Had the interview this morning. The officer was very nice and even laughed with us a couple of times. She apologized for the delay (we waited for an hour and a half to be called) and after the oath she asked both of us questions about the I-485. She was just making sure that what we said was what it was written down on the form. After doing this, she asked my wife basic-where did you guys meet, where did you get married, who went to the wedding-kind of questions.

 

The officer told us that since my wife's naturalization interview is next week, she's going to "pause" our case until she takes care of that. I'm confused on why she did that because according to the visa bulletin I am eligible for a green card, but I did not wanted to argue with her, so I just nodded. Also, the officer asked me if I still go to the same school. She explained that she had to make sure I kept status all the way until the interview. I think she can be mistaken here and our lawyer confirmed it when I called him after the interview. We would've loved to have our lawyer go with us to the interview but we couldn't afford that extra charge. Anyway, besides that, we felt the interview went great. Even though we brought a binder full of evidence, the officer only requested both of our IDs (passports and drivers licenses) and my last I-20 since I came in with an F-1 visa. No bank account statements, no letters, no affidavits, no evidence whatsoever except a quick look at the phot album we brought and from there she took about 10 pictures (the ones we were with more family members) and asked us who were they, and that was pretty much it.

 

The officer told us that she had to talk to her supervisor to check on the I-20 thing and gave us a letter saying "Your case is being held for review. At this time, USCIS does not require any further information...". My case status hasn´t changed from "Interview was scheduled". Guess we just have to wait more time 🥺

Not much of an update but through EMMA, I just learned that my I-485 case is finally in the local field office (no update on appointment though).


It’s just a matter of how quick (or rather how slow) the Charlotte, NC office is now... :)

I feel like they have not been quick for me at all lol biometrics took a long time to be scheduled and no interview scheduled yet! late august 2020 priority date

Very unfortunate but that is usually the case. Are you also at Charlotte as your field office?

As an update for everyone, I had my AOS interview at the Chicago field office. To summarize it:  nothing to worry about.

 

We showed up 20 minutes before but were only allowed in 15 minutes before so we waited a bit. Went up to floor 2, showed our interview notice and were seated. We waited about 30 minutes before being called. Once in the interviewers office  it was smooth sailing. He asked us for our marriage license, birth certificates, passports, drivers license and the deed to our new house for the change of address. The questions he asked were basic: Where did you meet? When did you get engaged? When did you first start dating? 

 

He must have only asked us maybe 5-6 questions, felt more like a conversation than anything.

 

Interview took about 20 minutes and we were on our way. No approval on the spot however I am confident it will be approved.
