marriage based AOS
hi everyone, I wanted to share my interview experience with you. interview took place in Minneapolis, MN and it was super quick and easy. we got there about 20 minutes before the scheduled time. we went through security and then checked in at the reception and got a ticket number. we waited for about 15 minutes before we were called in. the interviewers was extremely nice. he sworn us in and asked if we needed to contact our lawyer before we started. we told him we were fine and then he made us have a sit. he started by looking at our passports and asking if we had any new evidence to add to the case. we have him our 2020 taxes, new lease, bank statements, car insurance, car title. we also had pictures which he looked at but didn't want to keep. he asked my husband questions first. it seemed like he was going through the answers in the i-130 and making sure his answers matched. he asked where he worked, his parents name, his full name, where he lived, where he lived before the current address, where his parents live, if he was ever married before, my name, if we were married, when we got married, if we had any separations since we got married. then he moved on to asking me questions. he asked my full name, my husband name, if we were married still, if we had any separations since we got married, if i was married before, if i had any children, of we were expecting, my dad's name, and he went through all the yes or no questions for the i-485. he asked both of us how we met, if our parents k knew we were married, if we had meet each others parents, how we started dating, and what are our plans for the future. then he looked at our pictures and said he was recommending is for approval. by the time we got home or case had been moved to card being produced and this afternoon both the i-130 and the i-485 moved to case approved.

EAD timeline
Hi all, I’m very grateful for all the support I received from this community and wanted to return the favor in sharing my timeline. I’ve been extremely lucky that my EAD process has been very quick as I know many people are still anxiously waiting to get the card. Just for context, my case is AOS through marriage and I filed EAD concurrently with I-485 and I-130. My priority date for all receipts is April 2021. Right now, my I-485 is at ready to be scheduled for interview status waiting at Queens field office in NY. Also, I requested to expedite my EAD after my biometrics were done. Happy to answer any questions regarding my case. I’m ecstatic right now and hoping to share the good luck with everyone!

i485 Approved
What a journey this has been for me. In the fall of 2018, I came to the USA reluctantly with the hope of starting my life over and a dream of living in my truth. It was not an easy decision and certainly was not an easy process. Winning asylum 6 months later, a process I could not even fathom was in itself overwhelming. Then finally receiving my EAD and the ability to work in the US legally; that sense of self actualization, it was finally happening. Leaving behind my home country, my culture, my family was hard. But I just could not keep pretending and always sensed the United States was an inevitable beacon of freedom for me. It was truly where I was meant to be. Maybe it was the culture, the films, TV and music, the food, the people, the dream big life style, that sense of safety and possibility to fully realize who you are. There were bumps along the way to get here, but I don't regret it. For those who have yet to start the journey or just going through the process, I send you all the strength, love, compassion, blessing and prosperity that your journey ultimately leads to success. Even though my experience was a hard one, I think about those who are not fortunate to have some of the resources afforded to me. I think about those trapped in persecution, stuck at the border, crossing through the Darien Gap. My prayers are with you.
