Positive Quantiferon TB test
Hi
Has anybody had a positive Quantiferon(IGRA) test and subsequent Chest X-ray indicating negative results? It would be really helpful if you can share your experience on the overall impact it has on the AOS interview?
Thanks in advance!

Miami fillers
Any Miami fillers already with interview? I have filled I-485 on July 5th and no eAD and no AP either in National Benefits Center.
Or other people with interviews if filled around May/June/July? How long should i expect the notice to come? 12 months or more?
Just wanted to know if the peocessing times on the website are a bit off and actually interviews are coming faster.
Thanks!

EB2 ROW
I had my interview on 11/28/2018 and then the IO said hat she would approve my case later the same day, but I have not heard anything since then. As soon as I enter the room and take the oath, IO said she would not be able to approve my case on the spot as she was having an issue in her computer. A technician came in while I was being interviewed and suggested he would fix the computer at the end of the day.
Interview was then started with basic verification of the info from I-485, YES/No questions.
The only documents she was were passport, combo card and birth certificate.
I was asked to bring supplement J form in the interview notice. It was not submitted at the start because of concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485. She did not even ask for that during the interview.
At the end of the interview, she said all is well and she would approve my case as soon as her computer is fixed.
However I got a weird update on 11/30 night that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview as of 11/23.
Has anyone else here have the same experience?

07/28/2018 Fingerprint review completed(Fingerprint appointment was waived. I guess its because I went for H1B stamping just a few months ago and I heard USCIS don't call for fingerprint if they had recently taken it)

EB2 experience
Just got 485 approval notice and the status changed to "Card was mailed" on Nov 30.
I had GC interview in NY few days ago. I did not get on-spot approval which made me very anxious for the past few days. Right after the interview, I kept checking the status on the app, literally every few minutes till midnight. I had to take sleeping pills because of my anxiety worsened.
The waiting is taxing. At some point I was wondering why I need to go through all the process.
I spent a huge portion of my life fighting for this identity, I paid sh*t tons of tax to the country and made contribution to my company and the society, yet the process seemed so hostile to me.
Anyway, I feel relieved after seeing the notice, and hopefully can completely end the journey soon by receiving the card. I feel thankful, for all the help along the way - the information I got here and there, consultation from people. I would like to share my experience and hopefully could help more people.
PD - 2018 Jan
Premium file 140 & 485 - July
140 Approved - August
Finger prints - August
EAD AP Card - September
Interview Scheduled - October
Interview November
485 Approved End of Novemver
To prepare the interview, I went all the length forl the documents. The followings are the most important ones:
1. Birth Certificates ( translation and notary)
2. Diploma and transcripts - B.A, M.A ( translation and notary if necessary)
3. All the USCIS documents - I20, CPT, OPT, etc
4. Employ Letter and latest paid checks
5. Passports and travel history
6. Tax transcripts from IRS, W2s
7. Medical exam (make sure its not expired, if you are not sure. Do it again)
I printed out I-140 and 485 application materials, copies of the above documents, and organized them into four folders - one for originals, one for copies ( in the same order of the originals folder), one for I-140, one for 485. I went through all the documents at least 10 times, so I could pull out relavent documents immediately if asked. My lawyer who accompanied me was impressed by how organized I was.
The process is full of uncertainty, the only thing we have control on is preparing the interview materials. Better safe than sorry. Get all the documents even if they are just 1% relevant. Whenever I received a notice from USCIS, I scanned it and store in cloud storage immediately. Everything could happen and you need to be prepared. The interviewers might be nice and forgiving but don't rely on it.
At the interview, be confident that you can bring value to the country and worth the PR.
After the interview, distract yourself from it and wait patiently.
May GC be with you!
