Same . Got notified that my interview was scheduled on 02/17. Just waiting on the mail. So glad I got to skip renewing my work permit. 
Field office: Philadelphia 

Awesome! Maybe we'll have our interview on the same day since I'm in Philly too. Checking my USPS informed delivery like crazy 😂 do you know the location of the interview by chance? I'm hoping it's the location in University City area since getting to other place where we do fingerprints is such a pain.

It should be that one but the interview letter will specify the correct place and everything. Can’t wait to get done with this whole thing

Hey guys, I had my interview a couple of days ago and wanted to share how it went. We had to wait only a few minutes before the officer called our name, we were sworn in, he asked for my driver's license, passport and work permit. The interview started with the officer asking questions from pages 1-16 from the I-485 to me (beneficiary). He didn't ask all of the questions, but a lot of them at least 25 including date of birth, place of birth, current address, my parents names and dates of birth, and other general questions like "Have you ever received any type of military training?". Then he gave me back pages 1-16 to go over them and make sure he marked everything correctly, and then had me sign on page 17. The officer then started the second part of the interview with questions to me and to my wife, such as "What's something he/she does that annoys you the most?", "What does your home look like?", "How many sibling does he have, and do you talk to them?", "Where do you work?", "Have you ever been out of status or entered the country without being inspected at a port of entry?", "(from one of my pictures with a sandwich on) Where do they make these huge sandwiches?", "Where do you plan on living in the next 5 years? Do you plan on having kids?", then he saw my folders of documents and asked if I had additional relationship proof I would like to give to him, so I gave him tax returns, more pictures, more text messages and he looked very satisfied with the stack of papers I placed on his desk. The last question he asked me was "Do you have any questions for me?", so I asked if the application will be approved, he said "Oh yea I'm approving you, I'll get it done in half hour; I don't know what's happening in the world right now so I'm guessing it should take about 2-3 weeks, up to a month for to get the card in the mail. The interview lasted exactly half hour, and it was not the scary terrifying interview I was expecting to have. Half hour after leaving the building I received a case status update email saying my card was being produced. Good luck everyone I hope this helps you to get an idea of what the interview is like, and to the ones who already finished this journey, congratulations and best of luck in your life!

I have been scheduled for an interview since 2/17 and have been awaiting my letter. I just chatted with a USCIS rep to see if the letter has been sent and it hasn't - frustrating, but I am glad I checked.

Hello everyone! I received the notification that interview has been scheduled on Feb 2 and received the appointment letter on Feb 9. I had my interview yesterday, March 2 and I just wanna share my experience.
 

Before our interview started the officer told us that she will be conducting the interview from another room so we will use the iPad in front of us. She asked for our son’s birth certificate because he’s with us and then she also asked if I have any documents that I think she would need to see like bills, insurance, etc. I gave her phone bills, pictures, and bank statement.
 

After that she left and our interview started. The officer asked me bio questions from the I485:

 

• my full name

• birthday

• parents names

• husband’s full name and birthday

• if parents still lives in my home country

and then she asked the general eligibility and inadmissibility grounds questions from page 9 to 14. Other than that she only asked my husband one question (which she asked me too) if he has another child anywhere in the world. I think she asked this because we brought our son. 
 

She went back to the room and explained that she is approving the adjustment of status but we’re only married less than 2 years so I will get the conditional green card and that I will need to do another one of this process to remove the condition 90 days before this card expires. She also added that even if we happen to divorce before the ROC, that I can still do it and will just do it under waiver. 
 

The whole interview took less than 10 mins. She said the card will be mailed as soon as possible but call USCIS if it has not arrived after 2 months. 
 

Hopefully this could help. Thank you everyone for the support and insight. I’ll be praying for everyones successful journey.

Interview date today 3/3/21, but was given a paper saying your case is being held for review. Is this normal process? Officer said he needs to review the application, and he stated that worst case scenario we would get a letter for RFE. 😞

who guys who are getting interviews, are you calling and badgering them? cant figure out if the people calling and asking to talk to tier 2 are getting scheduled afterward.

Hello everybody, we had interview few days ago, so I want to share my experience. First she asked for my birth certificate, original and copy and for my ssn, passport and marriage certificate. She also took my husbands passport. She asked us for our financial situation, is everything same, we said yes. Then she asked us to tell her our love story, how we met, and get married. My husband said (and it was so funny to me) So I went to Serbia and we had mutual friend and she was there and we talked and I stayed there for 3 weeks and we hang out and she was awesome... and then I came back after two months, we went to vacation and I went back to Chicago, and then we had another vacation, and then I came again and then I asked her to come. She was denied for tourist visa and I told her that I want her to come here and be my wife... end of the story She said oook. Then she took my fingerprints and photo and asked those question about criminal history and then she told us that we are approved but she gave us a letter saying that case is on hold. I was confused, she said I just need  few more hours to fill up some documentation and by the end of the day you should see change in case status. And that how it was, my case status changed around 6 pm new card is being produced. And morning after, case was approved.
