killian BayAug 13, 2025
@jacob lion That’s good, No update on mine yet. it’s been 28 days still at ready to be scheduled.
jacob lionAug 15, 2025
@killian Bay did you check your mailbox?
d sAug 15, 2025
@jacob lion Hey, I'm really sorry you're going through all this. But I was wondering, you said nothing changed in your online case status but you still got an interview date by mail, can I ask what the last update on your I-485 was?
Mine says: “The new office has jurisdiction” and it's been like that for 85 days now. I'm getting kind of worried because when I called USCIS, they said they mailed something to me but couldn’t tell me what it was. I'm afraid it might have been an interview notice and I didn’t receive it
jacob lionAug 15, 2025
@d s I got an interview notice after a few day when my case changed to interview is ready to be scheduled but it’s still the same on my online account but every case is different so please don’t be worried, contact with USCIS and try to learn from them and call post office and ask them about any letter from USCIS , your turn is coming soon 🙏
killian BayAug 15, 2025
@jacob lion I check everyday.

@jacob lion did you have your interview yet? happy Labor Day.

@jacob lion my interview has been scheduled

@jacob lion are you okay? please can you get back to me?

@killian Bay Hey, I just wanted to share a quick update with you. My interview went really well — the officer was very understanding and empathetic. Right now, my case status hasn’t updated in the system yet, but that’s completely normal. Sometimes it takes days or even a couple of weeks because of supervisor review and system backlog. So don’t stress if you don’t see changes right away.
For your own interview, the best thing you can do is make sure all your documents are organized and easy to access. The officer will likely ask you about:
• How and when you met your spouse
• Details of your marriage (dates, places, how you lived together)
• How your spouse passed away
• Your relationship with their family and children (if applicable)
• And then the standard yes/no questions from Form I-485.
They might also ask about your daily life together — things like where you lived, what activities you enjoyed, or how you supported each other. If you have photos, joint documents, leases, or financial records, bring them. It’s not about showing everything at once, but having them ready if they ask.
Honestly, the most important thing is to speak from the heart. They can see and feel when your story is real, and that’s what makes the difference.
Also, sorry for the late reply — I haven’t been checking this app much because I needed some time to clear my head.
Stay calm, prepare your papers, and remember: you’ve got this. 🙏
