phillyfiler13 i think it was a good / quick interview. No wait time at all. No personal questions beside each other’s name / DOB/ wedding day. Most difficult: all addresses of the last 5 years. We lived all over the world so we could not remember all (was not a big deal)
if you traveled during the process, print a new i94.

bring as much evidence as makes you feel comfortable. Our interviewer kept only a couple of pictures, newly signed lease and health insurance (showing husband and kids are using my insurance), Facebook status changed to married page, car insurance.

good luck!!!

I had my interview in Portland, OR on Sept. 4th and have had I-130 approved but the I-485 hasn't been approved and it's saying "Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed". My attorney sent a letter last week asking what's going on but I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello I'm asking a question in regards of my in laws who also filed in April. Is having health insurance required now for new green card holders? Thank you.

Hi everyone!! Here is my last update......
We had our interview two weeks ago and even though the officer said she was sending us a RFE on a tax document and told us that that would be a great time to include more proof of bonafide evidence (she said this like 3 times.... ), apparently they changed their minds cos our case was approved a couple of days ago and card is in the mail!!

Here is our timeline:

- applied with my US citizen husband: I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131
- application sent April 19th, 2019
- money withdrawn from credit card April 29th, 2019
- received I-797 April 30th, 2019
- then nothing for a long time, no biometrics. Called USCIS 4 times and finally talked to Tier 2 officer.
- notice for biometrics appointment received September 1st, 2019 ---> but specifically for I-765, not I-485
- biometrics for I-765 completed on September 9th, 2019
- EAD card processed and mailed within 1½week
- new biometrics appointment noticed received September 20th for I-485
- biometrics for I-485 completed on September 30th, 2019
- around October 3rd status changed to 'ready for interview'
- October 8th, 2019 status changed to 'interview scheduled'
- October 14th, 2019 noticed received with interview date ----------> November 12th, 2019!

Hello everyone,

I had my interview yesterday (Chicago) and was approved! I was not told I was approved right away but got the update an hour later.
I am an F1 student (still studying, not on OPT) and my wife is a stay at home mom. We brought evidence of everything although we had provided more than enough evidence when he sent our case. We were only asked to show birth certificates, passports and certificate of marriage license.
I was asked my name, address, what do I do, the yes/no part of the i-485 and that was it. My wife was asked when did our relationship start, how did we meet, and to provide a basic history of the relationship. It lasted 15 minutes at most. At the end of it we were asked if we wanted to add any evidence and I provided some more photos and affidavits which the officer did not look at or read, he just placed them in the folder. The officer was very nice overall.

I am now waiting to receive the card on the mail!
