从面试到拿到批准信共历时约 8 个月。但从其他人经验看，从 50 天到 2-3 年都有，所以还算运气。

面试 :
面谈前要完成体检，填好表格，买 money order( 最好按不同申请表买不同数额的 ).
DORA 要求先通过以下网址预约面试时， https://infopass.uscis.gov/info_en.php
一般会约在 10 天以后，打印好 预约面试单，带齐所有文件比预订时间提前 30 分钟到达指定的当地移民局。
7:15am 窗口交齐所有申请文件和费用 , 等候约 2 小时，一个美国老太叫我们名字， 宣试我们所说的一切都是真话后，他拿出我的 FILE ，开始问很简单的几个问题，几乎都是对着表核对名字，时间，地点等，表都是自己填的，事情都是经历过的，所以不用想就对答如流。然后要我们的三年报税表，各自的离婚文件，结婚证，我的离婚证是中文的，所以要求我面试后尽快找翻译并公证后再把材料交到该处（一星期后找的当地提供翻译并能做公正的人完成，老公又去一趟递交补充材料）。准备的照片等都没要。整个过程约 15 分钟吧，告诉说面谈通过 , 让我们回去等打指纹通知 .
GREENCARD PACKAGE :
所有申请表格都可以从 USCIS 网站下载 , 仔细阅读填写说明后按个人情况如实填写 , 懂英语的都完全可以自己填 .
Document lists:
I-130 ($190) Petition for Alien Relative
I-485 ($325) Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
I-765 ($180), Application for Employment Authorization
I-693 (about $200), Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status (My medical exam)
G325A ($0), Biographic Information ( My hubby's biographics, My biographics)
I864 ($0), Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act (My hubby's financial addidavit; proving that he has enough financial backings to sponsor me and he is above the poverty guideline)
fingerprint ($70)
就这么麻烦又简单。不管有没有绿卡，生活在继续 . 等待时要耐心，材料递上去就忘记它，照样每天开心生活 , 惊喜会在任何时候降临 !
在这里多谢所有分享经验的人们。也希望我的经验对大家有帮助。
也祝这里等绿卡的 xdjm 一切顺利，早日过关。
