Woop woop! It's our moment, guys 😂😭

Ours updated today too! Card is being produced! I got the text while I was working and almost bounced out the door I was so excited. 

Obtaining a letter from your current employer should work since it's technically an offer to (continue) work. Sending along a doctor's report might help solidify the fact that a loss income would greatly affect your household.
 
I have no experience with this so I suggest waiting for other advices as well. Good luck!

Strong ties??  It seems more like no ties...I think your chances are slim......but it's your money..........It is possible the CO might think your father is sending you off to find a life in US.
 
What information are you planning to withhold during interview?

We had our interview yesterday at 10:20 in Yakima Wa. We got in at 10:25 and were out of the interview at 10:40. All questions were from the I485 and a few security questions. My husband was requested to tell about our relationship and was asked where was I born, she asked me the same about him. Asked if we fight and if we have additional evidence- we vave her insurance cards Last pay stubs and mobile phone invoices. I was shaking and had a complete blackout, forgot to give her the car insurance and affidavits we collected.. 
At the end she signed us on a paper for the I751 and she told us the she needs to review the case by the end of the day and that we will get informed as soon as the system gets refreshed. Still got nothing.
 
My advice to you- try not to be nervous, I really don't know what came over me but it was awful 😣 and it couldn't have helped the situation..

Hi guys,
I had my interview today scheduled at 1:00 pm. We arrived there around 12:40pm. the parking was really bad and we had to walk a little to get to the building. We waited for couple of minutes. We were called around 1:35 pm, finished around 1:40ish. 😁
First set of questions are just all about basic questions in the new I-485 Parts 1-5 then Part 8 😊 Mine was an old form so first part of I-485 and G325A. Some questions asked were :
• How do you like Ohio?
• Who's living with you?
• Who attended on your wedding?
Then after, she asked if I want to give other evidence that I want to include so I just gave her pictures. She kept the family picture (with our dog, she asked what's the name of our dog haha), wedding pictures, picture of me and my husband's family, a picture of me and my husband taken in Hawaii then a pic taken in Ohio. ❤️ She didn't ask my husband anything at all. 😂😂
She said we're recommended for approval and she'll final approved me at the end of the day. She explained that I'll be getting a 2 year one since we're married for less than a year. 
God is soooo good! ❤️❤️ Just hoping to get an approval notification soon!

Hey everyone!
 
Green Card Received & in hand!!!
 
It arrived today via USPS! Finally things will get a little easier for us from now on. Its been a long wait since I129F, although not as long like most people here who haven't received any news yet. But things will get processed soon everyone, just be a little more patient.
 
Good luck friends! 😊

It's for the EAD, still have the interview on the 28th just a little longer 😊

Omg congratulations! Is this ur GC or EAD? U probably got a waiver for the interview then. 

Thank you! Just hang in there the date will come. Your local office must be really busy. Our local office here is really small, I think that's why we got scheduled for the interview so soon because they don't have a heavy work load or something.

So happy and excited for you two! 🤗🤗

Hey guys!
 
Our I-485 Application to adjust status was APPROVED today at the INTERVIEW!!!!
 
Field Office: Yakima WA USCIS
Interview date: 08/15/2017
Interview approved: 08/15/2017
 
It was really simple, nothing too complicated or to worry about really...I'm the petitioner, and I wasn't asked any questions at all which was weird. I was so prepared, I took every document listed on the interview NOA letter and more. I even took with me plenty of relationship evidence and even my marriage license. I wasnt asked for any of that nor did IO bothered to ask to see it. He only asked my husbands passport and my ID. IO asked my husband questions about the I-485 application previously submitted to make sure no important fact was left out. IO asked security clearance questions instead of relationship questions or dates. 
 
"Have you ever been arrested?"
"Have been involved in a gang, mafia, or been part of human trafficking?"
" Did you ever forced onto someon sexually?"
"Are you or been involved in the Military?"
"Have you had any conflict with any IO in the USA?
"Are you involved in espionage against the USA?
" Have you operated firearms?"
"Do you have children?" 
 
Since my husband doesn't speak English and IO called an official approved interpreter to interpret for him. IO didn't want me to interpret the security clearance questions for obvious reasons. After that section of questions, I was able to interpret the rest of his questions to my husband. Then finally the moment of truth, he said everything submitted was properly completed and approved, that he would also approve our I-485 for his conditional green card. IO shook our hands and told us he would get his GC in less than 10 days, that my husband can start looking for a job and apply for his social security. I was like, oh officer, we have his SSN long time ago! He just laughed and said goodluck to both of us! Yayy!!! Then he said, oh yeah let me see your wedding pictures...(after he had already approved us) IO looked at a few and didnt even see all of them. He said that way I can noted it that I at least looked at them lol. Wierdo. 
 
The moment I walked out the office and was getting in the car, I received a USCIS email and Text notification that the card was being ordered and its in production!!!!! 

Hi I also requested to expedite... I requested on the 8th august. The next day the USICS reqested for the evidence since im doing on severe finacial loss to company as i have been asked to work for a company here in international BDM.. also severe fiancial loss to individual as i cannot work to i get my EAD and my start date is september 4th 2017 at new job.. i faxed all the documentation the same day and it kept saying server busy or offline... i then tried for the seventh time and said 'ok'.. my questions are 1) can i ring to confirm they recieved ? also how long to they will come back with a answer ? 

Hi all I have some updates for you!
 
EAD expediting request:
On Aug 2nd I have called Uscis and requested to expedited due to sever personal financial loss. I have been in the US since February and didn't work at all, quit my job and was eating all my savings to pay my student loan. I did go to a job interview which I received a request for SNN from in order to do a background check. So I explained it all to the representative on the phone which raises the SR and told me to wait up to 10 days for additional information.
 
Got an email back 4th of Aug requesting me to fax all the evidence to them, which I did by the end of that day- bank account balance, loan information, a cover letter that explains the situation and the email from the employer asking for the SSN to start process and offer Job after background check.
 
Same day the case was transferred to an officer and closed. 
 
Waited till Aug 10 and called again, they know nothing at the call center, you will need to request to escalate to an officer which will have all the information.
 
I have been approved but it will take another 10 days to get it updated in the system.
 
Keep a close look on your case, expediting does not hurt your timeline!
 
Btw, my husband is the petitioner and he is the only one on our affidavit of support. I have seen people saying that he has to provide and since he is the only one we will not get approved for expediting. NOT TRUE! 
 
Hope I helped!
