just the standard questions from the i485 form. what i do for living and my marital status. as for extra documents, the IO just asked me for my driver's license and passport to make a copy. that was pretty much the whole interview.

They asked every single Yes/No questions from I-485? because the new version has lots of those questions. Do you just give the name of company and job title? They needed the Passport to stamp it because you were going to travel or just to make copies?

yeah yes / no from i-485. they may not ask all but why would it matter. i'm self employed so that's what i told the io. just to make a copy of the passport. i think you only get the passport stamped to confirm your i-485 is approved and you can use that to travel until you get your gc, but why would one risk it. gc comes within 2-3 weeks.

Did they ask you why you answered it YES/NO?

 

I thought they only stamp your passport if you are approved on spot and travelling outside of USA?

Thanks. My lawyer is preparing me well. He is also a family guy too.
