Employment based interview experience
Filing: EB1-C
Scheduled for interview at 1:15 PM (Mar 2022) at Jacksonville, FL.
- I(primary applicant) went with wife and 2 kids and are scheduled for the same time
- Entered at 12:55 pm and finished the security check
- Checked in showing the interview notice at front desk
- They gave us the token number and indicated we may be called in a group of 2 and 2 like 1 parent and one kid
- We were asked to wait at the waiting area
- Officer called by my name at 1:20 pm
- He got us to his office room, introduced himself and indicated “I will be making the final decision on your case”
- He took an oath from all of us that we will tell only the truth
Here are the Questions
- Who is the primary applicant?
- Handover me all the documents that you brought with you
- I handed over Employment verification, salary confirmation and promotion letters
- Give me all your ID documents like passport, state Id, driving license, EAD, AP, etc.
- Confirm your address (while he was looking into one of the ID documents)
- After verifying the ids with the application and file for every applicant, he returned all the IDs back to us.
Let's start with the Kids
- Name, birth date and birth place?
- Any changes to be made since the time you applied for AOS like address, SSN, etc.?
- After verifying the application, he asked one of the parent to sign for them
The officer mentioned, kids are done and they can even go out and wait as the parents interview might be boring for them
To both of US: He opened my wife' and my file, side by side
- Do you have any nicknames?
- Name, birth date, birth place, address?
- Since when are you staying in that address?
- Confirm your SSN
- What is your current status? Previous status?
- Were you out of status at any point in time?
- Have you worked without a valid visa or work permit?
- Parents' name and birth place?
- Previous marriage and kids with others?
To Wife: Any change in employment?
- She told all about the change in employment as she started to work after getting the EAD based on AOS
- What is the company?
- Where is it?
- Since when are you working there?
- What is your title/role? Pay?
To Me:
- What is the company you are employed with? Title? Role? Current Pay?
- When did you join the USA? What was your Pay then?
- Where were you working before? How long?
- What was your role before joining the US company?
To Both of us:
- Went through the 8 page questionnaire and mentioned that I'm going to ask once and you both have to respond
- Instead of going through each of the questions, he summarized and asked one question per sub-section.
- If I remember correctly, they are about
- Any group or organizations we are associated with?
- Worked or trained in the military or forces or using weapons?
- Involved in Prostituition, trafficking, etc?
- Any criminal activities or harming anyone, etc?
- Have you committed any crime even if it is not cited, filed, etc?
- Have you ever voted or registered to vote?
- Have you ever claimed to be a US citizen to avail benefits?
We are done here and you people can come and sign. Do you have any questions for me?
Then I asked the officer, when I can expect the next update.
The officer mentioned probably today and will let you know if we need any more documentation.
Then he escorted us back to the waiting area.

Anyknow if it means my interview will be waived
update
my 485 was approved two weeks after I mailed my medical. the card is sending to me. Brooklyn folks, there is hope!
PD 3/26/2021 Brooklyn NY
I just received updates on my i130 and it showed that the case was approved. I didn’t submit medical with the package and got a 693 RFE last year.
For people who are in Brooklyn and recently got interview waived. Did your i130 show updates before i485?
thank you!

Interview completed
my spouse and I just finished our interview in Atlanta field office. the officer was really straight forward. she called us in by our number, we got into the office and instantly made us swear the oath. as we stood I could see our documents submitted infront of her desk. she asked me if I have an id from the state I had my daughter. I said no. she instantly asked us what documents we have together and we handed her a whole bunch of neatly organized documents including joint bank accounts, joint credit cards statement, life insurance, health insurance, our new lease we will be moving into early next year(she didn’t understand why we have a renters insurance whiles we haven’t moved in yet-she was shaking her head which was really unprofessional) my spouse explained to her that it was normal and we will move in. she asked what if we don’t move in and we insisted we will move in.🤦🏻♀️ then she asked me his dad and mum’s name, his date of birth. she asked him my name, my date of birth, how and where we met and why he was with me whiles I was pregnant. like really??? she asked my current employer, she asked the name and date of birth of my baby father which I told her I don’t know his date of birth cos we wasn’t together for long because it was a toxic relationship and after I found out I wasn’t gonna abort my child. just few basic questions then the yes and no questions. we both signed,then she said we will receive a notice in the mail. I wished her happy thanksgiving and she said thanks you too. she definitely doesn’t look like she’s a happy face kinda person. real straight face but my spouse and I was good, nice and polite to her. case is updated to being reviewed but hopeful for good news soon.

GC Interview Timeline
My biometrics was scheduled on 5th of October, and the case status was updated on the same day to show that fingerprints were taken. How long until the portal is updated to show ‘Interview is scheduled’? My service Center is Lee Summit (National Benefits Center). Just wanted a timeline so I could schedule my I693 Medical exam. Also, will the combo card be processed before the interview? #i765 #i485 #i693 #i130 #interview
