I-485 interview experience at Fort Smith AR
Hi All,
I have been a silent follower of this forum and this forum really helped me a lot while preparing for the interview
Following is my timeline:
Employment based: EB1C
Country: India
Priority date: January 2010 and is current
02/28/2019: Applied I-485/I-765
03/30/2019: Finger printing
08/12/2019: Received EAD for me and my spouse
08/21/2019: RFE issued for my kid's I-485 never got the copy in the email, finally called L2 officer and got a soft copy of the RFE.
09/03/2019: Ready to be scheduled for interview for all 3 of us
09/24/2019: Interview scheduled for 10/31/2019 at Fort Smith AR
10/31/2019: Appeared for interview
Interview was scheduled in the first slot at 8 am, we reached the office at 7.30 am but the doors were only opened 10 minutes before.
Went through airport style security and waited in the interview area
Officer called us in at 8.15 am
Administered us the oath
Asked to sign the attorney waiver sheet
Went over the personal details for me first and then my wife like our name, when we arrived, parents name, which was last port of entry.
Asked me employment specific questions like if I am still working for the same employer who filed my I-140
Handed over EVL and last 3 months pay stubs
He made corrections to our addresses since we had moved since we filed
There were some minor corrections on my wife's and kid's form
Asked us around 20-25 of the yes/no questions
Took our signature for the changes that we made
All through the interview there was lot of casual talk
In the end the officer said there is no issue with our case and he will approve the case in the evening, also added that his management asks him to tell applicants GC receive timeline of 6-8 weeks but from the experience other lawyers who come to his office and his clients they have received within 1-4 week so he said the timeline is 1-8 weeks.
My case is not yet updated and it still says interview scheduled, there is no update like interview completed or needs additional review
Is it normal for the status to not change after the interview?
And now the wait begins to get the actual GC in hand.
