I had my interview today between 1:30pm to 2:00pm mountain time. 
My husband and I were allowed to go inside uscis 15 minutes to our interview time. 
 
So the officer was a lady. 
My husband was called first together with our immigration lawyer. After about 13 minutes later I was called to come in and my hubby was asked to leave the interview room. 
The officer asked me to take an oath to tell the truth. After that the oath, she ask me to mention my legal name, asked of my DoB, my parents full name, where I was born, and when I arrived in US. Then, she went through the I-485 application questions (the yes and no questions) with me. 
She asked if there are any redflags in my marriage. 
Afterwards, she ask me to talk to her about my marriage life. 
She asked where and when I met my hubby for the first time, asked if I have met my hubby's family members, places we have visited, which pet we have and its name, where we both work and how we go to work. 
 
She later said she is going to do her reviews. But talk about 10 years green card since my marriage is over 2years.
 
So in all my interview went well and according to my immigration lawyer, he said the officer was looking for reasons to approve me. So i did well.

My card arrived yesterday!!! Now to relax for a little while lol 😌 Thanks for your support everyone 💙
 

Guys!!!!! So I did a wish at 11:11am to ask for my case to be approved. Just checked and I got this!! I am so happy!!!!!!!

Still waiting. I called last week and they said they sent a letter to say they received RFE and it’s still under review. It’s been over 60 days since I sent it now and 3 months to the day since our interview. I’m trying not to think about it too much as I think I will breakdown from the stress and worry. It’s so unfair especially with others getting their interviews waived, why can’t they just make a decision on mine  
 
Thank you for the message I really appreciate it. Glad your hubs family are better. 
 
I miss my family so much, I haven’t seen them in over a year now and it’s breaking me 💔

Hi all, my husband and I had our AOS interview last week 6th November interview at Oakland park. It went really well and completely unexpected considering we applied in March. I received my EAD 2 weeks ago and was happy for that. Today I received my greencard in hand. So happy this part is done for now until our removal of conditions. Wishing everyone else waiting all the best !! 

Hi! Just wanted to give an update - we are APPROVED!!!
The interview was pretty easy and lasted about 20-25 minutes. It didn't really feel like an interview but more like a conversation honestly and the officer was really nice. After she swore us in, she explained how the interview was going to go and asked us if we had any new documents to provide. I said yes and while I pulled them out, she casually asked us when we met, when our relationship got serious, and when the proposal was. Then I handed her all the updated documents that we had for the I-864 (new pay stubs, W-2s etc..) and new evidence of bona fide marriage. As I was handing her all the docs, we casually chatted about them, like trips we had taken, who was in what pictures, our families etc. Then she went through the forms and updated a couple of things as necessary. Finally she had me answer all the standard "are you a criminal" type questions. After that she said she would have to do some admin stuff in the system but that she would be approving us and explained how ROC etc works. She was so nonchalant when she said that she was approving us that we didn't even realize that we had gotten it at first haha We got the email notification of new card in production within half an hour after we left!!
 
One thing that I thought was interesting was that she said that when the green card gets delivered, we would have to sign for it and that they would not just leave it without a signature. Which I thought was weird because I have not heard of anyone having to sign for it yet here? Wondering if that's a new thing..
 
All in all it was a pretty straightforward interview. I'm so so thankful for everyone here for the support through the whole process and for always being a great source of information when questions came up!

Filled July 2019
EAD received on February 2020
Interview scheduled for March 2020
 
Miami Field Office
 
What happened? This is a surprise!

Is anyone here using an affidavit of support from any friends and family? We have a roommate who we've lived with for over 2 years and she's really close to both of us so she written one for me. I always feel like maybe they don't carry that much weight seeing how anyone could write one but I'm also thinking why not? 😬 
Picked up my medical form today, added some last minute documents to my pile and now we just count down! 🙏🏼

So I got my letter pretty quick! Interview scheduled for the 26th Feb at 10:45am downtown Manhattan  

Good news for us as well. Interview Scheduled as of January 13th. We are in San Francisco so I wasn't even expecting to hear from them until late June. 

We have a trip planned to Thailand for my cousin's wedding at the end of may so hopefully everything is done well before then. 

I literally was on here yesterday to check up on how things are going, its been a few months, today my wife messages me and asked me if I was sitting down. XD.
 
 

I think I prepared our AOS interview package. Please correct me if I skipped something!

AHHH FINALLY OUR INTERVIEW HAS BEEN SCHEDULED!!!! I almost cried when I got the email!! Now on to assembling our interview packet..

Look what happened!!!!! I’m in Manhattan, NYC so was not expecting this for a few more months!!! Maybe they have outsourced me to another FO who knows but I’m just happy!! 

Just had our interview in Houston a couple of hours ago and we were approved on the spot! The status on the USCIS website has already changed to “new card is being produced”.
 
The officer was extremely friendly and didn’t ask us many questions. He just briefly scrolled through our wedding album and guestbook, and then asked us for some loose pictures that he could add to our folder. We didn’t even have to show him the copy of our new lease or any new evidence.
 
Now we just have to sit tight and wait for the card in the mail. And since we’ve been married for almost 3 years they just gave me the 10 year green card! I am so glad we were able to breeze through the interview and that we don’t have to go through this process again.
 
For those still waiting just hang tight! 

We just finished our green card interview in Houston this morning. Everything went well except that the NVC forgot to send my husband's confidential medical packet to the Houston field office. Happens every now and then, our officer said; and it's pretty true from some of the stories here on VJ. So our status has changed to "Interview Was Completed and My Case Must Be Reviewed".
 
Still, we breathed a sigh of relief that we passed the interview! Now we just need them to complete the packet so they can approve and produce the green card. The officer said it should be within 30 days. I just hope it's not truly missing and that they only forgot to send it. If it had been anything else, we would have had a copy because I saved everything, but the confidential medical packet is surrendered at the port of entry so we have no way of making copies of it. 
 
As for the interview itself, my husband was nervous but the officer only asked him the basics -- when did he enter the US; when did we get married; our current address; and the usual questions about terrorism, criminal acts, etc. As long as you've got the basics down, you should be fine!

Can't figure out how to get rid of the quote box ⬆️⬆️😂
 
Made it back to the US! 3 hours in customs and 20 minutes in secondary inspection but the officer was very friendly and made jokes. Didn't ask for anything else but the AP and passport. My 22 hours travel day is about to come to an end, I can't wait to be home with my husband and dog! 

Update:
I’ve got the email Interview was scheduled!!! Let’s wait for the mail and find a Uscis doctor for the shots!

I’ve got a status update Text message this morning  about my I-485 and of course the egov site and the case tracker is on maintenance mode now... I hope it’s a scheduled interview!!!

Hey just checking in from NYC. Still waiting to be scheduled for my interview but I knew it would be a long wait so I’m very chill about it. It’s good to be working and it’s making time fly!
 
Hope everyone is doing ok and have a lovely holiday and an amazing new year! 

To be honest it was the weirdest interview ever! Not difficult at all. No need to be nervous at all. Take copies of all original documents and a few loose pictures for them to keep. 

Hi Everyone,
 
This website and the people who are on it and moderate it have made the immigration process so much less intimidating. 
 
Thanks to the information I have learnt on this site I managed to secure my SSN and driving licence waaaaaay before my EAD, making the transition into a new country so much easier.  All without the help of the ludicriously priced lawyers. 
 
It would take me forever to thank everyone who helped me along the way . . . . you know who you are.

Thank you all! Let's catch up in 18 months when we have to apply to remove the conditions 😂 #nomoreucscisfor18months 

We had our interview today and the officer told us we had been approved at the end of the interview! Our status online changed to card being produced just now. We are so happy that it was such a smooth interview and so pleased that we got a result straight away. I hope that everyone else gets similar experiences! 

We recently got the text from USCIS saying our status changed. Looks like we'll be getting the Interview date in the mail. I'm so surprised since we are doing it through the San Jose office and it can take up to 2 years. So we're a little anxious and dying to know when. But about how far from the notice are interviews scheduled out?

Hi guys,
 
Hope everyone is doing okay who didn’t have the interview yet (like me). 
So I just checked the processing time and it went down!!! It was like 15 months for Santa Ana and now it’s only 11,5 months! 
hopefully all of us gonna get a nice interview scheduled for Christmas!

We applied in October, biometrics is next week, we are WPB
