North Carolina: EB2: Interview done (I-485)
This forum has been really helpful during my journey...Here is my experience.
EB2 (Emp. based: Advanced degree).
My country is Current.
Residence: North Carolina
Service center: TSC (texas)
PD: 06/30/2017
LC approved and green light to file I-140: 10/06/2017
Concurrent filing: 01/12/2018 (if I had opted for filing I-485 myself, I could have had app go out of the door much faster, but the sponsoring company's lawyer, filed based on his availability
Receipt received dated: 01/22/2018
EAD+AP combo received: 04/02/2018
Case transferred to NBC: 04/26/2018
Biometrics done: 05/09/2018
Medicals notice (I didn't submit I693 with my I-485): 05/18/2018
Case transferred to Local office: 08/10/2018
Interview notice received: 10/12/2018
Interview done: 11/15/2018
How interview went:
Interview scheduled at 1:40 pm EST (6130 Tyvola). Arrived 1:10 pm. Went thru security and got ticket and set (all 10 min)...You will need government issued ID and Interview notice to get to this point.
Brought interpreter for my wife as Interview notice mentioned "If you don't speak English, bring YOUR interpreter"...Some states may offer their own interpreter, so please check you letter and your field office...Also, make sure to follow the rules about interpreter.
Immigration officer (IO) called our number at 2:20pm, IO got details of Interpreter. Oathed to tell only truth. Interview started: 2:30pm:
1) Confirm your DOB and ....basically all from I_485.
2) IO asked recent Employment letter (make sure it is recent), Paystubs for last 2-3 months (copies fine, as IO only needs copies)
3) Went thru I-485 (drug, trafficking, ....) one by one
4) IO did entries into system, looked thru quickly whole application (her copy): about 15 min
5) IO said no issues with my application and we should receive cards in 2-3 wks.
6) I was surprised she didn't ask Medicals (which I brought in sealed envelop), so I offered that to her.
7) She thanked and we thanked. Left the building at 3:10 pm
Note1:
Unless you have complicated situation, you do NOT need a lawyer at the interview (1st, they are very expensive (about 2 500 USD to attend) and 2nd they can't anwer for you, basically they can't do almost anything).
Note2: I understand this journey is very frustrating, full of tensions and anxiety but at the end of the day, you can't do anyting but wait, so please don't let this thing spoil your mood or change you in any way...Act as if you would not care outcome.
Would be happy to address your questions (if any)...Sorry about thing long post. Good luck!
