First of all Congratulations! You are almost towards the finish line. I recently had my interview as well but my questions were very casual. Just asked me what my job was in and what I will do. I was done in about 5 minutes, guess it depends on the visa officer. Again you cannot be overqualified for EB3 EW so nothing to be worried about. I have 2 masters myself so I was prepared if they asked me about it. The status for me changed in around 3 days. Plus you have already worked for your sponsor so that’s something that proves that you are serious about this. In my case I have not worked for my sponsor.

thank you for your sharing. I am currently not working for my sponsor. I am scared if I have an interview. I heard your sharing and I feel not much worry now! my PD is Feb 2021

@Mark White Thanks, I was kinda worried after the interview but later realized that I have submitted all the documents like EVL 485J and legit sponsor so I stopped worrying lol. So I’m sharing so that others can get some insight about the interview and what to expect.

Could you please let me know how much did you paid for 485J submission?

@PD Sep 21 2021 I didn’t pay for it. It’s free

@PD: Oct 2021 thank you so much! I’m also not currently working for my sponsor. I think I remember when you mentioned in other post about skilled job. did they ask you about it?

@PD: Oct 2021 in my case, I worked for my sponsor for a year but I told them that I need a break.

@GB B currently working in skilled field it’s been 3 yrs almost since I last worked for my sponsor

@PD: Oct 2021 same here 🙌🏻 did the office asked about your current job? if yes, what did you say?

@PD: Oct 2021 Did they ask anything about your skilled job? Also did you submit the i485J from previous employer or new one?

@GB B @EB3 Other Workers I told where I work in skilled position. then he asked where and how much I earn? the 485j is still from my sponsor employer they are willing to rehire me. I told interviewer I’ll work for my sponsor after my gc is approved

@PD: Oct 2021 you told because he asked or you provide the info randomly ? I’m just wondering if USCIS already knew about your new job ( last question promise lol )

@PD: Oct 2021 are you using your Ead for the skill job?

@tribal chief yes I am

@GB B haha he asked me if I have applied other jobs so I mentioned I’m temporarily working in a skilled position. then he asked the company name, location and pay.

@GB B the officer asked me a lot of questions lol

@PD: Oct 2021 OMG! I’m on the same same situation. waiting 67 days for them to schedule my second interview. I’ll definitely get ready for those questions! thank you again and Please keep us posted

@GB B what is your scenario? why second interview? what was your case update before the second interview came up?

@tribal chief I’m still trying to figure out. case remains pending during the retrogression - they sent medical RFE March and then case is ready to interview . I had a first one in 2022. everything f was okay

@tribal chief I have other friends from the same sponsor ( Taco Bell : BDV ) getting a second other approved already . impossible to understand

congrats 👏

hi @GB B are you getting 2nd interview?

@yellow banana 🍌 yes :( case is ready to interview to be scheduled ( 68 days on this status ) already called tier 2, congressman, but nothing so far

@yellow banana 🍌 wow! I had my interview back then in June 2023. Have worked for sponsor and left due to health issues. I got crp Nov 2023. I wish you will get approved soon.

@yellow banana 🍌 me too friend! wishing the same for you. thank you

don’t worry the status will change once you become current so just relax and don’t think a lot

@PD: Oct 2021 since you are not current yet, they’ll put your status back to CRP if everything goes well. when i had my interview done, and pd wasn’t current, they put my status CRP right after i walked out of the office.

@eb3 other are you approved now ??

@January 2021 unfortunately not yet. made multiple e service requests got nothing but generic response. been current for 7 months now.

@eb3 other what’s your pd

@January 2021 December 2020

@eb3 other did you apply alone or with your wife)?

@January 2021 with my spouse.

@PD: Oct 2021 Oh, your lawyer didn’t charge you? Thanks for letting me know! My lawyer has been gradually raising even FedEx fees these days, so I’m worried about how much they’ll charge me when I need to file the 485J.

@eb3 other i wish you all the best am the same case as you my pd is January 2021 i added my spouse later on the case I have not received any rfe or interview yet i been current for 7 months did you add your spouse later or was she added at the same time as you

@PD Sep 21 2021 are you working for your employer? what’s your case status

@January 2021 she was added at the same time.

@eb3 other good luck i wish uou all the best mind i added her later on the process

any update yet?

thanks for sharing. what did you say to this question? Why I chose an unskilled position despite having a bachelor's degree.

@Mark White Congratulations! May I know where you’re from? I’m from the UK.

@PD: Oct 2021 any updates on your status?

@GB B Surprised to receive a big fat RFE notice. I already submitted 485j and EVL during interview but they’re requesting it again plus all employment history since last arrival, W2, address history with proof like utilities bill or something to prove you stayed there, copy of contract with BDV

@PD: Oct 2021 😖😖😖 so tired of them!!! what’s your country?

@GB B from Nepal. Any update on your case?

@PD: Oct 2021 I have so many friends from Nepal working with my sponsor!!! no updates 80 days case is ready to interview to be schedule ( second interview ) pretty sure they messed up with my case

@PD: Oct 2021 hey friend! any success with your RFE?

@GB B Lawyer is reviewing documents for RFE. Lawyer is taking long time for the response

@PD: Oct 2021 wishing all the best! our situation is very similar that’s why I want to have some idea. thank you so much for sharing

@PD: Oct 2021 hey there! did you have any problems with BDV/sponsor siginjng your J because you were no longer working? they told me that they will only sign if I’m currently working or rehire process?

yeah that’s what BDV said to me. I told them I’m still willing to work with my sponsor after green card. After that, BDV said they’ll talk to the sponsor and see if they’re willing to rehire me and told me I have to look for another sponsor on my own incase my sponsor doesn’t want to hire me. But luckily they were willing to hire me so I got the 485j signed by them

@PD: Oct 2021 awesome! I kind said the same.. how long did it take for envoy to finish the supplement J for you?

@GB B kind of late like two days before interview. you just keep messaging them, let them know it’s urgent and interview is near. double check your Supp J, make sure everything is filled out and correct so you don’t get RFE again after interview like me for Supp J

@PD: Oct 2021 any update? you pd is not even current yet and they still asking so many things

@PD: Oct 2021 did you get the RFE again for supplement J? they didn’t raise any questions about the contract from BDV. that’s a relief atleast.

@MZ A still preparing for the rfe, I did get rfe to submit the contract with BDV
