(assuming normal/automatic after biometrics completed. 

 

Yes this is normal  Glad you got them both done in one shot!

[TMMT 13]

Hopefully in the same boat as you @apnzz with the same day appointment.

 

I submitted the I-765 online and got the receipt same day, waiting for the biometric appointment to pop up next, hopefully I can move them to same day as you did.

 

The I-485 appt is scheduled for July 7 👍

 

PS - does anyone know if the I-131 together with the I-485 since it was concurrent filing? As far as it goes for the biometrics and what not for that?

Your biometrics appointment should cover all concurrently filed applications

M did her biometric today, we moved up her appointments from July 7 to June 30.

 

Had 2 appointments like @apnzz (1 hour between), lady checking documents said that is okay, they would do both at the same time.

 

Few people in line - USCIS El Monte, CA

Interview is tomorrow morning, we're prepared and hoping for the best. What is appropriate attire for these, business casual? I doubt we wanna be wearing too formally or too casually.

Business casual - Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Case status is marked approved! Less than 2 months from receipt date, we are so happy and still in disbelief how lucky we got... Just in time before 4th of July too, how fitting lol.

 

Our interview was yesterday, we went on a nice long stroll in the city afterwards since the weather was nice, I recommend doing that for anyone coming in for their interviews from the 'burbs. Stop by a bar for some beers to celebrate too 😁

 

Appt was at 9:45 AM at Chicago FO, there weren't many people ahead of us, maybe like 3-4 people were called until it was our turn, I'd say we waited like 10-15 minutes, which is much faster than I expected. The interviewer was a nice young lady, glad we didn't get a grumpy one. We were sworn in and asked to produce our IDs and passports (I had both and my wife only had her foreign passport, interviewer said that was OK), the interview notice, and the certified marriage certificate (which we were given back.) We also mentioned that we got an updated medical since the overseas was missing some vaccines so the sealed envelope was opened and scanned in. Those were the only documents we had to provide physically, the rest was uploaded online (of course, we still brought physical copies to the interview just in case).

 

The interviewer said that since we already did a K1 interview we won't have to go through bona-fide marriage evidence stuff, and just asked us how and when we met. Then we moved on to the I-485 review, asking the standard Qs, like were you in any orgs, are you a terrorist, etc. The only one of note was that my wife was denied a tourist visa (it was just a standard denial) so she was asked the details on that and it was updated to include the reason, and the update was signed by my wife. We did mark it as "yes" on the application, but the system wants details at the interview apparently. We were also asked who the joint sponsor was. And that was it I think, we were told that the case was approved, that we'd get the GC within a month, and mentioned the removal of conditions process. My wife asked some questions (I don't remember what her Qs were exactly) but interestingly I remember the interviewer checked and responded that the case was not being held for review (we were not given the sheet either) and that we can expect an approval status that day or the next day.

And that was it, interview lasted like 20 minutes maybe. So we were in an out within 30 or 40 minutes. The craziest thing was that when we were escorted out by the interview, she asked if I had a sister (I do) and that she used to work with my sister somewhere many years ago, small world! 😂

You may never receive EAD/AP and get GC after interview. Good luck!
