APPROVED AFTER YESTERDAYS INTERVIEW!!!!!!! ( For some reason the timeline shows a wrong day, we got approved today after 601 days of waiting)
FINALLY!!!! It has been a long road !!! With RFE for taxes that our lawyer’s office messed up and lost , we even had to reopen the case . Then, my case just got frozen , I did not hear anything from USCIS for 3 months after I-130 approval and on October 13th I decided to use a help of my congressman and they replied next day after I submitted a request, in two days my I-485 interview was scheduled for November 17th . We had our interview yesterday morning, it went very smooth , the officer was chatting with my husband while printing some of our joint documents (bank statements, jointly filed taxes, joint insurances (we have a lot of medical and car insurances), they were relaxed cracking jokes ,she briefly went through our album and I also had a small album with the little tickets , places we’ve visited together - she really liked that part- I only was asked questions from my I-485 : dob, place of birth , visa type and when I arrived , 5-6 yes/no questions and that’s it! In the end , she said everything looks good she had no more questions to us, but the system was not working and we were told to wait for an update! And just to note : we are a couple with a different ethnic background and a big age gap. Houston FO. If you still waiting , do a research, use any tools you can to help your case, and believe! I am sure you will be next approved!!! Ask me questions if you have any!GOOD LUCK!!!

I already have an approved i130. did my i485 interview yersterday 20th. they called only me in and left my hubby in the lobby. The officer asked few questions of my form and told me he needed to go through my i130 folder to make decision plus there system is down. we will get notified when he does. what is with the down system all the time? am hoping for a prompt decision
