Hi everyone! I just wanted to give an update that my I-485 just got approved after the interview yesterday. The I-130 isn’t approved yet and it’s still under actively review. Hope I can receive an approval soon! I am happy to answer any questions!

@A B They verified my name, birth date, address. Asked for joint documents. To my husband the officer asked his name, birth date, how we met, if he's working right now. That was it!

@rashid ibrar I said no because I never worked without a permit. I did CPT and got it authorized so other than that, never worked in the US.
