Case Approved Chicago Field Office!
Before the interview I was really worried. My wife and I were super nervous and prepared a huge folder, a mountain of evidence and photos.
However, after I got called into the interview office the process was simple. The lady was polite and nice enough, although somewhat curt.
She asked basic questions, took a few photos from our album and our joint bank statements and then approved the case on the spot. We kept trying to give her more evidence but she only wanted one or two things.
we are glad we overprepared rather than underprepared! I wish you all luck!

How long Your rfe response has taken to hear them back after you’ve submitted it?
Ale BridgeNov 16, 2021
GED, it took about 2 months after getting the interview ready to schedule status to get the interview scheduled status
Ale BridgeNov 16, 2021
My RFE took about a month
Ale BridgeNov 16, 2021
Abhi, please elaborate on your question. I am not entirely familiar with the status you described. At what stage in the process is this?
Ab KNov 17, 2021
@ale I meant, what were the different status’s on your profile? as in after you gave bio, what was you status and then how long did you stay on that status for before you were issued a combo card or your interview was scheduled.
