Case Processing
TB evaluation
My blood test for TB is positive and I was referred to local health department to complete the referral evaluation part but I am told there is no appointment till May 2026. They rather did the xray for me and told me to book the May appointment which I personally think is far. I called my civil surgeon and he said i should bring the xray so that he completes my forms for me. I really want to be sure if same civil surgeon can complete the referral part of the medical form because I saw the wrote referral to local health department or other health care provider. Any one in this situation or has been in this situation to share with views with me . It’s Latent TB not active TB.
Thank you
Mini EB‑1A / NIW Profile Audit Available
Hi everyone!
I’ve been analyzing recent EB-1A and NIW case trends on Lawfully and noticed something important: candidates with well-structured recommendation letters and clearly documented judging/membership contributions often have faster approvals and fewer RFEs.
If you’d like a quick personalized case-strength review, I can map your achievements to EB-1A/NIW criteria and highlight your strong areas and potential gaps all before filing.
Just DM me if you want me to run one for your profile. https://wa.me/+16469804143
3/3/26 interview experience
I went to the interview today at Brooklyn USCIS in NYC. it was very brief. the staff were pretty nice from begining to the end.
we greeted each other with a smile and then I said I was nervous on my way to his office. he said there’s nothing to worry about, and that he reviewed my case prior to the interview.
after i sat down, he asked for medical exam. then verify my current address. asked if my answers on the i485 were truthful. then he stamped the Approval on document. i signed, did fingerprints and took a picture. then he congratulated me, and joked “you didn’t think it would be this easy”, i laughed and teared up at the same time, then he walked me out.
That’s it. The total time spent was probably 10-12min max.
I am still in shock how simple and straightforward it was. I am still grateful to my lawyer to make sure I brought like 2lbs of documents tho. Also thankful to have such nice officer.
I thank God for listening to my prayers and seeing my hardworks.
I wish everyone the best luck. Your time will come as long as you do the right thing.
