NYC - Manhattan - May 20th, 2020 (XX123)
Married: August 2019
PD: May 20th, 2020 (130,485,131,765) (no medical exam)
Biometrics: Dec 17th, 2020
Case ready for interview: Dec 31st, 2020
Combo Card Aprobed and Received: Beggining March 2021
Interview Scheduled: Beggining March 2021 (a day after i765 aproved)
Interview day: April 22nd, 2021
Interview was 1pm, we got interviewed like 2.15pm, 4.45pm I got a notification my card is being produced.
The interview guy asked for our birth certificates, passports, marriage certificate and my medical exam.
Then asked for joint documentation: we had car insurance, travel tickets, credit and checking accounts statements, cell phone bill. I did not have a lease together and he did not ask about it neither but I guess it would be better having one. He went through it fast and then asked for our taxes this year and I handed him them. (he only kept the irs taxes as a prove) Skipped the photo album saying that the pictures we sent when we filed were enough (were like 10 pics)
Then the yes/no questions. Did not ask my about my illegal status and working without permit.
He asked if we have moved since we filed, we said yes, that it was updated online, he confirmed and wrote it down on the form. Because of that I needed to sign again.
Questions in between as a conversation:
-Where did we meet?
-Where do we live now?
-Why do we travel to the same states always? (because of family)
Not much... he ended saying if I get aproved I would get the conditional green card at the address we have on file. "You can go"
Yes, I was expecting more questions specially about us. It was fast. No problems at all. Never separated.
My husband is unemployed for one year now. No problems with the affidavit of support, no questions. I am working though. But again no questions.
I don t now what else to tell you. Feel free to ask!
Good luck :)

@IM waiting on biometrics. I see lots of comments about how slow Seattle is so I'm guessing its gonna be a long wait

@IM I have a social security card from years ago when I got a J1 visa but its only valid with work authorization visa
that guyApr 30, 2021
did you work without a permit? and it wasn't a problem?
also did he ask if you worked with authorization from form 485? what was your response?
