Congrats! 15 months 27 days from PD till interview date. That?s a long time. Shoot for an approval on the spot. Many have found this thread useful in preparing their evidence of bona fide marriage for their initial AOS filing and the interview.

Thank you very much!!
The only concern I have is the medical exam. I sent my medical exam with my paper work 9/12/2017. Should I get another medical exam?

If you filed for AOS within 60 days of completion of the I-693, then it's valid for 2 years. I would probably still get a flu shot and show proof of that.

Has anybody done concurrent filing in Houston, TX, in September 2017? what are your timelines?
So far the only movement has been for EAD(s), one received (and almost ended, second one pending) but nothing as far as interviews. Should I be worried?

I have a question, can I organize my documents for the interview in a 3 ring binder? Or should I use an accordion file folder?

Entirely up to you. This thread has a list of resources that many have found very helpful to prepare their evidence of bona fide marriage for their initial AOS filing and subsequent interview. https://www.immihelp.com/forum/showt...313#post585313

Interview experience!

Hey everyone!!

Update: We had our interview on 01/07/2018 early morning at the Phoenix, AZ center. I was excited but nervous because we have been waiting so long for this moment. The officer who interviewed us was very friendly.
He asked me basic questions:
Last entry date/location
Current address
When we first started dating and how long we had been married for.
He asked for recent bills, tax information.
He did ask if I had sent in the medical exam with my application. I told him yes but I did have a new medial exam.
He notified me that medical exams are good for two years. But a lot of people are not aware of that.
I had taken pictures of our wedding/trips/ family photos, he reviewed them after he had already approved us.
Interview was a breeze I cannot believe it's already over lol

I created a binder with all my receipts/applications/ correspondence from USCIS.
I also took my accordion binder with all our bills/taxs/ any documentation with both of out names on it.
The officer recommended that every 3 months we add current information to our binders so when we need to apply to remove conditions we are prepared and don't have to back track two years.

Some advice go over all the documents a couple of days before to ensure you have all documents.
Good luck to everyone who has up coming interviews or are waiting to be scheduled.
I know it is frustrating at times to wait so long but the wait is worth it.
