Waiting I 485
My timeline:
- June 2014: married
- November 2014 filed all document ( G325 A, I130, I485 and I765)
- December 2014: Biometric (fingerprinting)
- Feb 16th and 17th 2015: Received EAD and got I130 approval notice
- Waiting for interview

My question is how long do I have to wait for green card interview? I checked online every day and it shows message: “On February 2, 2015, we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC1590236702. Our National Benefits Center office will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you. You should receive a decision or case update by April 3, 2015, unless fingerprinting or an interview are needed”
Please share with me what is your experience to wait I485 approval! Highly appreciated

waiting for I-485
I came here as a student (F1). Parents were already a Permanent Resident. Parents applied for Change of status after I came under the catagory, "Permanent Residents filing for an unmarried son/daughter above 21".

Here is my timeline.

10/23/2007 -> Applied I-130
10/29/2007-> Received confirmation. Was informed to wait for priority date to become current and then file for adjustment of status (I-485).

After 7 years of wait FINALLY priority date became current.

10/15/2014 -> Applied for I-485 (Change of status), I-765 (Work authorization) and I-131 (Advanced Parole). Also submitted medical reports.

10/21/2014 -> Received conformation that they received all the docs.

10/24/2014 -> Received confirmation that they received the fingerprint fee.

11/03/2014 -> Received appointment for Biometrics (fingerprint).

11/19/2014 -> Went and gave my fingerprint.

01/05/2015 -> New card (I-765) was ordered.

01/06/2015 -> I-131 was approved.

01/10/2015 -> Received I-765

01/13/2015 -> Received I-131

My question is, how long do you think I have to wait before I get a confirmation that my I-485 is approved? Will I have to appear for interview? Any information will be highly appreciated.

Alsmost a year now
Hi!
I came to USA with my wife in 2012, she is american citizen, we decided to get married and we did in March 2013, we did not have the money to file the documents so we saved money while I worked freelance online doing gigs, so after a year when we collected the money we filed the documents with an attorneys help, in March 15 2014, we submitted all the requested documents and did all the bio-metrics.

In July 15 we had the interview, where the officer requested more evidence of our marriage, we had a deadline of 3 months, so we collected everything, even bills of restaurants, flowers, every single picture we had, all the bank statements from the last 5 years, all the letters from all the friends, and we sent it by 10 of September 2014.

We haven't hear anything back, we submitted an inquiry a month ago, but they say that they still don't know how longer will it take. So today I am worried, I have my work permit, but most of the excuses say when they interview me is "Can you call us back when you get your Greencard?", also, my grandfather died last September, and I could not travel back to say good bye.

Anybody here knows what I could do? can I request other interview or if my lawyer should do something?

Positive I-485 experience to share
I wanted to share my experience applying for the I-485 for my husband. I am a US citizen and he was born in Europe. We have been together for almost 2 years now. Here is the timeline we experienced:

February 2014 - Married
June 2014 - Filed all documents to include (I-130, I-485, G325A, and I-765); we also included medical affidavit, shot records, passport photos, birth certificates, and any other relevant documents from his country and to prove my birth in the United States. I waited to send the affidavit of support until USCIS asked for it as my employer had not yet documented my raise in payment at the time we sent out the application.
July 2014 - We received an appointment for biometrics (fingerprinting) and I also received a letter to provide financial documentation (as we had already anticipated). I quickly mailed several pay stubs and most recent tax return and also printed their requirements for support and highlighted the portion where my income matched what was required,
August 2014 - My husband was fingerprinted at USCIS office, and about a week later received his Employment Authorization Card.
October 2014 - We received a notice that our interview would be conducted in the beginning of December 2014.
December 2014 - We arrived to the interview only to learn that it was canceled as the investigator had not received our file yet.
December 2014 - A new interview date was scheduled for the end of January 2015.
January 2015 - We received another notice for a different interview date at the end of January 2015.
January 26 - Interview conducted
January 28 - USCIS updated case status online to "approved"
January 30 - We received a letter for him that is I485 and I130 was approved and "welcome to the US"
February 2 - Permanent Resident Card received in the mail.

Interview: The interview itself was about 15 to 20 minutes. I think that had to do with how prepared I was with documentation and pictures. The investigator did not seem to be in a very good mood and did not ask many questions at all. She asked when we met, and asked us questions for the G325A that my husband and I filled out in the initial application. She asked for my husband's paystubs at which point I also offered all other supporting documents which included: tax return that we filed together, about 30 pictures from the past 2 years, our car title showing that we are both co-owners, auto insurance, life insurance, lease, rental receipts with both our names from the past year. After she quickly reviewed the documents she kept about 5 pictures and all of the documents that I provided as proof. Then she escorted us to the door. Our appointment was at 9am and we were in the car and heading home by 9:20am.

Hope this helps everyone.

Would love some input!!!
Wanted some input on experience dealing with USCIS on Adjustment of Status interview

Thing is I got arrested back in 2013 my senior year in college for Domestic Violence( female roommate was pissed about me not wanting a relationship) but all the charges were dropped against me.

Anyway, I meet my wife initially in the fall of 2011 through her cousin and at the time we were only friends. The relationship didn't turn romantic until the summer of 2013 after all the BS that happen to me ended, I ended up moving in with her and her parents and then we later got married April 2014, filed with USCIS in May and I've supplied them with all the necessary documents, fingerprints, medical and including a copy of my arrest report and she also has 3 boys. I then got a job offer in a different state at the end of July 2014 which i took, few weeks after that uscis sent out a letter for our interview in Aug, which i called for it to be reschedule due to me not being able to make it and my wife kids had a doctors appointment.

Two months later they sent a letter of rejection stating that i neglected to attend my interview, so then I got a lawyer to look at my case and she was able to reopen my case due to an error on there part. My lawyer also requested for the case to be moved from Cincinnati to Phoenix.

USCIS granted the change in venue also with a change in address since I was in Phoenix now, Funny thing is after they did this they sent a letter to my old address stating that I have an interview in Cincinnati the following week...

So going into the interview I presented the following documents:

1 Dental Insurance for the family
2 Life Insurance my wife as beneficary
3 Health Insurance for the whole family
4 Utility bill both names on it
5 W2( stating being married)
6 Arrest report (sent this in with my I-485) apparently it wasn't notarized which i see now was my dumb mistake
7 Bank statements (4months worth) and bank letter when it was open
8 Ticket stubs from back and forth (past 4 months)
9 Marriage Certificate (sent this in with my I-485)
10 Daycare letter stating i was a guardian of my wife youngest where I can pick him up from school
11 Letter from a college friend stating that he knew me and my wife (sent this in with my I-485)
12 Offer letter from the company that I currently work at
13 My last two pay stubs

The interview I think couldn't of gone any better, but the problem is the arrest report I submitted wasn't notarized so due to that the USCIS officer told me to get a new one and get it notarized which means my interview was incomplete, but the letter that she give me only stated that I needed to bring that in. Which I did in like an hour and brought it back in.......

So my question due you think that will hinder me in anyway???
