just received our green cards!
it’s been quite a ride, all together I lived almost 9 years in the US, was a student 20+ years ago with a J1 then a F1 and then I came back ~7 years ago on a H1-B which I kept too long, had to get a O-1 while my concurrent EB1-B was pending (I-140 accepted in 4 days in premium processing). We filed my case all together I-140, I-765, I-131 and I-485 for me and my 3 dependents, medicals included. Since we are ROW, my PD was then Feb 27 2024. We had a RFE on the I-485 (transferred from TX to NBC as most employment based cases) about birth certificates and asking for I-485J. we got EAD and some APs approved in 61 days, the I-485 in 76 days and today we received 3 out of 4 cards, 1 is coming next week apparently (the only kid who got a EAD/AP combo). I know this is super fast and I realize how lucky I’m when I see many people here waiting for hundreds of days to be current. I happy to answer questions or give more info on our timeline. SO HAPPY and RELIEVED! #EB1B #EB12

I-485 interview process experience: EB1C: India: Senior Management role
Hi All, Am sharing this for all those waiting for their AOS interviews. Looks like the interview is going to be the norm for most cases if not all. My PD is in Nov 2022. Biometrics were in July 2023 and Medicals submitted Jan 2024. The interview process was smooth though I was anxious. Here is the process for benefit of anyone interested to know. The process was standard as was described to me by my attorney and also a friend who had attended such interview few months back. The main objective seems to be to (1) get declaration under oath that all information given is true (2) validate the information on i-485 and (3) get confirmation on those eligibility questions (long list of ‘NO’ marked ones in I-485). The officer was friendly and warm and entire process was done very cordially. Total time was about 30 mins or so. 1. Oath administered 2. IDs verified passport plus Driver license or EAD card 3. Basic details verbally checked - My date of birth, place born, citizenship, parents names , last when I entered US, my current address – submitted my i-94 4. Asked about my job and responsibilities - she took quite a bit of time on this - a. title and role b. asked about India company c. relation between India company and us company d. how I got this job and who recruited me and process followed to recruit me e. Does my job require travel 2. -I submitted the latest Org chart and my roles in job confirmation letter a. she asked if I brought my paystubs - submitted that along with my w-2, confirmation letter from current employer and also submitted I-485j (marked that I am continuing with same employer) though she didn’t ask for it, but accepted it b. submitted copies of joint tax filings ( self and spouse) 5. Spouse was just asked basic standard questions -DoB, date of marriage, citizenship etc place of birth, how many children, where she stayed 6. Daughter - name, age, date of birth, her relationship with us, parents names, any siblings, whether she is married/ single etc 7. ‘Eligibility Questions’ – the ones in I-485 – multiple sections where all were marked ‘NO’ – she read out few questions in each section at random and looked for our response and check marked as answered. Our answers for all of those were ‘NO’
