October 2019 Filers

[sohi429]

Hi everybody! So last week my husband and I received a letter from our local field office. They want us to mail them the evidence we were going to show at the interview...

This is an interesting and welcome development. It seems like they might be trying to push through some of the workload by asking for the documentation for certain I-485 cases.

Anyone else got any similar letter?

Hi everybody! So last week my husband and I received a letter from our local field office. They want us to mail them the evidence we were going to show at the interview. We had everything ready (because they cancelled us the day before). This is what we have:
exhibit 1: proof of relationship
- marriage certificate
- text messages between 2018 and 2020
- Emails between me and his mom talking about wedding preparations.
- three affidavits of relationship: two written by his friends and one by my mom
- vet bill
- car and health insurance.
- Amazon account

Exhibit two: proof of financial comingling
- 2019 tax returns
- joint bank account statements
- me as an authorized user on his account

Exhibit three: proof of cohabitation
- Lease with both our names
- a note by the landlord stating he pays our utilities
- photocopy of random mail coming to the house

54 photos total. Some of our every day life and some of our wedding. What worries me is that we don't have many pictures with family and friends other than those at the wedding. Oh well...

Any suggestions as to what we are sending?

Congratulations!!!! What a relief!

We received the same update tonight: Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview” hallelujah! I know how you feel bc my husband and I are SO relieved. It was painful waiting for 4 months to know if the RFIE response was acceptable. So glad you guys got your update! Now we can all relax a bit this weekend. Wishing the best for all of our fellow October filers still awaiting some news.

Thank you so much, our i485 hasn't moved since December 10th " Rfie response recieved" until just now, just less than an hour ago it changed to "ready to be scheduled for an interview" which is great news!! I was really worried our response to rfie wasn't enough! I really hope we get lucky and it gets waived for us! Our lawyer mentioned that cases like us interviews are being waived and approved so lets hope it's the case for us. Wishing you the best of luck as well! Hopefully yours next!

What's the current status of your 485? Are you at Case is Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview yet? Ours has not been updated since the RFIE response was received back in December. Given that you and your spouse have already interviewed, you may see a waiver as other threads have mentioned where applicants have also previously interviewed for the I-130. However, I wouldn't be surprised if you receive notice to interview again given the complexity of your case. Honestly, it's anyone's guess at this point. Hang in there! Like us, you have been married a long time and should have nothing to worry about. I wish you all the best and hope that we both hear something soon!!

Was wondering if anyone is in the same boat or similar? I just got an approved work permit &travel authorization, an rfie was issued and responded to back in december 2019 for i485. I had a visa overstay and a deportation case which q was closed and that allowed me to file for AOS. I do have am approved I-130 (marriage to usc) back in 2016 and was called for an Interview then. My question is, will I be asked for an interview again or can it be waived? Since me & my spouse went for an i130 interview and have been married for almost 6 years.

Hi guys,

I had my interview and received my greencard only 3-5 days before they cancelled all the interviews but still I'm not happy because it's really hard to find a job.. and situation is getting worse everyday so I feel like harder times are waiting for us

Congrats! Even during COVID companies are hiring it just depends on what your looking for/ pay etc. Keep positive you will find something! Be blessed

Hi everybody! So after my interview got cancelled, my status changed to "interview ready to be scheduled". Today it went back to "interview cancelled". Do you know what this means? I read about interviews being waived, but I don't want to get my expectations too high.

WOW you are very lucky;
it’s from your office that I’m being reading about approval without interview, hopefully you hear about it very soon!
