Hello, long-time lurker, here. I want to post my story and hopefully get some positive vibes about the next step in my immigration path.

EWI at 4 y/o
Married USC, filed I-130 in 2011 but didn't complete the AOS because of obvious reasons.
DACA eligible and recipient in 2013
DACA renewal granted 2015 and 2017.
Applied for Advance Parole the day after Trump won the election. (I shoulda done it sooner.)
AP granted 7/24/2017
Traveled to visit my grandma in Mexico, returned 8/13/17 (trip of a lifetime, can't wait to go back)
Filed AOS 9/24/17
Just received RECEIPT NOTICE dated 10/6/17

I'm not that worried about the interview, my husband and I have been together 14 years so I have no doubt we can prove our relationship is real. What I'm really worried about is how long it's going to take. I don't want it to take so long that I have to do another medical exam etc. My receipt notice had the MO address. Does anyone know if that affects the processing time? I've read some really fast times, I really hope that's me! I'm hoping that having that previous I-130 on file will help speed things up, I didn't have to re-file it when we did the I-485. BTW, I went through the International Rescue Committee, an accredited legal assistance organization and I can't say enough how much I love their services. Sure, it's not an attorney and they sometimes take forever to get back to me but they waved their filing fee so all I paid was the USCIS fees and did it all with the peace of mind that all the paperwork was being filled out correctly.

I can't believe I actually submitted an application for green card. It's like a dream.
