Hi Dana985. I thought Texas was processing time was faster than California. Most of the California applicants here have either been scheduled/Awaiting Interview and have already received their Combo Card. My status for my I-485 is "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview". I am moving to Texas by the end of the month, I'm afraid my application will also slow down. :-(

Hi garygnu,

My application is employment-based. Your application should not be slow down since it's married-based, you have higher priority. Don't worry, your interview will happen soon.

Hi,

According to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/, it could happen next month. ????

I applied the same day as you and also in Texas.

OMG I got my notice after I finished my interview the mailing is so ridiculous and the mail was so beat up too...you'll need to talk to Emma then Live Agent to reschedule

Congrats man. What did they asked.

The officer asked me first about what kind of visa was I on before AOS and I said F1 then I got nervous and said I was still on F1 then he said but I would be studying if I was still on F-1 visa so I said no then I wasn't (as I was on STEM OPT so I was working while on the visa for two years). (got a bit scared there) but it went okay; then he asked me and my husband how and when we first met and where we met and it got more relaxing from there...then he asked us have we lived together if so what is the address and if we have talked to each other's parents, if not why. Then he asked to see any documents that we have showing shared finances and shared addresses such as lease agreements and bank statements. After that he asked a list of yes and no questions from the I-485 form. He also asked what common interests we share that bring us together. We just told him what we think that are closest to what he was asking.

He did somehow asked me couple times what my father's profession is and the background of my father's profession which puzzles me a bit (why my father? my father's back in mainland China.) Lastly he asked to see any photos we have together but he did return the texts documentations that I prepared. And at the end he said he'll be right back then when he came back he stamped a piece of paper and told us it's approved and what are the next steps since mine is conditional...I was completely surprised that that was it. But I did bring a 14lb ginormous accordion folder with all the organized documents and the officer said it's the biggest aos folder he has ever seen!

My appointment was 7:15 am yesterday but the line outside was long (Los Angeles location) and most of us didn't get in till 7:30 but we didn't wait that long in the waiting room once we got in. So be forewarned to arrive 30mins earlier than your appointment time might not be a bad idea since you'll be in line for sometime. We arrived 2 minutes past appt time and I thought I was screwed but luckily they're behind schedule so most of us were waiting past scheduled time slot.
