interview
so my lawyer got a notice for an interview for me (i485) vawa was approved 5 months ago. however it’s no updates on the uscis website nor here on lawfully.
question for those who have gone already what did you take? cause on my letter it’s saying take my birth certificate, birth certificate for kids if I have any etc. I want to know if this is normal.
also what were u asked. I’m going to the nyc field office

@rr flaw yes, it’s normal for them to ask for documents just make sure you take the originals (to show them take back with you) and copies for them to keep. The interview should be straight forward, review your i-485 and make sure if you’ve ever been arrested or cited make sure to bring copies of those dispositions and or paid tickets and if you’ve ever worked without authorization make sure you tell the truth they already know you’ve worked.
They shouldn’t ask about your vawa but some IO overreach, incase they do keep it very high level - when you meted, when you got married, when you lived together, when abuse started, current status -separated, divorced etc they’ll ask if you’re still in contact with the abuser. Best of luck!

no renewal of medicals?
rr flawAug 30, 2025
@Good vibes For ever no I just sent that in 2 months ago
Hopefully hopefulAug 30, 2025
@rr flaw Same thing with me. Got interview notice in mail without update on case status. Take every document related to your Vawa case and all notices. Review your I485 application form. Review your Vawa personal statement and details of marriage and abuse. Make sure you are truthful with the Yes and No questions (Work, Overstay, Criminal record Etc). Dress code: Business Casual or Business. I was all suited up. I got approved same day after interview. Good luck and stay blessed.

@Toya V how did it go
Toya VSep 8, 2025
@rr flaw My experience was great, interview lasted 5 minutes, only question I was asked were if I was divorced and did I bring my children birth certificate. After the officer told me I was approved and I should receive my card in about 2 weeks.
