No. 

Just an updated I864 if your financial situation has changed.

Okay. October 3rd 2018 AOS filer here. Got RFIE sometime in October for what i know i included at first,

Was your RFE about tax returns? Myself and several other October filers had the same RFE, and we know for certain we included tax returns in the packaged

 

Anyways, I think USCIS lost the paperwork but it's good to see that you, myself, and others are back on schedule even after the RFE.

Just had our interview today here in Chicago. We were called in ~15 mins after our scheduled time slot. It was interesting that in the beginning, he said, "Well, it looks like we should do the I-130 checks at the same time as the I-485." Thought that was the whole point for an AOS based on marriage... 

 

Otherwise, it was pretty straightforward. He asked us questions like how did we meet/start dating, who proposed/how did we get married, etc. He also took copies of proof of bona fide marriage like our joint 2018 tax return, joint offer for a house/mortgage, combined insurance and bank/phone accounts. Also looked through our photos and even took one that was from post-application submission.

 

At the end is said our case would go through final checks but that things looked good. Hopefully that means the official approval will come through quickly from here!

Just had my Green Card interview. He asked questions about our relationship. When we met, how we met, how often we saw each other over the last five years since we’ve been together, details on who would travel to who, etc. He asked all the yes/no questions from the application. Asked if I had anything else I wanted to give him. I gave him proof of joint car insurance/medical insurance, and some photos of our civil ceremony. He said he will keep our file for “further review” and if we don’t get an update on the USCIS site within 120 days, we can submit an inquiry. He said he would be surprised if it took half that time for an update. The interview took about 30 minutes. He was friendly, and we laughed and had light conversation with him. Wish I got an approval on the spot like some people, but we weren’t lucky. Now back to obsessively checking the site again. At least the interview is over with. I’m so tired of waiting and more waiting. One could seriously go into a depression during this process. So we’ll see how long it takes me to get my Green Card now.

My status has now changed to “Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed.” I am severely disappointed. I had my hopes up that the interview meant I would get my Green Card soon, but it looks like more waiting. It’s absolutely insane that they think it’s normal to put people through this. I’ve lost all hope.
