Me and my husband entered the office 45 minutes prior to the interview. We waited for too long and got called in separately. We were totally surprised as we were not expecting to be called in separately. The interviewing officer called my husband first who is a US citizen and when i stood up, she said that she just needed him. My husband told me that the officer asked for his ID, lease and tax returns and nothing else, no pictures, nothing. Since my husband is a sponsor, she gave him a printed letter explaining him about the sponsorship. He said that the officer has gone through general questions. After 30 minutes or so, my husband returned to the waiting area and she then called my name. The officer made me take an oath, and asked for my ID. I showed her the ID and started asking questions from our I485 application. She asked dates of our relationship and the dates when i lived in Virginia. She asked me a tricky question to which I told that i work in Virginia and I used to visit my husband in NJ few times a month last year. The way i was interviewed made me little anxious and worried. The officer has gone through all the other questions and i think everything else went well other than that particular question. Finally, she asked me to sign the application which meant some information on the application has changed. I did not ask the officer whether we are approved when she was walking me out. She said, she will request for a document but did not receive one yet. I was also not given any paper at the end of the interview and my case status also did not change. It's been more than 8 months after the interview now and still waiting for my card. We raised a service request and the request is also not assigned to any officer yet. I wish we have the green card in hand by now. The PD for our application is May, 2018. The wait is definitely a pain for us and makes us nervous. We did the filing ourselves and did not hire a lawyer at any time. But i suggest that you hire a lawyer even if you have all the required documents. This will ensure that you rest peacefully every night in case of any unknown delays. I'm very positive that I receive the card soon. I wish you all the best.
