is it normal that they approved my case without interview?
I filed my case in February with an online agency that helps you build your file (there was just a lot of paper that I didn’t know how to put together on my own). they must have done a great job! my case was approved so easily and fast that it’s almost suspicious! am I still expecting to have an interview? I also filed a I-131 for travel authorization and that wasn’t approved yet. how that works?

I had a lot of pictures, travel evidence, receipts, our wedding stuff (rings dress invitations contracts signed), joint financial things, and we had a lot of people write a letter for us. we asked all our friends and family to write down their full name and adress, the date of, date and place of birth and their experience with us as a couple. like for how long they’ve known us, what kind of activities we do together how often we interact and then conclude the letter with their thoughts on why we should be approved, their signature and their ID. I didn’t know about these letter before using Simple Citizen, but I’m pretty sure they really helped to show how many people support us! I hope it’s helpful!
