I can’t believe I’m making this post! I never thought this day would come.
PD- July 13, 2021 (became current in October 2025)
I was scheduled for an interview and my case status never updated. It remained at “Case Remains Pending”.
Me and my husband went to the interview and we were interviewed separately.
First question from officer was: have you been working for your sponsor?
I told him I didn’t work for my initial sponsor, but that I had filed the supplemental J. Apparently he didn’t have my I-485 J with him, and he insisted that I had to be working for my initial sponsor. I explained to him that I was allowed to change employers, and that I had been working for my current and new sponsor for almost 3 years. He then spent a while on the computer looking for my file. He found it and filed it with my other documents.
He then started asking a few yes/no questions from the I-485. Also asked how many hours I work and salary.
At the end he said that he would approve the new supplemental J. That was the only cue I had the case was approved.
My husband’s interview took 30 min and the officer was chatting with him the whole time. He said to my husband he was going to review and that we should expect our cards in the next 2weeks.
He didn’t ask for any document!
When I got home the case status had been updated to “new card is being produced”.
Both my husband and I were approved.
One tip: be well prepared for the interview and be confident!
Good luck to everyone! Your time will come!
