Interview Was Scheduled for both I360 & I485
I wanted to share my timeline and see if anyone has had a similar experience.
VAWA (Form I-360) & Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) filed: January 22, 2022
RFE for Form I-360 received: May 29, 2025
RFE response submitted: August 2025
Current update: After almost one year since responding to the RFE, I received a notification that my I-360 and I-485 interview has been scheduled.
Has anyone else experienced an interview being scheduled for both the I-360 and I-485 after responding to an RFE? If so, what was your experience? What kind of questions were asked, and what should I expect?
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar situation. Thank you!
marriage Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA)
Hi everyone! I am from Argentina and currently going through the adjustment of status process. I married my husband, who is a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) through the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA), so I applied as a derivative beneficiary under the same law. USCIS received our I-130 and I-485 forms on July 5, 2024. We have been waiting for exactly two years now, and our cases are still pending with no recent updates. Is there any other spouse of a CAA recipient in a similar situation or who filed around July 2024? I would love to hear if anyone has received approvals, RFEs, or any updates recently just to compare timelines. Our local field office is Miami. Thank you so much, and good luck to everyone with their cases!

AOS - I485
I would like to share my case.
My case is F2A with PD April 2024.
On October 2025, I filed my I-485 and was scheduled interview on July 2026.
My I-130 was approved on the same interview date and I-485 was approved after 1 day.
The interview went well with a lot of questions for both my wife and me regarding our basic information, our relationship, tax, photos and my immigration history.

Has anyone experienced the same?
I’m from February 2023. In September 2023, I got an update on my I-485 that said, “Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken,” and last night I got the same message again on the I-485. Does anyone know what it means to have the same update twice so many years apart?
F2A Interview: I-130 Status Changed 3 Times, I-485 Still Pending
My F2A interview was a week ago. My I-485 status hasn't updated yet, but my I-130 status has changed three times—from "Actively Reviewing" to "USCIS Is Processing Your Case," and then to "USCIS Is Processing Your Case" again. Does anyone have any idea what this means?
Interview for I485 after VAWA/Case APPROVED
Just wanted to share my VAWA timeline and interview experience. I hope it helps someone!
My timeline:
* April 2022 – Filed VAWA (I-360) and I-485 together
* January 2026 – VAWA approved
* April 2026 – Received the medical exam (I-693) request
* June 24, 2026 – Interview was scheduled
* July 8, 2026 – Interview completed
* July 8, 2026 – I-485 approved
Interview experience:
I had my interview in Chicago, and it was really easy. The officer only asked simple questions: my name, where I work, when I came to the U.S., my parents’ names, and my marital status.
I filed my I-485 while I was married, but I’m now divorced. Since they had my original application from 2022, the officer asked when I got divorced and requested my divorce decree. I had already obtained a certified copy from the court with the judge’s signature, so I was able to provide it.
I also brought my Social Security card, passport, Advance Parole, Employment Authorization Document (EAD), and all of my approval notices, but she didn’t ask to see any of them.
I had my lawyer with me, which made me feel much more comfortable. The interview mostly consisted of the standard yes-or-no questions. They did not ask me about the abuse or ask detailed questions about my ex-husband.
Remember: They can only ask very general questions about your marriage, such as when you got married, when you got divorced, your ex-spouse’s name, birthday, and when you met.
I would recommend having a lawyer with you if possible. It gave me peace of mind, and they can step in if needed.
The whole interview took less than 30 minutes.
Now I’m just waiting for my green card. Good luck to everyone who’s still waiting—you’ve got this! ❤️#vawa #i485aftervawa #interview

Drivers license name change
I got naturalized in November of 2025 but just updated SSN last week. I also decided to change my name to my husbands last name after naturalization. I got my SSN updated to my married name, but when I went to update my drivers license they issued a temporary license and said they needed to verify my citizenship and once that's done they'd mail me the new license? is this common?
485 based on grant of asylum interview
Hi everyone,
I just finished my asylum-based green card interview this morning, and I'm happy to share that it went very well.
The officer only asked me questions from my application. We found a few mistakes on the form, and we corrected them together during the interview. The entire interview lasted about 40 minutes.
At the end, the officer told me he would enter all the corrections into the system, review everything, and then make a final decision. He also said that I should receive my green card before long after he finishes the review.
Based on my personal experience, the interview was very straightforward and much easier than I expected. I don't think everyone going to an asylum-based green card interview necessarily needs a lawyer. If your case is straightforward and you're familiar with your application, you can do well by answering honestly and confidently. Of course, if you feel you need legal assistance because of the complexity of your case or for peace of mind, there's nothing wrong with hiring a lawyer.
I hope this helps anyone who is feeling nervous. Be truthful, review your application carefully before your interview, and stay calm. Wishing everyone the very best with their interviews!
