family-based green card approved at DC office
sent out the application on April 12, 2021
received green card today, April 11, 2022.
-interview-
The officer was nice, here are some questions she asked: (that I still remember)
dates of my entries and the reason
how and when I met my husband
the basic timeline of how our relationship develops
when did we start living together
how was our wedding
do we plan to buy a house in the future
do we plan to have kids
I followed the notice and prepared a folder with the front page that listed everything in order. I also printed out 34 photos that captured important moments in our lives. The interview was 15-20 minutes long and we were approved the same day after we left.
sharing my timeline with you all.

did you not have an interview?
noor shahApr 12, 2022
i am from DC F0 too, how many months after the interview did you get approved?? and was the lawfully daily prediction any helpful?
btw congratulations!!!!
Vicky HApr 12, 2022
yes I did. I added some details in the post.
noor shahApr 12, 2022
did you get approved on the day of the interview? still a little unclear
Vicky HApr 12, 2022
@noor shah, I got approved the same day I had my interview. I was following Lawfully’s timeline before but I was very stressed and worried if I was behind or such. so after I got my work permit last year in November, I didn’t check the timeline anymore. As long as I am not out of the timeline, I tried to focus on something else. So I would say for my combo card, the timeline was quite accurate. But I’m not sure about afterwards as I decided to have the mental break and focus on work.
noor shahApr 12, 2022
just wondering what took 8 months for the GC to arrive? :/ i mean if you had your interview in August.. or did you have it recently.. sorry for too many questions
noor shahApr 12, 2022
actually i had my interview on 10th December, it went pretty well..
the officer said i’d hear back in a months time and its been four months :/
noor shahApr 12, 2022
my timeline is pretty similar to yours, had my work permit in November.. but not news for my GC
Vicky HApr 12, 2022
@noor shah, no worries at all. it is a bit confusing on Lawfully. In the timeline, the “interview” on August 13 means “ready to be scheduled interview”, not my actual interview date. I waited until March 2022 to receive my notice said my interview is finally scheduled on April 2nd. If you had your interview in December already, maybe you should follow up with them to see if they ask for more documents or what’s going on. I hope this helps.

@vicky h how long did u have to wait for the notice after ur status changed to interview was scheduled
Vicky HApr 12, 2022
@Edwin chagz, my case is “ready to schedule an interview” on August 13, “interview is scheduled” on March 4, my interview was on April 2nd.
