Employment Based Greencard

1 John 5:14-15 New Living Translation (NLT)
14 And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. 15 And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

Hello All,

I would like to first of all thank and Praise Jesus Christ for granting us our Green Card.
We have been waiting for 11 years and finally, God granted our request in His time. Praise God!

Our Field office was Hartford Field office.

I thought Hartford field office was a slow field office and was planning to move to another state where the timings are fast.
But God's plan was even better. He gave me interview in Hartford field office itself.

Interview Experience (Employment Based)
--------------------

Me, wife and son came to the office around 9:25 AM. 9:30 was the interview.
Very nervous. Went to the reception and gave the appointment letters. After some time, the receptionist called again for taking the photos.
He mispronounced my last name. Went there and gave the driving license and he took the photo. After that took my wife's photo.
Came back to the waiting area and sat.

Few minutes went by. Son wanted to play with our wedding rings. I took the rings from him and he started crying.
Lo and Behold! An officer is standing in front of us and he was looking playfully at my son.
I initially thought, the officer came there to scold me as my son was crying.

In fact, that was our IO!

He didn't call our names. He had our photographs and he came to find us in the waiting room..
He escorted us to his office.
We were still nervous.
The IO understood that and told that he know that we have a small child and he will try to make it short and sweet as possible.
IO also told that children under 14 are not required to attend the interview.
We wanted to point out some corrections. He noted them down.
He asked the basic questions in I 485 to both of us.
Then asked how long I have been working with the Company and my salary.
He then verified whether a visa number is available. He said it is available and told that he is approving the case right away!!!!
IO occasionally cracked some jokes to make us feel comfortable.
And praise God, we got the plastic cards in mail after about 5 days.

Only 1 minor problem happened:
The correction which we pointed out for my wife didnt actually get corrected in the Plastic Card. So, we have submitted an I 90 for replacing the card for my wife.

Other than that, everything went very smooth and God has granted us our prayer requests. Thank you Jesus!
I also want to thank this forum and its members for providing valuable information for the entire process.

 

Hi guys, I have been quiet for a wide. Today I got a message through the App about my I-485 case. It is now on the table. Maybe it is not too much but it means a lot to me.
ROW - C09 - EB 3
PD: Nov. 2017 (I-140)
RD: Oct. 2018 (I-131, I-485, I-765) @ NBC
Fingerprints done on Nov. 2018

The message says they have sent me a request for initial evidence. Let's wait until I get the letter to know what evidence they need. I haven't taken my medical examination yet.

Hi Guys,
Both my I-140, I-131, and I-765 were approved several months ago and I was still waiting for the I-485 to be processed (it was filed in June 2018).
Yesterday, after a long period of silent, I noticed that there was a change in the 'Last Update' date for the I-485 receipt, but no real change in status (when I click to see more details).
Did you guy have similar experience and you know what it means?

Thanks!

Hi All,
How long does it take to receive green card after your status change to new card is being produce.

Thanks in Advance.

Anyone pl. share their experiences in this boat.

Hi Guys, I had infopass appointment today in Houston FO. I had EB3 ROW interview on 27th Nov 2018 and status is case must be reviewed.

Feedback from Infopass officer:"Everything looks good and no red flag, no check, its just that officer need to do additional review and usually it takes 60-90 days. Let me check notes on your case, yes everything looks good no alarm, I promise you are good,.. so far."

Officer was very nice.

What you guys think. Is it default feedback or positive or negative or anything you guys want to share or same experience?

By the way they are ending infopass from 18th of Feb 2019.

Your interview for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, was completed, and your case must be reviewed. We will mail you a notice if we make a decision or take further action.
