green card mailed
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share my experience of getting the marriage based green card (H1b to GC, married to American citizen) during COVID times. I submitted application on the 15th of September, 2020 and my status changed to "card is mailed" for I485 today on May7th 2021. The process went smoothly. I gave my biometrics on January 2021 and our interview was scheduled for May3rd 2021 (San Antonio, Texas). The officer was very friendly. Of all things, my spouse got our marriage date wrong lol because she was pretty nervous. But the officer was chilled and made her feel at ease. We submitted a lot of documents, so he took his time to go through them and asked pretty basic questions about DOB, address and our relationship with each other and our in laws since I am from India. It lasted around an hour. He did not stamp my passport immediately but the online status changed on the day of "new card is being produced", so it was pretty quick. My advice is submit as many relationship evidence docs as you can and bring copies of everything to the interview. He could not find one or two documents in the original application (because it was a pile). But when I immediately produced a copy, he thanked me and was impressed. Does not hurt to make his job easier. Especially, if you applied for the case and you know where all the documents are (if your attorney did make sure you know the type of documents, it helps sometimes). Hope my experience answers some of your questions and helps you. Good luck to everyone!
