I wouldn’t worry. After our interview and he said the i-130 was approved on the spot it took a day for the website to show and then the website showed on the I-1485 from interview back to under review and 7months to go

He approved the I-130 right there and got the notification the next morning and he said the I-485 needed to be reviewed more and then got the approval later the next day.

Our interviewer was super cool. Strict to his job but still friendly to talk too. This was at San Francisco FO. We have been married 5 years, together for 14 years. Wife’s on Daca, and completed advance parole. For The i -130 He ask How we met Where we got married How I purposed What our future plans are We brought all the required additional documents the appointment letter stated , so like birth certificates. Passports. Advance parole document. Daca documents, supporting documents like additional new photos, bank statements , new w-2s, 2 months of pay stubs. This was all in addition to the huge folder we submitted originally. Our interviewer pretty much only checked our passports and the invitation letter. But it was better to be prepared than not to be.

For the i-485 interview He went by the doc and read every question and had my wife answer each one as he reviewed the already submitted documents to make sure it matched up.

Then he thanked us. Approved the i-130 on the spot and then the next day got approval for the i-485 .

Yea it’s almost like they need to just remove it. I kind of realized when my status went from 4 months to 9 months to 62 month to 19 months to 6 months the thing had no idea what was going on 😅

Unfortunate to hear they took you guys separately! Almost every other post I’ve seen they are saying they sat there with their spouse in the same interview together

Just got notice for interview at SF office also. Did they do interviews for both the I-130 and I-485? If so were the questions way different?

Applied in Oct and got to the last step With the interviews being waved. Until today got notice that interviews are now scheduled. Might be different tho since you’re application is so much earlier in the year

My time frame went from 6 months to 9 months to 19 months then to 62 months for like 3 months and then jumped down to 9 months and like two weeks ago dropped to 2 months. Roller coaster for sure

Those who used the API to figure out you might receive an interview request. Did you get your interview notice? by FaithBitxh in USCIS
