Hello nov.VJ!

So many people are getting interview dates :D that's great to see. We are waiting on ours still-

No notice or update since our case changed to testing and interview (01-08-14)

Hoping to get a letter or notice soon.

Do you think the delay could be because we filed I-130 seperately before i485&i765 packet?

EAD still in initial review since dec.

Best wishes <3

It is a possibility But I spoke with the uscis to enquire about my EAD and they told me the cases get separated. So my i765 isn't in the same pile for my i485 maybe that's why my AOS is moving quicker than the EAD .

My wife and I have our interview later this month. For those that have had interviews, what kind of evidence did you bring along? Anything that proved to be particularly useful, that wasn't already in the first bundle of documents you sent?

Thanks!

Had our interview today and got approved!! Our interview was in Jacksonville at 9am and we got there at 8:30 just to make sure no issues with Traffic, There were about 4-5 parties there ahead of us. They started seeing folks promptly at 9am. The lady came and got us around 9:05 and brought us to her office. She asked my wife (USC) for her ID, me for my passport, my wife for her passport or birth certificate, (she had her passport), then asked for the marriage certificate, she checked the authenticity, she asked for my birth certificate.

She asked how we met, (we met online) she asked how long after we met online did we meet in person. I stated the tuesday, she asked how long we dated.Then she asked for proof of our marriage, I provided our joint bank account, we explained that we live separate at this time and she asked why and we explained that my wife got a job in Atlanta and moved early last year, so we have been long distance for a while. She asked why I haven't moved and we explained that because of the time sharing I have with my son's mom, I have to let her know and I shared with the IO an email I sent to my ex-wife and the proposed time sharing plan. She asked if we got a reply and I stated that she (ex wife) stated that she would reply in 30 days (feb 12th) so no response yet. I guess she had doubts as she asked about joint leases and insurance and life insurance. One thing that we probably should have done is bring the beneficiary page for both of our life insurance, so for those with interviews, try to bring that as I believe that showing that your spouse will be your beneficiary helps.

She then asked for pictures and I think that helped our case as we had ~30 pics from several different dates from Dec 2012- December 2013. We also shared with her our wedding photo book which had around 100 pictures, she asked how many guests we had at our wedding. She asked me to verify my DOB and address, then she went through the questions on the I-495 form, (the ones that you say no too) Then she said I am approved. Asked us both to sign and that I should receive the Card within 60 days but typically earlier, and that its conditional and that I need to file the I-751 within 90 days of the expiration of the conditional green card, So I can file the I-751 starting on 11/7/2015, (November 2015 filers!!!)

(no questions on meeting the parents or who proposed, or where was our wedding)

All the best to everyone, looking forward to seeing all the approval posts!
