Omg, somebody from Philly office got interview scheduled?! Can't believe in it. 

Our submitted date is February 6th and bio taken on March 6th. No notification yet ((( Getting crazy already sitting at home doing nothing  

 

Good luck, guys. 

Please write back how was your interview, what questions they will ask, etc. 

 

Thanks! 

 

Just an update - we got our interview notice yesterday (one week after the email) and we have an interview in the Philly office on May 29! Will update once it has been completed.

I did. That's how I knew a letter from USCIS was coming but I didn't know what it was about until I opened it.

Hey guys,

 

I will try to expedite my EAD, it's been 105 days and my F1-OPT expires in 2 months. I will try to call my congressman in Arkansas. Is there an specific one I need to contact or any congressman? How about the ombudsman? 

 

Thank you for your help.

At the end she said everything looks good. But she didn’t say approve or not. But she said I might need to provide court disposition for a Traffic ticket I had 3 yrs ago ( I thought traffic tickits don’t count grrr) All she said was we will hear in mail and if she needs anything extra she will sent a letter in mail. That was about it. I was hoping to get an approval on the spot 😞

Well, I finally had my interview today at Columbus field office. The officer walked out and looked at us, he came to say hi to us then said he only needed me into the interview and told my husband to wait outside. Below are the questions of my interview: 

 

- What is my birthday ? Address that I am staying now ?

- Yes no questions in the form I-485

- How did we meet ? 

(We did not have much evidences when we filed AOS, only my name on his health insurance and my name on his investment report. We also had very few pictures with his family in US because they live very far to the state)

 

- Then he said everything looked good but he couldn't give us an approval now. I myself offered him my husband newest tax but the officer said he didn't need it, everything fine.

- I asked the officer if he needed to interview my husband or not so I could go out and let him in but he said no.

- I also asked him about my status online, my case was actually family-based but the status online said Employment-based. He checked for me and he said no problem, I did everything good. Then he walked me out and wished me a great day, I wished the same to him. 

 

My status is now still showing Employment based interview...not change yet. I hope I could get approval soon.

Woke up today to notifications saying there was action taken on my case. Checked the tracker on the USCIS website - nothing. Then I checked myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov and it says that card is being produced!!! Yay!!!

 

3 months from filing to approval. Pretty good actually.

Congratulations! I have my interview on Monday. I am hoping for a quick approval!

Seems like it went ok. I have mine on Monday. I feel better now that you asked about the employment based notification!
