EB-2 NIW self-sponsored - Philadelphia, PA
Hi everyone,
Here is our experience if it can help anyone.
Filed I-140 based on NIW on February 2018. Received notice for additionnal evidence in early July 2018, filed by end of August 2018, approved mid-September 2018.
Filed I-485/I-765 and I-131 Late October 2018.
Biometrics November 2018 - Status never changed from case was received until interview was scheduled mid-June 2019.
Received EAD/AP mid-May 2019.
Received courtesy letter for medical exam late May 2019, 2 weeks later interview was scheduled
Interview on 7/25/29 in Philadelphia.
IO was very cold and straightfoward, she made new photocopies of tons of paper including all passport, birth and wedding certificate, ask for 6 month of bank statement which she allowed us to send her via email from online app since didn't take all of them with me (I had one from February and took one from 2016 thinking that at least it shows that it was recently that my husband and I are leaving together), ask for all my diplomas (good thing I had them with me just in case as it wasn't listed on neither my lawyer or the letter for appointment).
Our lawyer had told us 3 days before that we had to make sure to ask to have our case processed before August 1st since there were no more visa available starting 8/1 and that we then should wait until October before hearing anything.
So we asked and we couldn't have a straight answer, just that the interview was over and that is it!
So really not a smooth and easy interview day, very stressful and now we are just back to square zero to wait and see and check the website 15 times a day ...
Good luck to everyone else!
