Congrats. Enjoy this victory. Do not forget the I-751 is next if you have been married less than 2 years as of today. It requires evidence of bona fide marriage since the date of your marriage. Your window to file for it opens on 02/14/2023.

All the best,

Hi everyone!

Family-based AOS, San Francisco office, timeline:

• 4/15/20 - Priority date
• 5/8/20 - RFE sent
• 5/28/20 - RFE response received
• 7/20/20 - Interview ready to be scheduled
• Successfully received EAD in the meantime
• 5/10/21 - Change of address to PA (should be Philadelphia office)

Haven't heard anything back from 7/20/20 (almost 10 months).
Processing times have been fluctuating a lot -- now receipt date for a case inquiry for family-based is Mar. '19 in San Fransisco, and Nov. '18 in Philadelphia which hints on additional 1-2 years of wait time.

Anyone knows how soon I could realistically expect the interview, especially with recently changed address from CA to PA?

Any info/thoughts will help!

Thank you.

Thank you.

ours is almost exactly the same as you, including moving around the same date, just to a different east coast state. We didn't get the EAD/travel document until about February though after writing a letter to the ombudsman. Wondering if maybe we should send another one, but seeing these processing times it's probably pointless.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you know if it's possible to get help from ombudsman/congressman to expedite the interview if my case is still within 'normal processing times'?

I just finished my interview yesterday (May 20). Got approved on the spot. My FO is Santa Ana, CA and the PD is April 11, 2020.

We filed the application ourselves and submitted everything they asked for. At the interview, the interviewer only asked for any updated documents with our names on it. I gave him the house title, health insurance, property tax, and some random photos. He then asked me to confirm my name, my spouse's name/birthdate. That was pretty much it.

I'm glad it's over (at least until I have to renew the conditional GC). Good luck everyone. Hope your application will be approved soon.

dhdo2111 , congrats! Enjoy this victory and add to your calendar the date when the window to file the I-751 opens. It is very easy to forget. Keep in mind that the evidence for the I-751 starts since the date of your marriage. Thus, there will be some overlap between your I-485 and I-751. That's ok. All the best! USCFFS

Hey everyone, I had my i-130 and i485 interview yesterday with my husband in NJ. The officer didn’t say anything about my case being approved after the interview. Today my i130 was approved, however the i485 hasn’t changed. It says the case is being reviewed. Did anyone go through this? Is it normal? I thought they would get approved at the same time. Thank you for your time

Thank you.

Received email that my interview was scheduled on 6/2/21 - three weeks after I changed my address online.
Interview is scheduled for 7/14/21 in Philadelphia. Fingers crossed it'll go well.
Good luck everyone!
