All NYC Filers..... let's talk

[NYFilingforHusband]

Hi guys, I am a New York filer for I-485. Today my status just got updated to "Interview was Schedule", this is a lot sooner than I expected. Very excited and nervous at the same time

Filed in on 09/2018
Fingerprint on early 10/2018
Received medical exam courtesy letter on 1/2019
EAD and AP approval by end of 01/2019
Just received EAD combo card early 02/2019
Received notification about interview was scheduled on 2/8/2019

I am really surprised about the speed, lawyer said I got lucky because it has only been only 6 months since I applied. Now I am patiently waiting for the actual mail about the actual date.

Wow that was really fast! Where in New York are you filing from- NYC?

H1b

Thank you. So you gave up your H1B while waiting? I am contemplating the same move since I am getting a new job soon but green card probably won?t come before that...

Gotcha. I am in similar situation. My H1B is expiring in August this year. I am working on the renewal now. I just submitted a marriage based green card application last month.

Thank you.

Thank you so much

Did the interviewer give you a hard time coz your expired h1b? Lawyer told me not to do it so I am curious about your experience.

If you are AOS for marriage, why do you want to renew the h1b? Do you think that they will deny your GC? Maybe the lawyer will charge you for that renewal?
Why an interviewer will give you a hard time on expire h1b if it expires after you entered AOS status? Even people overstaying for many many years don't have problem at the interview.
