Received notification interview was scheduled (never received it sent to my old address)
Had to call Uscis to get the interview information and was emailed a copy
Interview Day: June 17 2019! Federal Plaza

So my interview lasted about 30 minutes , she basically asked my husband most of the questions
Example: what’s my mothers name , Father and brothers names
How we met , where did we get engaged , when we decided to get married and how we met each other !

She was very nice to my surprise I was expecting someone mean and straight to the point but she was very sweet and jolly my husband was even cracking jokes here and there !
So she barely asked me anything , mostly questions like : where does your husband works ? Where did he earn his masters degree, what’s his occupation, what’s his salary and which field does he specialize in
We have a 5 year old daughter together as well.

Evidence we took to support our case
Bank statements
Photographs time lining our relationship over the years ( added my daughters birth as well and other important occasions)
Well all the Utilities bills are in my name when we moved in to our new apartment idk why I even did that it was kinda dumb but his name is on the lease , medical insurance, car insurance, car note and both our State ID’s share the same address!
 
So after the interview she handed me a white paper saying she needs more time to review our case and we will receive a decision via mail / you will receive a decision by 120 days! Let me tell you I left federal plaza feeling so sad because I was clueless to what this meant ! Then reading online some people have been waiting months to even get a response! So I told my self god is in charge and I’m not gonna stress anymore !

On Saturday June 22 2019 my status updated online! New card being Produced! Amen!
June 24 I received in the mail Approval letters for I-130 and I-485.

I’m so thankful and this form has been so informative and supportive!
To the folks still waiting I know it’s frustrating but keep the faith! Patience is key! Not worrying about it so much kept me sane I found other things to occupy my time !

 Any questions feel free to ask !
