I've posted maybe twice on this forum but as of yesterday I am now a permanent resident. Waiting on my GC. Here is my timeline and info for everyone. Don't loose hope guys.

Have had DACA since 2014 and have been able to renew it 3 times. Fixed EWI through AP in January 2017. Super scary as Trump had just taken office but had to risk it. Bought a house with my boyfriend of 7 years at the time April 2017. We were married January 2018.

-Filed I-130 & I-485 in April 4, 2018
-Biometrics April 26, 2018
-Interview ready to be scheduled May 2, 2018
-Received EAD through AOS August 27, 2018
-Interview scheduled April 30, 2019 for 6/4/19
-Interview June 4, 2019. Approved on spot.

Interview lasted around 10-15 mins. IO was super nice and very friendly. Asked me the basic info of name, dob, name of parents, yes or no questions from I485 then asked the same of my same sex spouse. Then she asked for my medical, had not done it since at the time of filing it was only good for one year. She said that checked out then we were asked how we met and we both started to answer. My husband said sorry and nodded for me to answer and the IO said "no worries, I love it". I assume she means she loves it when couples get excited and start talking over each other. I told her how we met and our first two dates then she asked if we had any additional evidence. We handed her updates bills and records of things we already had along with pictures. She said she didn't need the updated ones just the pictures and next thing I know she says she is approving it and prints out an approval notice for us and one for our lawyer. I couldn't believe it and as we walked out of the building I just started crying. The entire drive over to get some lunch with my husband I just laughed and cried. Mixed emotions and it felt like everything I've always wanted was finally here. My husband was so happy for me. Yesterday the 5th all of my receipts changed to approved and the good old "On June 4, 2019, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number XXXXXX, and will mail it to the address you gave us".

For evidence we submitted
-House deed
-Mortgage bill
-Joint checking account
-Joint credit card accounts (2)
-Facebook posts
-HOA bill
-Property taxes bill
-School taxes bill
-Water bill
-Retirement accounts that show each other as beneficiaries
-Life insurance that show each other as beneficiaries
-Income tax returns and W2's, plus Income tax transcripts
-Pictures plus copies of airlines tickets from trips and hotel reservations
-Marriage license, birth certificates, etc.

Seems like overkill but it got us a quick and on the spot approval.

Hello Everyone,
I am proudly to say that I am officially a permanent resident. It has been a long journey, I arrived in the US when I was 1 ½ and now I am in my thirties. Proud DACA recipient for six years (shout out to OBAMA). I want to tell everyone to be safe, patient, and enjoy life documented or undocumented at the end life moves forward. I had prepared for the worst and prayed for the best and learned a lot from this journey. I am graduating this Fall with my B.S in Business management and got a promotion last week, so the key is to make sure to keep moving forward. My dad was deported 7 years ago and so glad I am finally able to visit him. Patience and wisdom are the key to dealing with this process. This website has helped me, and I know it helps others, so I am here to share my stories. Lawyer did everything for me I applied for i-765, i-485, and i-130. Timeline goes
05/06/2018 PD
05/20/2018 Biometrics letter
06/07/2018 Biometrics *please make sure to check barcodes for all the applications
09/28/2018 EAD received
03/22/2019 interview letter
04/21/2019 Interview *Interview experience in previous post
This is where being patient and being positive is the key to survive the wait. During my interview at the end my biometrics where not there and had to redo them. Later on, I checked, and i-485 barcode was not there. I-130 in case status was approved on 04/24/2019.
05/05/2019 Redo Biometrics
05/31/2019 Card produced
06/06/2019 Card in hand
I recommend signing up for text messages alerts rather than checking case status a million times a day. This will help the anxiety trust me. I waited for the post office lady since I had received tracking number via case status. I popped my Don Perignon and even offered the post office lady some lol. Anyways now next step citizenship. I believe it yet. Also immihelp i-485 experience website is good to follow up with others.

Guys, on I-485.
72b on page 13.
Since April 1, 1977 have you been unlawfully present in the United States ?
Question 72b for one year or more and then departed the United States?

My answer would be “no” correct? I departed the USA with AP through daca

Congrats! long journey like mine! I could not believe it was real when I got it. Decades of wait for us now over! Why was he deported? So I am assuming he will file to USCIS to re-consider him in 3 years?
