Case Approved

handled interview pretty well but approved…not on the spot
first a lot of thanks go out to this community, I really got a lot of useful information so I feel like to return after my interview experience. F.O. at Philly. some officers are so nice, they smile at you when talking, some just being serious with you as business is business, and also I saw one officer(lady) even kinda yelled at the accompany person of a senior… as I am on my opt-extension, officer went through every single one of my eight I-20’s and even asked for a I-797 of my extension. really out of my expectation but luckily I bring all the paperwork received from USCIS with me. checked all the ID’s SSN’s, EAD cards, passports and birth certificates for both. my attorney even did not ask for the LPR’s birth certificate as they believe green card itself is sufficient enough as a good proof. well it turns out they want to see it. lucky me again that I got my spouse’s birth right the day before interview. questions are simple as how we met, when, and how we dated before getting married. what’s the engagement like? wedding? and where. the others are just Y/N questions. just tell the truth. for marriage support information and documents, they are interested in everything every paper with both your names on it. joint car/health/rental/house insurance, joint mortgage, deed, tax returns( filing jointly), even took my dental bills when we visited our dentist every time, having both names on it as well for photos, they’d take 10 new photos after your case submission, not just two of you but with family members, friends employement information: payslips and verification letter. better get prepared for it in the end, after going through all the documents and questions, the officer just said l think that’s it for today, to end our interview. there was no verbal approval or on the spot etc, that I could not even ask if my green card is a 10-year one or not since our marriage is more than two years. I feel like we handled the interview pretty well, addressed every question the officer asked and every document being asked for (lucky me and also, be organized and prepared for……everything), but a little bit disappointed but soon I accepted it as it was and already ready to receive nothing update in months. my spouse did ask when should we receive any notice or result and we were told to receive notice in mail, within next month or so. when i got out of office, I just felt released as the interview was over. checked Lawfully app and nothing update but interview was scheduled for 485 and case received for 130. but after an hour or so, I noticed there were 4 notifications of my Lawfully app that really got me excited. you really have to admit that the notifications in Lawfully are such excitement and inspiration during this journey, if you don’t receive it from case update a lot, just comment more and keep your faith. finally best luck goes out to every one of you on this journey!
