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!

i751 with stoke interview (LA)
That was a long way to get for this today.
We got interview seperately and it took around 1 hour to finish the test.
Interviewer was so calm and profession but the questions from that interviewer was mind bening.
Let me share questions that we were asked by.
1. How could meet your spouse
2. Which university I graduated (Since ESL or english school violated student visa immigration law, they were so strict. They asked me to show my graduation university bachelor degree diploma)
3.how much both of us make a year
4. how many spoons we have
5. How many windows are in bedroom
6. Do you watch TV show, what is the name of it?
7. How many cars do you have
8. How much you pay for mortgage?
9. When was the last trip? and where did you visit?
10. What is your spouse friends name?
11. Why both of you didnt have baby yet?
12. What is your spouse job and where she/he is working
13. What both of you do after work?

Marriage based green card approved!
I just had my AOS interview in San Jose at 12 noon today and case status changed to card being produced 20 mins after.
I had prepared an entire folder but all she asked for was our passports and original marriage cert. She asked my wife a citizen, how and when we met and asked me the yes no questions.

EAD approved, April filer!
My timeline:
April 1, 2021: USCIS received my case
April 2, 2021: notice of receipt
September 21, 2021: case being actively reviewed by USCIS
November 9, 2021: card being produced
Center: Nebraska
Receipt number: IOE-09-112-63xxx
Category: C8, renewal.
I'll give a throughout timeline until I get the card in my hands when I do.
No biometrics taken. So, don't stress if you haven't received a biometrics appointment. you might or you might not as USCIS don't always send them. Plus, in some cases, they reuse old/previous ones.
Keep the faith. The waiting period is mental torture, but this too shall pass.

does anyone know how long it will take to get all the other documents after this?
