Did they say why you got a second interview? It is a bit strange? Do you have huge age gap? Or anything unusual in your relationship? 

 

But congratulations!!!

 

Nope nothing unsusal. My hisband is just 2 year older than me and as i said i asked the IO why 2nd interview he just said that its normal to have 2nd interviews and its basically for understanding the case better tonmake a decision. 

Thank you so much everyone for your wishes. Means alot. 

So here's my interviews experience

I had my first interview on feb 24th 2019. Interviewer asked the same  basic questions how you met, where u met, why u decided to get married how you knew each other.  He asked if we want to show him any docs for proof. So we showed him our joint taxes, phone plans, affidavit from friends and family,our pics together from wedding and from some other occasions and house lease with both of our names on it.  

Then he asked us about the joint account that we didn't had at that time. So that was it from the first interview. It was almost 20 minutes long.  

Then after 2 months we got a letter for a second interview. I was surprised to see that cause i thought our first interview just went fine but then why the second but anyways then on May 24th we had our 2nd interview.

Interview was scheduled at 10 o'clock but we had to wait almost 1 hour for our turn. It wasn't busy but still we had to wait this long. At almost 11 o'clock the same IO that we had last time came in and called my name and told us that he just want me to come with him first. So at that time i was sure that its gonna be a stokes interview. When we reached his office i asked him that why a 2nd interview he told me that its just normal to have 2nd interview sometimes people even have 3 interviews and i was like 3 interviews thats alot he smiled and said yes it help us to understand the cases and to make a right decision. I was like okay good. Then we talked about game of thrones and its ending. That was so random i know :p. Anyways then he asked me if I've something to show i gave him our joint account statements, utility bills , joint credit cards, auto insurance together, and a few more docs. Then he asked me if I've started driving i said yes he asked how's it going i told him that its good even I told him that i got a ticket last week because my tail light was not working he said oh be careful and never over speed cause then you'll get a ticket and it will be expensive one. Then he said okay so now I'm gonna ask you afew questions.  So he said its gonna be video taped so he started and asked me the first question and it was what is truth? I was like truth is truth 😛 he said no define truth then i defined truth. Then he asked what is benefit? I was like what kinda questions are these but anyways i answered. Then he asked is green card a good thing or bad or neither i was like i don't know if its a good or bad its just like if it helps me to be with my husband then its a good thing else its just a thing 😛 then he asked about what i did last night , what i had in my dinner , who woke up first this morning , who took shower this morning, how we met , why we met how we know each other and thats all then he  escorted me to the waiting area and said i hope there are more people now so that you don't have to sit alone because before that it was just me and my husband in the waiting area and one more couple. So i was like i hope so.  

 Then he asked the same questions from my husband. So we almost had the same answers. So at the end he came in the waiting area to give back a few docs and said that we'll have the decison in our mail in next few days. 

So on may 28th we gotthe update on our case that new card is being produced and case is approved. 

So finallyy its done yaayyyyyyyy

New card is being produced yayyyyy finalllyyyyy after 2nd interview that was a stokes interview on 24th May 2019 its a big relief. I'm so happppyyyy. Thank you everyone. You guys are just amazing. All your inputs and helping answers means alot. 

I'll soon share my experience of stokes interview here. Right now i just wnat to celebrate.

I am the same. I started my K visa on 2017, June. But till now, I still don’t have my first green card interview.. I am sick of this process. But there is nothing we can do... 

I can fully understand your situation.  Its pathetic. I'm so depressed now.

I guess you just need to prove strong and hard!!! You got to make it in this second interview! Where is your office? 

My field office is mount laurel. You're right but i came here on k1 visa so I'm in this process since 2017 and imagine its 2019 now 3 years almost and now at this point they still doubt our marriage. They still need more proof. Imean we also have other thinhs to do in our lives but no man its been 3 years everything is just stuck cause of this and now more is coming. I think its never gonna end.

Did you have your first interview and didn’t pass? What happened? 

First interview was 2 month before in February. It was not bad or good cause we weren't told anything at that time. IO didnt asked for any more docs at that time nor he told that our case is under review.  

We had photos, lease docs, bills together but didn't had joint bank account so he asked if we have joibt account we said no we don't have yet as we didn't felt the need for that as were living with our in laws and things were working that way. 

My husband is my family relative so our families know each other and even IO knows about it as showed him pics of our childhood and family members. 

But now this .... I'm done mannnn. I don't know what else we can do to satisfy them. 

I just got 2nd interview notice.  Hell with this whole thing. I'm really angry and sad.  I dont know what to say n expect.

I have received this email from uscis after 4 weeks from my interview. But sadly there's no more update since then. Its been almost now 7 weeks since my interview but still nothing. My interview went well no review paper or anything else was demanded but still nothing.

Well, i had my interview on july 30, 2018 at Indianapolis office and no updated yet, i sent a letter to the uscis office on april 2nd and no anseer yet.

I am thinking send another letter on may to the local office, it is the only thing i can think.

I had called and i didnt get help either on the phone.

This is terrible situation i mean its almost 10 months for you now and still no answer. How was your interview ? 

Its so sad that we can't even get the info pass appointment. I don't know what to do 

Can you pls share the addreas where did you sent the letter to uscis. I want to try that too.  

Guys i had my aos interview on 26th feb we were not given aproval on the spot but neither any review paper or anything. Online status still stucked on interview schedule. I can't even go for infopass as the mount laurel office is not accepting any info pass appointment. I don't know what to do. Anyone else in the same situation?

Hello

Yuo can apply for AP no problem still free won’t hurt anything. You may have your interview before you get the AP at this point. But that will depend of your local office processing times.

Hi Miguel did u get any update on your green card yet??

Do update whenever you get any update as your case is like mine. Most people get the answer on the interview day but i guess we have to wait a little longer. 

On 3/12/2019 at 5:50 PM, Miguel1820 said:

Same here, but my interview was on January 30th IO didn’t approved or denied no paper, just that they will reviewed. I heard of people that has been waiting for more than 90 or 120 days. Hopefully they don’t take that long to approve our cases.

Yeah its worrisome imean after all the wait we had already experienced now more wait for us. Imean its sad. 

I had my interview on 26th feb. Interview went well. It lasted for 30 minutes IO asked regular yes or no questions then he asked  if we have any supporting documents or proof of our marriage. We had pics letters from family n friends about our mariage house lease phone pacakge together so we showed him and that's it. At the end he asked if we have any questions we replied no. 

He didn't approved or denied us nor he said that he'll review our case. He didn't gave us any paper that people get when they are not approved on the spot. But I'm confused that why its taking so long to get any update.  We had our interview on 26th feb and now its almost two weeks.  Its still showing interview is scheduled on uscis portal.

You can tell the IO and he would understand. But what about joint credit card? Lease ? Car insurance? Health insurance? You can provide other things to show 

Thank you so much for the reply. Yes we have lease documents with both of our name on it, phone plan together, photo's of our wedding and some other random photo's of us together and with his and my family memebers, joint taxes that we filed together, joint credit cards

Guys I've my interview on 26th feb but I'm worried about one thing that most people have when they go for interview and that is i don't have a joint bank account with my husband because of his bad credits. He have student loan to pay and some delayed payments thats why his credit score is not good and we googled abput it and what we find is that if u open joint bank account with a person who have bad credits its going to effects yours too as i am new here and opened my bank account 2 month ago so we decided that we should keep it separate as we don't want to mess up both of our credit score. 

But I'm worried that may be the IO take it as a negative thing. So i don't know what to do ?? Anybody any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Don't worry everything is going to be alright. We feel you! Right now is just keeping the calm. Its easier said than done We know but hey we are here to support each other

 

Aaww thank you so much for your kind words. I know everyone here is in same situation. I'm bit more worried because I want to pass my driving test before winters and thats only possible if i can get my EAD then they will allow me to take the test because here in New Jersey its required and without it I'm not allowed to take the test. But as you said everything will be alright so I'm keeping the faith. May God help us all.  

Guys i submitted my case on May 29th and my PD is june 19th but still no EAD ....I'm just feeling really down...this waiting is really getting worse.

My EAD changed status October 15th for card in production! Finally! Took them a while, and I sent my AOS/EAD combo May 4th 🤦🏻‍♀️ So frustrating seeing everybody else getting their cards  

 

expect it anytime, I think they still try to not reach more than 6 full months 

Gosh its a long loooonggg wait....but happy for you atleast you got your ead. I live in NJ and i can't even get DL without EAD so its really frustrating to be stuck in this wait. Hope it over soon. 

Its been 4 months 20 days for me, still no update no ead nothing at all.  Guys how are you coping with this ??
