Ok I’ll check online.. since I moved from where my lawyer is located (everything is sent to my lawyer address)... is it going to be the field office where my lawyer is located or at my new address.? Also can I send my medical via Mail if I receive a courtesy letter.? 
thank you so much for everything.

I had.an attorney but my physical address was used.. I don't know if it's going to be same with everyone else..my courtesy letter advised I come to the interview with the updated medicals..and not to mail it in..when you get yours read what it says..Different jurisdictions, different rules. I know someone from Chicago who had to mail hers before her interview. So yeah..💁 wait to get it first.👍

Hi All,

 

Please advise, My VAWA got approved Sept. 2019, I-485 was submitted concurrently with the VAWA in 2017,  I've been waiting for any update about my interview for my I-485 for 6 months now but haven't received any yet, is this normal or it is out of normal processing times? thanks and best of luck to everyone.

I was approved Aug 2019 and still waiting for my I485 interview. You can contact your congressman to inquiry about the i485, but i believe it's taking from 5 to 12 months to receive interview notice.

And how long does it usually take for the Senator's office to reply back ?

Hello dear, I have the same timeline with you. November, 2017 and approved on september 2019. The only thing we can do is wait, Because we are in the normal processing time. Don't worry, We will get our GC this year. @NianAm @John_ @Shroy123 Please update us whenever you have some kind of move on your case. God be with all of us!

Same timeline. My vawa got approved on Nov 19 and received approval notice on Jan 2020. Last month, I inquired through a congress person and I was informed my I485 is with NBC. within 2 weeks, i received RFE for birth certificate and responded last week. As of now, my status on I485 is rfe received and begun working on case. So hopefully, it will transfer to local office soon. Inquire with your congress person

Praise be to God almighty !!!   I did my interview today and my card has been approved. Interview time was 12:pm. I  arrived at 11:40 but wasn't called until 12:33pm. I was out by 12:50pm.   The female officer apologized and led me in.

 

Officer: How is your week going?

Me: I guess its going well and yours?

Officer: Can't complain. Did you do anything fun over the weekend?

Me: Not at all. I was indoors for the most part. Same ol.

Officer: Me too, I had laundry and cleaning to do. DO you have your medicals

after the swearing in

Officer: can I have your ID Pls.... 

I gave her my ID.   after a while 

Officer: Do you have your passport?

Me: No , I don't.

Officer: That's okay, I can pull up your details later. She returned my ID

 

The officer then went on to ask for my full names,  my parent's names, my current address, my address in my home country and then the i485 "NO" questions.

 

Officer: do you have anything to add?

Me: I'd love to change my last name if thats okay

Officer: Ofcourse,! Have you ever used the name before?

Me: No

Officer: Okay, Whats the name?

I said my name and she did some writing.

Officer: Any more question?

Me : None for now. 

Officer: That"s it. I will review your file and you will get an update withing 24 hours.

Me: sounds good.

 

We stood up and walked out.

 

On our way out...

 

Officer: Do you still work at ....

Me : Yes I do

Officer: How do you like it

Me: Not bad. I enjoy what I do.

Officer: I can tell you like it there.  Have a good week.

Me : You too

Can someone please clarify about the medical records. I heard that they last 2 years, but the civil surgeon signature is only valid for 60 days... Should I wait for the interview notice to get an exam, or should I do it now while I wait (probably 6-10 months or so)?

Always best to get it done when you have the interview notice.👍 be patient.

Got it, thanks! Just trying to be safe, cause I see some people get notices like 1 week before the actual interview, and I remember on the medical exams you have to do some weird tests and then wait for the results.
