Interview at Tampa FL USCIS Office. Met with a lovely immigration officer (Riki) who went through the I-485 and verified all the information that I had provided in the form.
Asked for my name and former names, my DOB, husbands name and his DOB, my parents names, current address, how long we have lived there for, date we were married and then we went through each of the immigration/criminal/terrorism questions which you have to answer verbally yes/no to. We were then invited to provide any supporting documentation to verify our relationship. We provided gym membership, health insurance, joint credit cards, car insurance, joint bank statements, birthday cards, photos from the wedding, copies of our wedding vows and facebook msgs and emails. She then invited us to tell her about us and our story which we didn't mind retelling as we love to tell our little 'fairytale' :)
She then informed us that she had everything she needed for her review and that once they did a 'refresh' on my background check, everything to her looked good to be approved. Told us they have 90 days to approve it but that she normally takes less than 30 days to go through her cases and issue decision. She then said that I will receive a letter advising us of their decision and then a week later will receive the card.
By the time we arrived home, about 2hours after the appointment ended, I had a text notification that my case status had been updated. I signed in to my USCIS account online and it advised 'New Card is Being Produced' which means I have been approved and it is on it's way! NOTE - Because my greencard was issued before my employment authorisation/advance parole requests had been granted, they have now been cancelled by the immigration officer (she advised us that she would cancel them once she approved and issued my green card).
So all in all, a easy experience (even though I was nervous... something about an 'interview' that always makes me a little uneasy haha), questions were straight forward and after only a short wait, I know have my green card on it's way! Happy Days :) :) :) |

November 1, 2018 - AOS Interview (Family Status - from K1 Visa)

Also just a quick mention regarding the I-693 medical. I had my overseas vaccination in Feb 2018 with all my vaccinations completed (except for the flu vaccine as it was not flu season in Australia). I provided a copy of my vaccination record (DS3025) with my I-485 submission and this was sufficient. I did not go to a civil doctor and re do any medical or vaccination part of the form for my interview as it was still within the 12 months of my overseas medical. The topic of the medical was not even brought up in the interview. Just wanted to add this in for others as this was something that I wasn't sure of and took a chance in not completing the additional medical just in case I didn't need it - which turns out I didn't! |

Timeline Comments: 4Hi!
Do you mind share one information about your timeline... how long do you wait for interview was scheduled from ‘ready to schedule for an interview’
Thank you!
AOS PACKAGE SENT: August 4, 2018
AOS PACKAGE RECEIVED: August 8, 2018
NOA1: August 15, 2018
BIOMETRICS: September 5, 2018
READY TO SCHEDULE INTERVIEW (email notification): September 13, 2018
INTERVIEW SCHEDULED: September 27, 2018
INTERVIEW: November 1, 2018
I received only an email notification that the interview was ready to be scheduled and then a week and a bit later, another email to say it was scheduled and a notice in the mail with my interview details followed a few days after that.
Okay. Thank you so much!
We have the same timeline. But I got RFE. So my case just updated to ready to scheadule on Oct 17. So I hope get my interview scheadule for the next couple week.
Thanks . And good luck in your interview!!!
I'm so happy for you! I think you have the fastest AOS I've seen in along time. Didn't even need EAD since GC is with you in 3 months! Hope others are fortunate like you are!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
