendly towards the end. Card being produced as of yesterday!

EAD Finally Approved (NBC)
Finally moved to ‘Card is being produced’. How long did it take everyone to get the physical card from this point. I also find it strange my travel authorization case is still in received, no movement at all. I thought they were supposed to come on a combined card. Has anyone else experienced this? Did they come together on one card, or were they issued separately? ty!

Marriage based GC approved
Glory to God! Got my marriage based GC approved on the spot. The lady was very kind and pleasant. Once I realized her generous nature, it helped me ease my tension off a bit and answer with smiles and some laughter.
I was nervous like hell (never been so nervous for any occasion in my ENTIRE LIFE, and understandably so).. for this life changing day.
Interview went pretty easy- questions asked- how did you guys meet, where was your first date, what attracted you both to each other, asked both of how we interact/ get along with each others' families, do we have a fur baby, how did I spend the last one year at home without a job (since I didn't get the EAD at all, and was out of my previous H1B Visa), what work do I plan to do/ continue once I get the GC.
We had a lot of bonafide documents after we got married. She didn't look at any during the interview. She said she will review a little bit after we leave and approve two years GC (since we've been married for less than two years). She also explained the process to file for I-751 and then citizenship. That is when I realized/felt like I am getting approved on the spot.
By the time we were leaving, she was cracking jokes and so were we. It almost felt surreal (especially after all crazy thoughts, since I didn't get the EAD at all).
Also, when our lawyer said that I am unemployed, since I didn't get the EAD, she seemed surprised and said:"NBC is backed up a lot". That gave me some reassurance that I-485 and I-765 processing may be slightly unrelated and independent of each other (if not completely). I know that people are freaking out due to delays in I-765 (I had gone 100% bonkers crazy).. worrying if that means something is wrong in the application. But it seems otherwise. (Hoping that this feedback helps some people appease their worry).
Please feel free to ask any questions. I will be happy to share all I can.
May God bless us all, after the patience and worries that we go through for this process.
