hey folks

I did my interview on Tuesday sept 18 and was approved on the spot! it was 9.45am appointment, we reached about 10 min before due to unexpected traffic, anyway we went through security checkpoints, take off shoe, belt etc, gave in our appointment letter and ID, they checked it and gave it back to us, sent us to a waiting room, where we waited about 20 min before we got called in, i was hoping a female would call us but instead it was a stern looking man, but i started to feel at ease when he saw my pregnant stomach, and started making jokes, that he scared of pregnant ladies, because one nearly had baby in his office, lol, the interview was very short and easy, lasted about 10min, he swore us in and looked me dead in the eyes, he didnt even look at hubby, then he took the i94, and also asked for the EAD but i told him i didnt receive it as yet, he asked me back the same questions on the i485, such as address, my name, DOB, my mothers name etc, as a matter of fact he didnt even ask question he read what was on the form just to verify the info, then he asked the yes/no questions, he did the same thing with hubby from his i130 form, he also asked hubby about what he did for a living, and he asked me if i worked also, only other question he asked was how long have we been together, he then ask for evidence, we gave him the lease, life insurance and bank account statements, rent receipts, thats all we had, he took them and put them on the file then he told us that he was gonna approve us, we were so happy i almost screamed, then he saw our albums and said let me look at a few pics, he just barely glanced through and gave it back to us, i doubt if he saw anything, he explained the ROC process, and that was it! we packed our stuff up and he escorted us out of his office, as soon as we were out of his sight me and hubby start jumping up and down like we were kids, lol, our journey has finally ended for now, after all the stress and worries, its really a nerve racking process

Thanks to visa journey and its members who have helped me along the way, i have gotten a lot of info from this site along with reading instructions, we didnt even used a lawyer, we did all the paperworks ourselves, we did a few free consultations with a couple lawyers but we realised that all they were going to do was to fill out the forms and send them off, something me and hubby could do ourselves for free! thanks again guys, and i will continue to offer my assistance on here.

CONGRATULATIONS...YOU GUYS DID IT!

We will be in that same office in less than a month!

I Would. All the evidence that I submitted before, I bring the original one to the interview.

thanks, I just didn't know if I should ... but I guess I will. I'm almost done with my collection of evidence, but my printer ran outta ink so I hope the ink comes in tomorrow.

First of all, You're adjusting from K1 visa, So you might not have interview.

Even if you are lucky enough to have an interview, Los Angeles office is very busy, so the wait it's gonna be a little longer than other people.

Hello! I am also a July filer!

I was looking at timelines and Im impressed at how fast processing is going!

Which is awesome! :-)

Now, I wonder why it is taking so long in my case to get

either the EAD approval or an interview letter?! :-(

I've been so anxious, I cant even sleep right!

Im assuming it has something to do with your RFE causing the delays.
