Fresno Field Office Interview and Process from a Dreamer
Hi everyone, I'm really happy this waiting journey has come to a happy ending and I want to share my process timeline and interview in case it helps any of you. I'm a DACA recipient based in San Jose, CA. I had EAD and used AP to travel abroad in 2017 so I didn't submit any application for those forms, I only submitted i-485 and i-130 forms. I'm married to a US Citizen. Here is the process:
11/08/19 Application i-485 and i-130 sent to Chicago Lockbox
11/12/19 USCIS received application
11/25/19 Received Biometrics notice for 12/10/19
12/05/19 Biometrics done early as walk in
12/06/19 Case status changed to biometrics taken
01/30/20 Case status changed to case ready to be scheduled for an interview
01/31/20 Case status changed to Interview was scheduled
02/07/20 Received interview notice on mail for March 6th
03/06/20 Interview at Fresno Field Office(I'll explain why in Fresno)
03/06/20 Case status changed to Card being produced 1 hour after interview
03/09/20 Case status changed to We approved your i-485 and i-130
03/13/20 Received GC on mail!
*My field office was San Jose CA but the interview part was done at Fresno Field Office to speed up the process because San Jose is receiving a high amount of applications. We had no issue driving to Fresno.
Interview:
We got there 30 min early and we waited to be called in by an officer. Officer called my wife and I and made us take the oath. We sat down and he asked me for my birthdate, where was I born, when did I first come to the USA, when was my last entry and to provide proof of AP for legal entry so I gave him my AP and flight tickets from 2017. He then asked my wife how we met and when, who attended our wedding and that's it. He proceeded to ask for proof of marriage documents and we gave him the following with both of our names:
Joint Bank account
2019 Taxes
PG&E bill
Water Service bill
Credit card statement
Costco membership
Amazon Prime membership
Honeymoon hotel reservation with dates
About 30-40 pictures of which he only took 6 of his choice
Interview took 10-15 minutes
Overall my process took almost exactly 4 months! Hope my experience helps others. Good luck!
