I would go ahead and find that job and then send the offer to USCIS so they can start the expedite.

You'll never know unless you ask

 

I'm assuming you'll be looking for a professional job, if that's the case, you should tell them you're trying to expedite during the interview.

There are apps to check your status, I'm using one called USCIS app, it notifies me when cases similar to mine get touched.

I’m finally ready to share our AOS interview experience on July 26th in Baltimore, Maryland 

 

Timeline : NOA1 - May 3d, Biometrics -June 4th, AOS interview - July 26th

 

So my husband (US citizen) and I ( applicant) gathered all the needed documents from the list sent by USCIS. ( we got letter with interview date one month ahead) Our appointment was on July 26th at 4:00 p.m ( which is the time when office closes). We came there earlier , registered at 3:30 and started waiting ( advice here: if you have appointment closer to the end of the working day- DONT be late, they won’t let you in) . At about 4:15 officer called me by name , my husband and I headed to the door and here a very weird thing happened: she said: “ I need only Maria( applicant)  for this, you ( husband) can stay here, in the waiting room “ 

That is what made us VERY confused, as we’d never read anything like this before . 

 

After those words, I went with the officer to the interview room and was told that I’ll be videotaped and that the reason why she hadn’t called my husband is  that I’m the applicant for this form and she needs only me to answer the questions. The interview itself went as I expected except for the first few questions :

• if I had my original I-129f form( which I obviously didn’t have, because it was in the sealed envelope which I had given to the officer at POE ) . This made me confused but later we figured it out 
• If I had my EAD ( which I didn’t have too, and I thought they knew it) 

 Then questions were basic: she went through all I485 form, checked literally every question there, including what my Social Security was , when we got married, where , what are our DOB, where I lived before , etc. There is no need to go further, as I was asked every question in the form. Then she headed to the section with YES/NO questions ( it was the longest part of the interview). Finally she asked if I wanted to add anything that can help , I gave her our BGE papers , joint bank statement , insurance papers , a few photos from different occasions , and a letter/invitation to the wedding from our friends ( with both our names and address ). Then she said it would be enough 

 

P.S when she was going through the form she made a few corrections there and in the end I signed that I confirm all the corrections mentioned . She also wrote down some of my answers in details ( like 

If We want kids in future, what are our plans for the coming 10 years , etc.) 

 

In conclusion , she gave me a standard paper , which says that “ your case is being held for review”). I asked if our case seems fine to her. She said she can’t make any decision yet and we should wait for updates online. That was it , after the interview , in like 30 minutes , our case updated to “interview was completed and your case must be reviewed “ , since then no updates yet... today is August 8th . Still waiting ! 

 

P.S we tried to find similar cases , where only applicant was questioned, and we did find some people with the same situation , but rare cases. 

 

We hope this review helps . Good luck to all of you, guys:) any questions are welcomed

Thank you for sharing! Seems like a very detailed interview, asking questions what are your plans in next 10 years is pretty intense 😟

Do you overstayed in the USA before ? Or she is doubting your relationship? Are you and your husband have big difference , like age ? Culture? Religion? 

Maybe you should contact your Congress man
