Thank you, Can you describe a little bit about your Interviewer ?

@S Ka Can you please tell me how did the interview go? What questions about the relationship did they ask? What proofs did you submit etc? I will also have my iv in Newark hopefully soon. I will appreciate your response. Thank you :)

I have it typed already. Going to paste it in my next comment.

Newark FO PD 9/12/2019 married to USC Interview date 8:30 29th of March 2021 We got there at 8 in the morning with our lawyer. Did security check and were waiting to be called at around 8:45. Were called in at 9:10 - 9:20am First of all IO asked for my passport and my wife's license. Questions to me: What's your name? Where do you live? When did you get married? Then he checked in the file we had sent a lot of proofs and photos with our file. Did you ever go back since you are here? (I was in US in 2015 too, I told him. He asked since 2016 if I ever went back? I said no) If I have any family in the US, I told him. He asked 2 more times. Idk why. But I told him. Where do you work and what do you do? ( I told him he said my company name looks fake. I was like wait what ? :| What do you mean ?) What did my parents think of when we got married? Questions to my wife: Where does she work? When did I meet her parents? What did they say when we got married? We both are mechanical engineers. He said he feels jealous of us. Lol He dropped out of engineering. My wife was nervous she said yeah engineering is hard. (Dear IO if you are reading this she did not mean to insult you in any way. She was nervous. I was nervous. lol) Questions to both of us: What do we do in spare time? If we have any kids? If we plan to? ( we said no and we want to be more financially stable) Then some laughs here and there on Mechanical engineering. when did we both graduate He went through documents. Noticed we have been filing jointly since we got married. He looked at our both photo albums (One had captions and dates) Took some photos from the album, Noticed we have photos together with family for birthdays and graduations. Documents : Joint taxes investment accounts joint credit card statements joint lease joint bills (phone, internet, electric etc) joint bank statements health insurance car insurance paystubs In the end we got white paper saying case needs is held for review. He asked if we have any questions. I asked how we did. He said we did good. We should hear back from him in a month. Most probably less than a month. Our lawyer said we did good. i130 status still says "case received" i485 status still says "Interview scheduled" My EAD expired on the same day 29th of march. This wait is killing me. :(

on same boat but I had our interview in Albany New York

@humouda may I please know when was your interview? and what does your online status say?

my interview was 03/24/2021 online status say same yours

okay Thank you, please update here when you see any change. best of luck!!

I will thanks

@S Ka not sure about the answer to your question, but as far as I know your lawyer did not advise you correctly as any work without work authorization in hand is considered unauthorized work.. but if you are married to a US citizen, your unauthorized work is forgiven.. but I am not sure how that plays in with the yes/no questions. Good luck and keep us updated!

@katie Yeah, But if you apply for work authorization before expiration it gets automatic 180 days extension too. So idk how it plays out for me.

did you file i130 and i485 together?

yes I did

@Hunouda any update on your case ?
