Had an update on my status this morning... On both the I130 and the I485, both have similar wordings... Is it something to worry about? I already had my card 'being ordered' almost straight after the interview.

Case Approval Was Certified By USCIS

On November 13, 2015, we certified the approval of your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxxx, and sent it to the appropriate appellate office. That office will send you a final decision. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Our Interview is today (18th November) and I'm so nervous :( I'm thinking of all the worst case scenarios.

We're prepared as we can be, got a little folder together with all our documents. Been reading a lot of interview experiences so feel as though I have some idea as what to expect. Trying to keep positive and focus on plans for the future (and our first Christmas together)

How is everyone else doing?

Feeling very stressed out - she hardly asked me anything but fired most of the questions at my husband (who is the USC)

They want further evidence of our relationship and have given us 3 months - she didn't want to separate us as she believed our story but we just needed more documents. We just tried to go the lease company where we live and they were incredibly rude to us - they won't add me to the lease as I don't yet have a green card and they also won't even write a letter to state they can't add me to the lease....arggghhhh!!

We didn't apply for an EAD at the time as we didn't think it was something we needed.

I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions or any legal standpoints?

How long have u been married?

Since April; every time we have tried to add me to the lease they have stated that they don't know what to do or how to process it. They seem happy enough to accept our money every month though <_<

I've just applied for a state ID so hopefully that will help a little, we were hoping on moving house anyway but wanted to wait for the process to be over so thinking we will maybe have to move sooner rather than later so I can be added on to a lease.

We took a reasonable amount of evidence, just that they want more :( The things I expected to come up as issues were hardly mentioned, but she seemed to key in on my husband and on specific issue which was unexpected and irrelevant (don't want to go into too much detail on a public forum). Since the interview, everything we have tried to do since have been met with dead ends and we just feel so fed up :cry:

Now that the dust has settled on the interview and we're both in a better mind frame, we have a plan on what we need to sort out.

The interview was kind of weird though, we expected a format of ask hubby (USC) questions from I-130, ask me questions from I-485 and then ask about the relationship. Our appointment was scheduled for 2:15pm and we got called in earlier, sworn in and gave ID's. She confirmed our address and then all of the questions thereafter were focused on the relationship and mainly directed towards my husband, although asking me one or two things. I think she only asked me about 5/6 of the yes/no questions from the I-485.

We went through all the photos we bought with us and she was asking about them and then talking about the area, we also talked a little about the UK. She asked husband twice about whether he had visited the UK and seemed to talk about the K-1 for a bit and why we didn't go down that route. Considering there was nothing in our file that would indicate intent it was kind of weird.

She said she would need to see more evidence of co-mingling (despite us explaining extensively some of the issues we had - it's kind of a unique case and hard to explain) and gave us an RFE with 90 days to respond. She said she could separate us, but believes our relationship is legitimate so it would be pointless. She explained the process of Removing Conditions and then talked more about the types of evidence we needed to provide and because of our situation we'd need to be creative.

All in all, it felt very weird and we've both come away feeling really strange and confused. Specifically about the one thing she seemed to pick on.

Hi Leo7777

It is really a great information you posted here and I like the timelines you have given for each processing center y the priority date

I love to know where I can find the same timeline for all processing centers for priority date June 2015

It will be really helpful for me if you can provide it

Thanks

May Group, here is a listing of the progress for the February Group.

It may be helpful to you to note the very wide (even wild) differences in the progress of the individuals.

The EAD/AP cards are processed for the entire nation in one location, so there is some consistency in the timing.

However, the Green Cards are processed in local field offices so there are some extreme differences in timing.

You can never compare your experience with that of someone being processed in a different field office, and there can even be differences within the same field office. For instance, each applicant folder is assigned to different workers. Some work faster than others. Some go on sick leave. Some go on vacation. Some resign, etc., etc.

Hope everyone is doing alright and getting ready for Christmas ^_^

Any other May filers heard about their interviews yet?

We are still in the evidence gathering process for the RFE we received at Interview, feel like we have made some progress this week but we have come across so many people who have been incredibly unhelpful and even rude - it was disheartening but this week has made us feel much more positive.
