✨ Birthday Prayer of Faith and Favor ✨
Dear God,
On this birthday, I thank You for the gift of life, for every blessing, every lesson, and every moment You have carried me through. Today, I place my future in Your hands again — especially my immigration journey. Lord, You know my heart and the desires within it. I ask for Your divine favor over my green card process. Let every delay turn into approval, every closed door open in Your perfect timing, and every worry turn into testimony.
Bless the officers handling my case — guide their decisions with fairness and clarity. Let Your peace go before me, and let Your grace surround every detail of my life right now. As I enter this new year of life, may it be filled with answered prayers, open doors, healing, provision, family joy, and purpose fulfilled.
You have written my story before I was born, and I trust You with every page that’s still turning. Thank You for hope. Thank You for strength. Thank You in advance for the victory that’s already on the way.
In Jesus’ name — Amen. 🙏✨
Interview update
(I wanna share objective facts)
I had 589 interview today. It tooks me 2 hours approximately deducting the 15 minutes break. The officer seems smooth in asking those countless questions and allow me speak till end. Anyway I am waiting for an interview result. Our Savior Christ will help me!
Lessons for future interviewees:
- make sure you have consistent answers and flawless storytelling
- give time for an asylum officer time to take notes and breathe (I was bad on that🥲)
- never hesitate to ask for clarity if you are not clear on a question
- take time and do mock interviews before the day
- be on time, dress causally, feel free to take breath and express your emotions during the interview (don’t exaggerate rather just be honest)
- officers are humans and they will be sad/happy and goes with your feelings if you tell them your truth and address their questions in contextual bases. (based on my experience)
- never try to jump/ignore their questions (always answer in precise but with a bit of context answers)
- I can’t say don’t be nervous bc it is decisive event for you/myself, but try to get back to road/focus/calmity as the interview went through deep
best wishes to all of us

Hello everyone, good afternoon.
Is anyone here also waiting for an interview at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China?
My wife’s case was transferred to the consulate in June, but there has been no update since then. When I emailed the consulate, they only replied:
“Thank you for contacting again. Please be advised that we received the beneficiary’s case on July 10, 2025, and it is currently in line to be scheduled for an interview. Due to the high volume of cases received, it may take several months for the case to be scheduled. Once the interview is scheduled, an appointment notice will be sent to the petitioner and the beneficiary by mail.”
If anyone else is also waiting for their interview at the Guangzhou Consulate, please share your updates so we can keep each other informed!

I had my green card interview today. San Bernardino Location.
Today I had my green card interview at the San Bernardino field office.
appointment was at 10:45am.
I arrived at 10:10am
got called in at 10:55am
the interview was about 30 min long.
the officer was pretty aggressive.
he said my entry story was not true, that he used to be a Border Patrol and the way I entered the U.S had to have been via using someone else’s Birth certificate. (me pretending to be a us citizen)
the whole interview was solely based on how I’m lying.
My lawyer attended via phone and she had to tell him to kinda calm down.
he became very upset, and said things to my lawyer like
” I can make this difficult and ask for RFE on the entry”
I was so scared.
towards the end he sped through the question on the I-485. ( all yes or no questions) and then gave me a paper saying that I attended my interview and marked “ a decision cannot be made yet about your application “
one of the options on the paper was: “a RFE has been issued: you must comply with the request for further processing “
with every thing he said, I’m happy he didn’t select that option.
anyone have a hard interview but a good outcome (approval?)
Greencard in hand!!!
Got my GC in the mail today!!! It couldn’t have come at a better time and I am so excited to begin traveling! Thank you to this community for the support and encouragement through my almost 3 years wait! I wish everyone good luck in their journeys
