(Daughter I-131 never got actioned which is weird but don’t think it’s even necessary now!)
Can’t even begin to describe the relief to finally get this sorted. lawfully was spot on with the prediction of potential approval. it had said between 27th Feb and 29th May.
good luck to everyone. it’s a tough process to go through but a nice feeling at the end 😀

New card is being produced - about 2 hours after interview
Our interview was at Federal Plaza in Manhattan. It lasted about 40 minutes or a bit less. The interviewing officer was very friendly. It felt more of a little chit chat than an interview. He swore us in and sat us down and basically just told us to tell him our story from the beginning. We then showed him our evidence. He asked me the yes or no questions on the form and finally he told us we have a great marriage and we’re approved.
I was very nervous because I heard lots of interview horror stories but it was nothing of the sort. You’ll be fine!
Not sure which card I’ll get; the temp or permanent. We’ve been married for 2 years 7 months.
Case Approved!!!!🍾🍾🍾🍾
Finally the wait is over guys!
Thank you all for the love and support. It took 8weeks instead of the 5-6weeks that the officer told us.

I just had my interview in chicago field office. it went really well. the officer was super nice and polite. the whole interview lasted about 20mins.
we waited for about 10mins before she came to call us.
*she sworn us in and took my fingerprints.
*she checked out IDs and started with the usual questions in the application ie: name, date of birth, address and the security questions. she did the same with my wife.
*she asked us our story ie: how we met and stuff like that.
NB: she took notes of everything we said. such as dates, name and location of the restuarant.
*how was our wedding and who was with us.
* she asked to see the evidence we brought with us. (we explained that i have not received a social security yet so we don’t have alot of evidence such as joint accounts and stuff like that and she understood)
NB: the only evidence we had were pictures with family and friends, home and car insurance, my wife’s credit card history showing payment for my online courses, hotel and flight reservation of our last vacation, and our prepared tax for 2020.
(so with american express you can add your partner as a user of your credit card. so we had emails showing that i have been added to her card)
* then she took some 5mins going through our pictures whiles we explained every picture to her.
basically that is it!
she then told us that she has 120days to make a decision but she usually uses 4-5weeks so we should wait to hear from her.
and also she doesn’t think she will need anything from us again but she still has to review the case. so yeah fingers crossed🤞

Combo Card Aprobed and Received: Beggining March 2021
Interview Scheduled: Beggining March 2021 (a day after i765 aproved)
Interview day: April 22nd, 2021
Interview was 1pm, we got interviewed like 2.15pm, 4.45pm I got a notification my card is being produced.
The interview guy asked for our birth certificates, passports, marriage certificate and my medical exam.
Then asked for joint documentation: we had car insurance, travel tickets, credit and checking accounts statements, cell phone bill. I did not have a lease together and he did not ask about it neither but I guess it would be better having one. He went through it fast and then asked for our taxes this year and I handed him them. (he only kept the irs taxes as a prove) Skipped the photo album saying that the pictures we sent when we filed were enough (were like 10 pics)
Then the yes/no questions. Did not ask my about my illegal status and working without permit.
He asked if we have moved since we filed, we said yes, that it was updated online, he confirmed and wrote it down on the form. Because of that I needed to sign again.
Questions in between as a conversation:
-Where did we meet?
-Where do we live now?
-Why do we travel to the same states always? (because of family)
Not much... he ended saying if I get aproved I would get the conditional green card at the address we have on file. "You can go"
Yes, I was expecting more questions specially about us. It was fast. No problems at all. Never separated.
My husband is unemployed for one year now. No problems with the affidavit of support, no questions. I am working though. But again no questions.
I don t now what else to tell you. Feel free to ask!
Good luck :)
