here’s our timeline! approved without interview
approved without an interview in California field office (San Diego)! we’ve been married almost a year, but my husband has been in the US for 6 years on two work visas. he got his EAD approved the month before we got our approval. we didn’t get any email or anything, so lawfully was the first to alert me it was approved.!! the I-130 was approved first early in the morning and then tbe I-485 came through as approved later in the afternoon. we then got a notification 3 days later the card was being processed and it arrived within 3 days after that! it was a quicker and more seamless process than I anticipated. we had many sleepless nights especially without the work visa, but I promise you it’ll all come through. he hasn’t been home to his family in Brazil in 6 years so we can’t wait for that. happy to answer any questions :) stay hopeful!

WOW! Congrats. you've been married for less than a year and got interview waived? any kids or was your application submitted with all evidence?

@S Caves Mine was also waived but mine is conditional (no kids, just joint bank accounts, vehicle, pictures, etx). I believe if you provide enough evidence they will waive it for conditionals due to the backlog.

yes! interviewed waived, we proved all the evidence up front. we had almost 40 letters of friends and family about your relationship ship, joint bank accounts, shared life insurance, he’s on my health insunrace from work, shared phone bill, lease and utilities together, car insurance shared, tons of pictures and then receipts from travel, wedding vows and speeches.
