Interview tomorrow! I'm so nervous.. Any advice from those who are done with their interviews ? 

 

Thanks!!

I haven't had my interview yet, but based on what I've read before here are some tips. Make sure both of you know the dates of when/how you met, got engaged, got married, last time either one of you visited the US or Philippines. Just basic important information. Make sure you know where the other person was born, their parents names. Proof of bonafide marriage - joint finances, lease, health insurance, phones, photos of family trips, photos together with other family members and so on. Bring your sealed medical exam if you haven't already submitted it. Bring 2016 tax return documents if you haven't already submitted those. 

 

Wish you the best of luck! It will go great.

 

Let us know about your experience! I'm particularly interested cause I'll be having my interview in Chicago as well in about 2 weeks.

Just a heads up, today I received my EAD 

Since April 7th my I-485 says -> Case is ready to be schedule for an interview.

I'm assuming it may take another 2 months of waiting until we get the interview date.

Congs! My 485 says the same as your , as of April 7 ,, really do we have to wait for two months to get an interview?

It depends on each individual person, you can receive a case update with the date of your interview tomorrow or wait a few months. Usually the green card process takes from 6 months to 9 months but of course it depends on a bunch of factors, thats why I said hopefully two more months to be over with the process.

It solely depends on the field office how fast you get an interview date. You have Orlando as a field office and according to the current VJ member data it took 185 days from filing to the interview date.

I tried to call uscis customer service since it's been 30 days since i last raised my SR and 120 days since my PD. Unfortunately, i got connected to a very rude customer service, she said i should not call again since my case is still under current processing time, that i should just wait. I asked her when is the best time to follow up?  she said NOOOOO you dont need to call again, she said it over and over again.   i just want to cry.

Are they backlogged again????

I would love to write applications and also to tell people that I can legally work in the US. I get turned down because of not having my work permit yet...

I guess so. Although the processing time says Feb 27, I know you filed a few days earlier than me, so I'm thinking they still have mounds of paperwork from earlier dates. Hang in there. Soon we will all be complaining how tiring our jobs are.

I am sorry for that  Yesterday I called USCIS and I also got connected to a really rude customer service. Her mic was not working properly and she just refused to repeat the questions. Is very frustrating how a few of these persons have no training dealing with people. Later I tried again and luckily a really nice person answered.
