Interview Done,everything was fine thanks to god 🙏🏻 🇸🇻
Everything went well!!
Everything went well. First, they had me raise my right hand and take an oath. Then they asked me questions like my name, address, age, the date I first entered the country, where I entered, and whether I was inspected upon entry; after that, there was a whole bunch of yes-or-no questions. These were the security questions that appear on the I-485 application. Since I don't have a bad record or any DUIs, I answered "no" to about 90–95% of the questions. He was marking off each question as he asked it; the lawyer told me that sometimes they don't ask every single required question and skip a few, and in this case, he did skip some.
I struggled a little to understand a couple of questions because of his accent—it sounded African—but whenever I asked him to repeat a question, he did so without any problem; he was a nice guy.
Since the lawyer who accompanied me handles Special Immigrant Juvenile Status appointments, the officials already know lawyers like her; he would ask her questions and they would chat, which helped calm me down a bit.
In the end, he said I would receive a decision by mail, though he didn't know exactly when I'd get it because he had a heavy workload. Now, all that's left is to wait for the decision.
The lawyer said that the moment I receive the approval, I’ll officially be a resident and can start working again, even if the card hasn't arrived yet. Since my work permit is expired, she said she would look into whether I could keep working with that permit (I had applied for the permit at the same time as the residency), though I don't think so—Trump got rid of the automatic extension policy, unlike under Biden. To get in, I needed the interview appointment letter and my ID; we went through X-ray screening and then to a window where they took my photo and gave me a ticket with a number, and finally, the man who interviewed us called us over.
TODO SALIÓ BIEN!!
Todo salió bien. Primero me hicieron levantar la mano derecha y jurar. Después me hicieron preguntas cómo ni nombre,dirección,edad,fecha que entré al país por primera vez,donde fue, si fui inspeccionado al entrar al país,y después un montón de preguntas de si o no. Fueron preguntas de seguridad que aparecen en la aplicación i485. Cómo no tengo mal récord ni Dui dirá que el 90-95 de preguntas que hizo respondí que no. Cada pregunta que me hacía la iba marcando y pues me dijo la abogada que hay unos que no hacen todas las preguntas que tienen que hacer y se saltan algunas y en este caso se saltó algunas.
Me costó un poquito entenderle en un par de preguntas por el acento de el que es cómo de África pero cuando le pedía que me repitiera la pregunta me la repetía sin problema y pues buena onda el hombre
Cómo la abogada que fue conmigo se encarga de citas de visa juvenil cómo que ya los conocen ellos a los abogados y pues el le hacía preguntas a ella y se ponían a hablar y eso me calmó un poco
Y pues al final dijo que iba a recibir una decisión por correo solo que no sabía cuando la iba a poder recibir yo porque el tenía mucho trabajo que hacer y pues ahora solo toca esperar la decisión
Dijo la abogada que desde el momento que reciba la aprobación ya sería residente y que ya podía trabajar de nuevo aunque no me haya llegado la tarjeta todavia.Cómo mi permiso está vencido me dijo que iba a averiguar si yo podría seguir trabajando con el permiso(yo apliqué para el permiso junto con la residencia) aunque no creo porque lo de la extensión trump la quitó y no era cómo con biden Para entrar necesité la carta con la cita de la entrevista y mi id,después pasamos por los rayos x y después nos pasaron a una ventanilla donde me tomaron una foto y me dieron un ticket con un número y después nos llamó el hombre que nos entrevistó

July silent update on form I-485
Did anyone from the people who got the silent update in July heard back from USCIS or got any updates? by silent update I mean the same old notification appears with a new date. These silent updates are indication that the case was touched by an officer to probably refresh the background check, and get the application in the decision que. I’d like to hear from you if you got any updates further from the silent update.

INTERVIEW I-485
Hi everyone,
I have a question for those who have been through this.
Has anyone here ever received an I-485 interview notice while their I-360 still showed as pending (or before they ever received an I-360 approval notice)?
I recently received an interview notice for my I-485, but as far as I know, my I-360 is still pending. I’m trying to understand if this happened to anyone else and what the outcome was.
Also, if you’ve already attended your VAWA-based I-485 interview:
* What questions did the officer ask?
* Did they ask about the abuse or was it mostly about the I-485?
* Did they tell you at the interview whether your I-360 had been approved?
* How long was the interview?
* How long after the interview did you receive a decision?

Has anyone else here had the same issue?
My case was approved by USCIS, but it has not been transferred to the NVC yet.🥺🥺
My husband is a green card holder and he filed an I-130 petition for me on July 26, 2022. My case was approved by USCIS on January 21, 2026. However, the case has still not been transferred to the NVC.
We contacted the NVC to ask why we had not received a welcome letter, and they replied that they do not have our case in their system. After that, we contacted USCIS multiple times and submitted two inquiries, but there has been no progress or update so far.#greencard

HELP 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
hi guys, I just had an interview yesterday with my husband in NYC Immigration office in Manhattan. My husband is citizen, and he petitioned for my green card. The interview was like about 30mins-ish, and it went pretty quick. At the end of the interview, the officer gave us a white paper notice saying that “your case is being held for review, ……”, and then after few hours(same day) my USCIS account changed to “Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS” for both I130, and 485. can someone please let me know what that means? anyone has similar situation? please help, thank you!! 🙏🏼 #greencard #F2A #Citizen #NYC
I-751 (Divorce Waiver) Transferred Multiple Times – Now at Field Office, No Update
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my situation and see if anyone else has gone through something similar.
I filed my I-751 (Removal of Conditions) in March 2024 after getting divorced during my 2-year conditional green card period. My conditional green card expired in April 2025.
Here’s how my case has moved so far:
- Filed in March 2024 → initially sent to Texas Service Center (TSC) per receipt notice
- Around February 2025 → USCIS told me my case was transferred to Potomac Service Center
- As of today (April 23, 2026) → USCIS says my case is now at Omaha Field Office, with no updates or decisions yet
One thing that confuses me is that Omaha is not my local field office—I live in Texas
It’s been over 2 years since filing, and I’m unsure what these multiple transfers mean for my case.
Has anyone else had their I-751 (especially divorce waiver cases) transferred across multiple service centers and then to a non-local field office like this?
Did it lead to an interview or any specific outcome?
Any insights or timelines from similar experiences would really help. Thanks in advance!

My country is on the ban list, which includes 75 countries. My adjustment of status is currently in progress through asylum. Can this ban affect my adjustment of status? I entered the U.S. on a tourist visa, and my asylum case has been approved by USCIS.
