Hello, I have mostly been a silent reader on here and a lot of you guys responses helped me throughout my process; which by God's grace has ended with my green card. I am posting my case to help others that are in similar situation to mine.
PD: 10/12/17
I-485 filing date: 4/3/18.. filed a little late due to some minor set backs from my part.
EAD in hand: 5/17/18
Notice for interview: 7/19/18
Interview: 8/23/18 in Houston- waited about 1 hr 30 mins to have my name called, was frustrated but thankful. Interviewer was nice, asked me for my name, DOB, country of birth, birth certificate, dates of the last time I left and entered the US, where I currently work, last few pay stubs, then we went over the very long YES/NO questions. I was sent a courtesy letter to bring 2 passport photographs with me; I had it but out of nervousness completely forgot about it. I was really worried about this and he never asked for it. He went over every single page on both my international passports. At the end he said everything went well, but visa was in retrogression and my case had to be transferred.
Side note: I was not working for the company that was filing for me at the time of the interview. I was still working in school. I also thought that might be a problem, but it wasn't. I am also about to be done with my masters (in May 2019) which will put me a level above the job I was being filed for. I was really nervous about being asked about this, but he didn't.
My status never changed from "Interview was scheduled" even after the interview- I called immigration and they told me that there was nothing that could be done giving timeline for Houston was about 10-24 months. Not helpful at all.
10/23/18: exactly 2 months after my interview: "Interview was canceled". I was shocked, spoke to my attorney, who said I shouldn't worry. I also saw some people from this forum saying the same.
10/24/18: "Card being produced"
10/25/18: "Card mailed"
10/29/18: Card in hand
Just can't thank God enough as my case has been a miracle all along. And for others out there waiting, just trust God and keep your faith/prayers and your miracle will happen. Thank you all so much.
