Hi Fam!!!

 

So I just had my I485 interview this morning at NYC Federal Plaza and went by myself. It wasn’t that bad but it left me puzzled!

 

The interview itself only took 5-10 mins but the waiting time was 1 hour. 
 

The lady officer was nice and very professional.

Here are all the questions she asked me:

 

1. Do you have your passport? (I gave her my recent passport but she was looking for my old one when I first entered the US, didn’t have it with me, so I apologized for not bringing it)

 

2. Where is your husband?

3. When was the last time you saw him?

4. What are your old addresses together?

5. How long did you live in your address? (I might have messed this up because i can’t remember honestly since it was in 2017, but i gave her dates, just not sure if it was right) 

 

 

6. What was his old address?

7. What’s his mom’s name?

8. How did u meet?

9. Do you have any more proof that your marriage is legitimate? ( I said no more but I brought our marriage cert, she said it’s okay she has a copy)

 

10. What’s your current marital status? (Still married but i showed her my divorce papers that I just filed and it’s still on process ) 

 

11. Do you have your medical? (Handed her my medical) 

 

12. When was your last entry in the US? (Answered her and she asked if I have my recent I94)
 

She then proceed to the Yes and No questions. 

 

The only documents she asked from me was my passport, state ID, medical and I94. I thought she was going to ask for my old EAD/AP cards but she didn’t even ask for it then she told me that this interview is over and handed me Notice of Interview Results and if there’s anything they would mail me for updates. And That’s how my interview went. She didn’t say if it was approved or not. 
 

Was I supposed to bring more proof of bonafide marriage? I wasn’t even prepared for that.  
 

What should I expect next?

Is it possible for them to schedule me for another interview or RFE since I didn’t bring my old passport and more proof of bonafide marriage?

UPDATE!!!!


GC is coming!!! I have no words but thank you, thank you, thank you for this forum and for all the wonderful people who are here to help!!!! Thank you @sandranj!!!! Thank you @TBoneTX @FeDaniela @Stillwinning!!!😊 And to all other members who helped me in my journey. I can’t mention you all but a big thanks from the bottom of my heart!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just an update, vj family: I got my C31 card last week, after USCIS mailed to my lawyer who then mailed to me. C31 card production update was on 11/1/21. I had submitted C9 ead renewal in Feb 2020, for which I sent expedite request a couple days before I got the c31 card production update on the i360. USCIS denied my C9 renewal expedite request yesterday, as I expected, since I already got my C31 EAD. Thanks to the group for educating and tolerating me through the years. 

 

Question: Do they still issue C9 EAD after C31 approval, or will they eventually deny the C9 EAD renewal? 

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

Usually they will deny that.

Hello guys. Congratulations to everyone who got an approval!! God is great. 
 I have a question, so I usually get a prima facia before the one I have gets expired even without asking for it. This time my 4th prima facia is expired without me getting a new 1. Should I be worried, ask my lawyer to send them an email or letter? 
I’m May 2019 and still waiting

 No RFE or anything.

No cause for alarm, if they didn’t send it automatically, you prompt them by requesting it.  Please go ahead and ask your lawyer to request it.👍

Hey guys, how di you guys check case status and updates? Is it an app? Does it send you email notifications for when they send you mail on your case? I just received my prima facie and wondering how i can be able to see all these updates or get them before hand without having to go to USCIS website and manually put in my case number. Thanks
