@Leela K, the #i485 interview experience was nice. The interview officer was pleasant; it was at Santa Anna field office CA. Arrived 15 min before for app time 7.15 am. officer asked general questions, mainly DOB, marriage date, number of kids, and place of birth. He verified all the information in the submitted I-485 form, made updates like recent entry date, verified I-94, and job change. I submitted Supplement J and the medical exam I-693. Went through all general eligibility questions. Pretty much the same for my wife and 16-year-old son. Hope this helps. Best of luck for your case.

@Palanisamy N, I understand your situation. Hope your case is next. I did not do anything from my end; I just waited for my turn. Maybe if your congressman is Republican, try creating a congressional inquiry about your case to nudge.
