INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE
We were separated from the get go. IO asked us 6 questions along with few questions from the submitted forms.
- Does your spouse has tattoos? how many?
- What is the size of the bed?
- Do you have lock on your letter box?
- What is the color of your front door?
- Do you have ice maker in refrigerator?
- how much is your rent?
IO didn’t ask for any additional documents. we had hired Boundless to help us filling. At the end of the interview, we were given 120 days review paper. Fast forward to March 2022, we reached out to our senator for help, since we hadn’t heard anything about our decision. Senator rep said we have to waiting until we cross posted the processing time. we then reached out to our local congressman since my father was not doing well back home. congressman was great help for us, they filled an inquiry on our behalf. On a very next day, RFE was issued. RFE was about proof showing my attendance at the school I was enrolled in. My SEVIS was active until December 2021. IO never asked for any school documents during the interview so we were bit puzzled with RFE. Even though it was simple RFE, we hired a lawyer to send our response. RFE was issued on April 8, 2022 and RFE response was delivered on May 12, 2022.
We asked congressman to put another inquiry on June 1st,2022. Congressman didn’t receive a response until June 29, 2022, the response from USCIS was “case has been assigned to an officer for adjudication”. we didn’t hear anything back whole month of July and half of August. we were trying to see what other options we had to get a decision. Even though we had lost all the hopes, congressman put another inquiry on August 1st, 2022, and our cases were approved on August 18,2022.
The whole experience took all the strength I had in me. Our mental health was affected tremendously due to the long wait and being away from our family.
Meditation, prayers and keeping our minds distracted in something more productive was very helpful. please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Family!
Finally, my journey is over.
Sharing my timeline and happy to share any information you might need.
Below is a summary of the info we don’t have in my timeline.
My medical exam was done on May 18th, and besides I got the hepatitis B vaccine, the doctor didn’t show it in my form and put it as “not age appropriate “.
Because of issues about this vaccine with a lot of people, I attached my Walgreens vaccine shots.
On July 20, 2022, my case was transferred to NBC.
The RFE on 8/11/2022 was about the medical exam.
The other RFE on 8/17/2022 was about the medical exam, as well.
I sent them my medical exam on 8/18/2022 evening (priority mail).
They received my medical exam on 8/19/2022 morning in Boston (I am in Texas).
But they never updated the website with that.
My husband is under my application, and he hasn’t received the RFE for his medical exams.
We are waiting for that.
Thank God, and I wish luck to all of you.
We know how this is so stressful.
God bless everyone!

HELP CONFUSED 😕 I-130
I’m a bit confused on my petitioner file. All of the files were shown as approved, even got the message that says all documents have been received and approved “ Documentarily Qualified” but then a few days later it said incomplete again on a tax paper that was submitted and got approved but now says incomplete again. It does still show approved on the paper submitted. Should I submit the same paper again? Or is it an error ? Or leave it as is ? Since they sent me the message that I’m documentarily qualified.
I’m worried that NVC will see it as incomplete and won’t give us a date for the interview.
VAWA Green card being produced !
To everyone on here ! Thank you so so so much for all the support throughout the most crazy and painful process of my life. Today is the day my status changed to ‘new card being produced’ and I don’t even know how to handle myself. I am elated! Anyone with questions, please ask away because I know how the struggle feels, but please do not give up! You guys are next ❤️
