Thanks, did your I-130 ever change? My case status online became card produced- then case approved around 7pm. I know it may be an unnecessary worry but the I-130 remains at case received. is that normal?

Yep, mine changed to Case Approved same time as I-485 but that happened next day or even a couple of days after "Card Being produced". So I don't think there is anything to worry about at all:)

This said, I've just realized looking at the forums that people with November Pd are getting theirs already so that's not ? correct.

I am on another thread and reposting this:

Hi everyone, I just got the time to update after the interview. I had to catch up with realities of work and make up for the focus that I so lost. 

Regarding the medical, I saw a post on the previous page that it is counted from the day the application was filed- not on the day the medical was signed or done—that is correct. However, if you feel safer and if the dates of your interview and the medical expiration is too close or overlapping, I suggest to waste money on being sure, because IOs may treat things differently. On another forum, there was person who was denied because the RFE for the medical was not sealed properly and lab report was sent with it. So make sure that it is included in there when you need to bring one. 

 Our interview went well, more of a conversation and counseling session, there was no structure or outline when I try to remember, there was no what-is-your-favorite food tricky or trivial questions. We were asked how do we resolve our arguments- I was taken aback because I didn’t expect that type of questioning, the only ‘basics’ that were asked were when was the last time you entered US, where do you work, -they were not ‘cross-directed’ at us, the IO asked information about me and directed to me. The IO was nice. I suggest that people dress nicely and professionally, I think it has an impact on how your interviews are handled too. We were not approved on the spot verbatim-ly but it was implied. She said you will recieve great news in 3-5 days. I guess they cant upfront make that decision. We got text notifications in the evening and the next day. 

Just FYI- we did not adjust from K1- so prepare accordingly, meaning the questions might be different and the structure of the interview might be different. Bring along all the correspondences of you have history of arrest, history of divorce, or other complexities because they will be asked- just an observation from recent interviews I read. File tax joint returns if you can now, it will help with the evidence too. 

 If you have specific questions- please ask me I would love to answer them.

She did not ask specifically for anything, she just said something along the lines of 'what do you have for me', that's when i opened and handed in the joint copies. My husband handed in the photos that we have, but she didnt really specifically asked for anything in the joint evidences. Only the originals of the birth certificate and the passport that she specifically asked for.:)

It gets transferred to NYC not long before the interview gets scheduled.

 

My 1-30 have been transferred to new york local office last month from NSC after 6 months waiting, my pg is august 2nd 2016, I haven't heard anything from local office, I went to the queen's field office with my husband last week, they filed an inquiry for us.

May I ask you how long have you been waiting after you transferred to new york local office?  we just filed 1-30 , haven't file 1-485 yet.

Thank you !!!

i actually never got an update about my case being transferred, I just got an interview notice about a month before the inverview (8 months after we filed)

Which visa are you adjusting from? If that's a K-1 then you might get your interview waived altogether.

Thank you so much for the quick response, what is your interview for? for 1-30? or 1-485? i only filed 1-30, i have another case going on, so i am waiting for i-30 approve to close that case, then i can apply for marriage GC, it is such horrible waiting,
