2nd interview for I485
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone's been to a second interview and what their experiences have been?
A bit of background to my case:
I'm spouse of a USC - me and my wife have been married for 3.5 years (we married abroad). We have an American born baby going 2.5 years.
We had our interview for I485 last year in October, we thought it all went well as the officer said he felt that our marriage was genuine and all looked good except he needed to verify that my divorce from my first wife was in order.
Few months later, In January received an RFE for more info on my divorce (it was issued from back home - not an American court). I, however, didn't have anymore supporting docs than those that we submitted. And since their RFE, my initial EAD expired, but I applied for the extension and received it for another year in April.
I'm wondering which of you guys have been called in for a second interview, and what to expect. My field office is Montgomery, Alabama.
Thanks in advance!

CONFUSED
Hi, I had my interview on Tuesday.My status for i-485 changed to "New Card is Being Produced" on the same day but my i-130 still says "Interview was Completed and Case Under Review".It has been 2 days and it is still the same.What does that mean? Anyone have any opinion about what is going on?

Canceled interview
Hi All,
Brooklyn filer with PD 06/27/2017.
I called USCIS yesterday just to get an update. However today as I login to the USCIS website, I received a notice saying that my interview was canceled on September 26th.
Has anyone experienced this before?
I called again just now and was put through to a supervisor. She couldn't really give me any information into why this had happened. She's putting a request into the field office to figure out what's going on. Apparently there was a slight issue with my address, but even then, no interview had been scheduled as of yesterday!

Interview experience
Hello so i had my interview on September 24 on monday at the elpaso tx immigration office after waiting for about 30 minutes the io called me and my wife to the office and sworn us in and later told me to go out outside ans started questioning my wife and she was very rude i came in with an f-1 visa and i was out of status for like 2 years so the IO started telling my wife that i only married her due to the fact that i wanted papers and I don’t love her and she also told me the same and she said she will forward the case to the fraud department which I don’t care about cause i know that’s not true cause i love my wife she kept all the documents we brought she even asked for my ssn card at some point but gave it back and she gave me a paper that says our i485 cannot be completed at the moment and she said i have to fill out form i601 that i commited fraud by not going to the school i told the embassy i was going to when i was applying for visa. What do you guys think i can do right now cause me and my wife are both confused

I-485 based on marriage - Interracial couple
Hi all,
Does any interracial couple have had the interview?.
Although our marriage is bona fide, I've read this could rise a red-flag during the interview. Also We are having some problems to get the evidence because my wife has house benefit (section 8) and she can't add me to the lease neither to the electric bill so, i'm really concern about this.
I really appreciate any advice.
Thank u.
