February 2018 submission- i-130, i-485, i-765 - concurrent filing

[Jay D Destin]

Great

Thank you!
Our interview was very interesting. So both my husband and I are very chill people and we weren't so anxious for it beforehand.
Our Field Office is huge and we were told there were close to 50 officers working there. Most officers looked very friendly and personable....
Until we met ours. We got the vibe that he's just an extremely serious person. We got all the regular questions..how we met, where we met blah blah.. the officer just kept asking "and then what happened?" We went through our entire 3 year dating timeline, and showed officer some pictures. He took our affidavits and holiday cards from family&friends, and some updated bills.
In the very end the very serious officer cracked a joke so we got a pretty good feeling. The interview was a lot longer than I thought it'd be(~30 minutes)

Kaylip,

That does not look like any of the apps I see on the App Store. Which one is it again? The one I have does not show history.

It's called USCIS Case. It's an American flag in the shape of the country. It's on Google play store. Not sure if it's on iOS App store.

Congratulations! You went through your entire 3 year dating timeline? Did you have it in front of you? I don't think I could regurgitate all events in the correct order. You said the ISO took "updated bills". Thus, you had sent plenty of evidence with your AOS package?

Here is my updated timeline
City applied from - Washington DC
USCIS Lockbox - Chicago, IL
Docs Received by USCIS - 2/14/18
Checks cashed: 2/22
NOA received: 2/26
Biometrics Appointment: 3/15 (did early walk-in on 3/06)
Interview Notice: 4/19 (received 4/26)
Interview completed: 5/24 (Fairfax VA)

My interview was quite relaxed. The officer asked the usual questions: what are your in-laws names? What is your spouse?s date of birth? How did you meet? He also asked us to walk through our timeline. He said halfway through that he didn?t care about a lot of our evidence because \?if you seemed suspicious, I would have made you come back for another interview \?
This put us at ease. He then walked through all the standard questions about whether I have been arrested, committed crimes etc all of which I answered no to. He took very little of our evidence saying they had limited space. We had come prepared with a large binder organized with documents and pictures.
He concluded the interview and asked if we had any questions. I asked what happens next. He said we would receive the Green card in 30 days or so. (He never explicitly said we are approved.. so we walked away a little confused). But overall seemed positive

Update - 2/20/18 PD

Day 98 - No interview yet
I have received EAD.

Anyone not file for AP at the time of concurrent filing? Wondering what your experience of filing your AP and EAD separately. Trying to see if it's worth filing. I want to travel in July but if it's a long process i'll just push my travelling back.

SR cannot be created?

Hi All,

Just tried to raise a SR through e-request, but got a message that said "Your application or petition is currently within the posted processing times. An inquiry may not be created at this time". Today is day 98 since cases filed, please see my timeline below.

Question - For those who successfully raised a SR, may I ask how the requests were made? Should I choose something other than "Case outside normal processing time"? Many thanks in advance!

Just file for it. It doesn?t hurt to try especially if you can push your trip for later.

Re: open an SE - I wonder if I should choose ?did not receive notice by mail? instead?

Re: timeline signature - go to Settings, then in the menu on the left ?edit signature?

Re: SR - I wonder if I should use "did not receive notice by mail" instead?

Re: timeline signature: go to Settings --> edit signature, then check "show your signature" when you post.

SR denided

Hi All,

I raised mine in day 93, after 30 days wait which was 123 days later, they finally assigned an officer to my case. And the reason was "My case was still in normal processing time". Explaining it takes 2.5 months to 5 months to process marriage based EAD. So, I'm waiting for next week which is the mark of 5th month.
And is when I'll have my interview anyway.
