Adjustment of Status - I-485

Anyone applicants from NYC who filed i485 in July 2017 received their interview date yet? Idk if the new York office is moving slow or what

Hi,

I wanted to give an update on our timeline. We just received our I797 notince for approval of our I-485. We had our interview on 24th Oct 2017. Online status changed on 26th Oct 2017 and received I797 notice in our mail today. I have posted earlier on 24th Oct 2017 a detailed interview experience. Also, the category is F26, which I think is a 10 year GC. So we are very relieved right now. Again, I wish everybody all the luck in their journey.

Anyone from Utah with an interview date? Just want to have an idea of what PD they are processing.

Good Morning everyone!

I have been a silent reader for some time and now that our journey is coming to an end, I would like to share our experience with you guys.

09/20/2017- Interview Notice for 10/24/2017 @1:00 pm

We arrived 30 minutes prior to our interview time. Five minutes later we were called back. As we were entering the meeting room, he asked who the young lady was with us. I explained that even though I am fluent in English/Spanish, our lawyer said to bring an interpreter for my husband in case we get separated. The officer laughed and said "oh you wont need her but she can come in anyway". We had our 16 month daughter with us. We sat down and he took my husband picture. He started off by asking if our daughter was my husbands (our daughter has my eye color (blue) and skin tone (pale white). I laughed and said of course. He went over our forms with us, the yes no questions. He asked if I was still employed at my current job and I provided him with last two paycheck stubs.
He asked how we met, who asked who to marry and where we married. He asked if we had a big wedding, and I said no, we actually just decided one day to go get married. He asked what evidence I had to prove our marriage was real, and I handed him the following
All three leases we have had in our names
Bank Accounts Checking and Savings
Life insurance policies
Renters insurance
EZ pass account
Netflix and HULU accounts

He just glanced at them and said nicely organized. I told him he could keep them all, as they were copies.

I had an album full of pictures. He went through them and randomly asked who people were.

Finally he looked at both of us and said I am going to recommend you guys for approval and gave my husband the recommendation for approval letter.

10/26/2017- Your case has been approved for both I485 and I130.

Now we are just awaiting his GC.

We wanted to share our experience on this forum

For privacy reasons, will not list specific dates or specific locations of interview, but this was in the state of Ohio.

- PD December 12th 2016, I485 and I130 concurrent filing for marriage-based green card application
- Biometrics Jan 2017
- EAD received March 2017
- Tried InfoPass and SR inquiry in July and August 2017, no responses to both [officer at InfoPass was not very helpful, so I wouldn't recommend this unless you truly are desperate to "do something", not very useful in my opinion, he just told us to keep waiting, was sort of a waste of time]
- September 2017 - Finally received response from USCIS NBC to our online SR inquiry made in July (yes, it took 2-3 months), stating for us to keep waiting (due to delays unrelated to our case...etc.)
- October 2017 - received interview notice, finally, 3-week notice
- End of October 2017 - We had our interview at our field office. The interview took about 20 minutes. We had to recite an oath to say the truth and we were both recorded throughout the entire interview. Questions revolved around how we met, personal biographic information about each other, who was at the wedding, etc. details about our living situation, and our relationship. We were told right at the interview location that we would be recommended for approval and to check online for USCIS case status changes. The IO was very quick and efficient.
- 3 days later, we saw our online status change to "Case was approved."
- 5 days later, received official I797s of approval in the mail for each application
Currently awaiting to receive green card, was told it would take an additional 3 weeks.

Total length of journey = 11 months

Thanks to this forum for your help along the way.
It has been a really long journey, although I know others have had longer journeys with more obstacles and are still waiting for their good news...Bless you all
Good luck to everyone on this forum....

Good morning guys, so as I posted before I’ll have my interview on November 28th Hialeah field office.

After I collect all documents to prove that our marriage is real what other documents do we have to bring with us?

Thanks to all!

My PD is January 17th

Guys im losing all my hope. Im actually even maybe getting depressed because of this process. I do not know what to do. I have a spotless background same as my husband except speeding tickets. We've been married 3 years and have 2 kids.
I filed i485 in june 2016. Fingerprints in july 2016. Ready to be scheduled for interview since August 15 2016. I have raised multiple service requests, i have had senator in texas raise a request and also done multiple infopass. Still i am not getting very clear answers why i have not gotten an interview. Everytime i feel they give me a different answer. I just filed for work permit Aug 2017 because although i didnt need it before, now my drivers license is expiring in dec and i need it to renew my DL. The work permit still has not come either. Please help i dont know what to do anymore. Has anyone else been thru this?
