Let's make this a thread for people who did not get approved on the spot. After Interview processing is the worst.
Please share your experiences.
Thank you!

interview was 01/21/21 still no update yet. My husband and I keep checking every hour, still says, " interview scheduled ".
S KaApr 12, 2021
My i130 is also at case received :|
Please let me know if you find anything on this.
S KaApr 12, 2021
so if you filed i130 and i485 together they get processed together.
if you married to a green card holder then I believe you have to wait for i130 to be approved before filing i485.
J TApr 12, 2021
Our interview was also scheduled before I-130 was approved.
I-130 was approved 30 days after our interview.
I-485 still says Interview was scheduled, even though our interview was on Oct 2020.
S KaApr 12, 2021
@JT

How do you know if interview went well?
S KaApr 13, 2021
@gucci At the end of the interview I asked how did we do.
He said we did pretty good and should hear back in a month, Then he continued less than a month most probably.
Mitch NKApr 13, 2021
@S Ka , some here, io told us we'll get GC in 2-3 weeks time. it's been more than a month. I called yesterday and asked for a type 2 officer to call me back. so they scheduled me to expect a call from them within 14 days.
S KaApr 13, 2021
@mitch please keep us posted here how it goes with the call.
good luck!!
Mitch NKApr 13, 2021
@S Ka I'll let you guys know as soon as I receive a call from them.
J TApr 13, 2021
if I knew why I would tell you but I don’t lol
and no I never got any RFE’s, We are just going to keep waiting and hopefully we get a decision or hear something from them soon.
S KaApr 13, 2021
@JT
I wish you a very best of luck!!
S KaMay 7, 2021
@antonio Any update?
S KaMay 24, 2021
@Mitch,
You never let us know how the call went, bro 😓
S KaJul 6, 2021
hi everyone, New card is being produced
good luck, everyone.
Thanh NguyenJul 6, 2021
Great! Huge Congrats!
N OJul 6, 2021
congratulations 👏👏👏
N OJul 6, 2021
@S Ka did you call them at some point or did your status just change suddenly to card is being produced
S KaJul 6, 2021
@Thanh @ NO
Thank you. I called them countless times. I will share SR history in a minute, Will copy from other post.
S KaJul 6, 2021
I raised first SR on i485 on 4/28 second my wife did on i130 5/13
Then requested Tier2 callback and no response.
Then we did another SR on i130 last week and today I got this update.
S KaJul 6, 2021
Number of times I contacted them via phone/emma doesn't have any count. Lol
It was basically every week after interview. lol
N OJul 7, 2021
wow @S Ka I guess calling them speeds up the process. I was thinking that waiting till it gets to my turn should be ideal. but from your experience, I guess we'd have to start buzzing them
S KaJul 8, 2021
@N O
yeah, I think you should stay on top of your case with them. My EAD renewal application had my DOB issue. I was trying to get that fixed since Dec 2020. They fixed it in 2021 May.
They still had wrong info for my renewal (Wrong A-number) and they never fixed it, Still have a pending request. lol
Many of my calls were regarding this whole issue too, So I would just ask about i485.
N OJul 8, 2021
@S Ka I am so happy for you. Congratulations. You really came a long way and it all worked together for good. Just being curious, do you still need A-number after green card?
S KaJul 8, 2021
Thanks a lot.
This is what I understand, Your alien number puts all your cases together. Before filling for immigration or after filing that.
After filing for green card, USCIS will assign you this number and use this number to keep all your visa infos, your FBI report, your any work permit in between together.
I believe A-number is their way of identifying an immigrant. It will be with you until you get your citizenship.
