Finally, it’s my turn. It hasn’t been easy full of tears and pain, but I finally made it. Here’s my timeline: PD: 06/2021 Filed I-485: 02/2022 Case transferred from Texas to NBC: 04/2022 05/2022: Submitted inquiry via USCIS website 05/2022: Received second medical RFE from non-local FO (I also submitted my first medical concurrently with I-485) 06/2022– 06/2025: Retrogression 05/2025: Submitted e-request inquiry (no response until 08/20, when I already knew my interview date) 06/2025: Contacted my area Congressman to submit inquiry 06/27/2025: Received response (generic answer) 06/17/2025: Filed mandamus lawsuit 07/19/2025: Fingerprints updated 08/05/2025: Interview waiver eligibility cancelled 08/06/2025: Case requested to transfer to FO 08/08/2025: Case moved to FO 08/15/2025: Interview scheduled 08/29/2025: Court deadline; USCIS requested first extension till 09/29 09/09/2025: Interview Questions they asked me: When did you come to the U.S.? Which schools have you attended? Show transcripts (they reviewed each semester) Who paid your tuition? Have you graduated from university? When did you start working? When was your EAD approved? Before working for your sponsor, did you ever work illegally? Describe your job, sponsor name, how you knew this sponsor, and start date They checked all my W-2s and keep all my W2s returned all 1040 tax returns They asked to keep all my 1099 from all my side jobs Verified sponsor info: name and address Have you ever left the U.S.? (They asked for Form I-131) Asked to see birth certificate Why did I sue USCIS? 😅 Why didn’t you bring a lawyer today? Do you have a medical exam? (old one expired) Then 30–40 yes/no questions Finally, they typed the information into the computer, stamped “approved,” said the card will arrive in 2 weeks, and congratulated me—starting today, I am a permanent resident. Status in the app changed to ‘New card is being produced’ as soon as I stepped outside. Don’t be afraid ,everyone will reach their destination with a bit of luck. Good luck everyone, and Vietnam ƠI CỐ LÊN 🤞

Vawa Greencard Interview Exerience

Hello Everyone. Today was my Vawa I485 interview day. I arrived on time all suited up! Went through security and checked in. Interviewer was a very nice and kind lady. She Swore me in and then asked me if I was aware of the case filed for AOS. She asked me to give her a brief summary of my vawa and then gave me my I485 file to go through and make any corrections. Of Course I made corrections answering Yes to working without authorization and violating non immigrant status. That was all. She gave me a paper stating that my case was being held for further review and I would be getting updates in the mail. Well, About an hour later, I got a status update😎😎😎 New Card Being Produced😎 Good Luck to everyone still in the process.

Next message section is confusing

Hello guys! Hope all is well. I am just wondering about the “Next Message section” if it is accurate? In my case, it keeps updating. First, was New Card is being produced. Second, RFIE. Third, a New Card is being produced. Now, the Case was updated to show that fingerprints were taken. It is confusing!🫤 I did my biometrics last Feb 2023. It’s showing on my case history that it was taken last Mar 2023. But the actual status right now is CRP for over 2 years. Has anybody experienced this situation? Thank you in advance!
