EB2 NIW Detailed Interview Experience
I went for my interview yesterday at Montgomery, Alabama. My category is EB2 NIW and PD for I-485 is June 2nd 2017. It was filed initially at TSC.
My interview was at 12:15 pm and I arrived at 11:45 with my wife (derivative applicant) and my daughter (US citizen). At 12:15, the IO called my name and asked to interview me first without my wife. He was very friendly and nice. He interviewed me in about 10 minutes and then interviewed my wife alone for about 10 minutes too. Afterward, he asked me to join my wife and stated that everything is in order and he will approve our case by the end of the day (Hooray!) He said that the next day our status should change to “Case is Approved” which it did not happen yet. He also said that we should receive our GCs in 2 weeks.
Questions IO asked me (Applicant):
1. Sign the Lawyer waiver form
2. Went quickly through I-485 information
3. Tell me about your work and research
4. Current work contract
5. From where and when did you get your PhD, Master’s, & Bachelor’s degrees
6. Do you have samples of your publications? (I had printed out my Google Scholar Profile)
7. Tell me more about your most recent published article
8. When & where did you meet your wife?
9. Type of housing? How many bedrooms/bathrooms?
10. How many cars you have? What make, model, & color?
11. What is the color of your dishwasher?
12. Supplement J form! (I had the USCIS instruction page printed showing that I-485J form is not required for NIW applicants, I showed it to him and he agreed)
13. Took my fingerprints (didn’t take my picture!)
Questions IO asked for my wife (derivative):
1. Took her fingerprints and picture
2. Sign the Lawyer waiver form
3. Went quickly through I-485 information
4. When & where did you meet your husband?
5. Where does your husband work and for how long?
6. Show me your daughter’s Birth certificate and Passport
7. Show me your passport
8. Type of housing? How many bedrooms/bathrooms?
Overall, it was a straightforward interview, very friendly and brief. IO told me at the beginning that he loves EB cases and that EB applicants are beneficial to the US. By 1:45 we were out in the car heading back home.
Please take all NIW (I-140) documents with you including publications, recommendation letters, grants, citations, website info about you, etc.
I hope that I will get the status update soon to (Case approved – Cards in production).
Good luck to you all.
