1. This thread was started by Mr.Diaz., who got approved 5 minutes after leaving the interview. DACA recipient. Marriage based AOS. Raleigh, NC field office.
General tips from test driving the route to the field office to a primer on Table of contents.

Your job vs. the ISO's job.
*Edit 07-11-18, just a few days ago, helpmylife informed the forum that the 10 year green card had been approved.
There is a lot to learn from helpmylife?s experience. Like I told him, it would all be fine, and it?s all fine now, but after having been in his shoes, I strongly recommend not leaving anything to chance.

Thread by chicago1978. Case is pending as of 05/13/18. I expect a positive outcome here. This is a true marriage. Hands down. *Short engagement.
5. Thread by jzgr24. Approval on the spot. Marriage based AOS. B1/B2 visa. Interview scheduled promptly. Cleveland, OH., field office. Jzgr24 has impressive organization skills. Realized they had more evidence than they thought and put it all together in a matter of days. Insane.
You can find the Table of Contents I used as a guide. *Must see.
6. Thread by Herewecome & spouse. Approved on the spot. Amazing job with their Table of contents. They nailed this interview with an industrial grade nail gun. That's the best I can put it.
7. Oklahoma city Filer. Approved on the spot. Great advice provided.
8. Thread by Tezza. Approved on the spot. This case is remarkable because their interview was scheduled within 2 to 3 months. Tezza did not have a lease, and presented several notarized affidavits of residence to prove that they lived with his wife?s parents. He also presented an Advanced health care directive. I highly recommend this document. USCIS takes it very seriously. Bottom line is that they maximized the evidence they had available. They focused on evidence dating back to when they first met until the adjustment of status interview. (It?s sort of the way you would present evidence for a k-1 visa)

There is great advice here. Make it easy for the Immigration Services Officer to approve you. There is no such thing as overpreparing.Leave a comment:

Another option is to copy the posts you like the most, paste into word docs, and save it on your computer. I personally have been doing this to save a few "best" and recommended interview examples that list what documents to take, what questions were asked, etc.Originally posted by Roxilili View PostLeave a comment:

Questions about DS-160
Did anyone get asked about anything on the DS-160 form they filled when coming to the US during the AOS interview?Leave a comment:

Approved same day as interview
Hi everyone,
I just had my interview on 6/21 at the Chicago Field Office and got approved soon after the interview.
My PD date is 3/27. I'm adjusting from F-1 OPT to marriage-based Green Card.
The interview went really well and the officer who interviewed us also went through the same process when he got married. He told us not to be stressed. He confirmed some document including my birth certificate, my spouse's birth certificate, my passport and my visa pages and my current address. He asked the YES/NO questions in the form I-485. After that, he asked us for our supporting documents. I brought our joint checking account statements, gift receipts that we bought from each other, evidence of our M***aukee trip, phone calls history, messages (I chose messages from when we first started dating until now), letters and a handmade card that I made for my husband. The officer then asked how did we meet, what was the wedding like, who attended and if we have any plan to visit my family soon. There was a weird moment when the officer found out my spouse and I we don't live together (we're moving to NYC soon and we don't want to start a new lease and then eventually have to break it) but our phone history showed we talked every single day and we told him we come over to each other places regularly. He then informed me about how to remove the conditions on the GC and let me know that he will approve it by end of the day. The entire interview took 15 minutes.
I didn't ask for the stamp on my passport since I already got my EAD and continue working. I expedited it a month ago. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to ask any questions!Leave a comment:
