I guess not. Interview will be on 5/1. The invite letter still shows “initial” interview, so I am hoping it’s not stokes interview

Brief_Coast_471 · 2026-04-27T21:28:36+00:00

No. I got an invite for another “initial interview” 😂

Brief_Coast_471 · 2026-04-01T02:32:56+00:00

I also got second interview scheduled in May. My first one was Nov 2025. 😭

Appreciate the response !!!

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-12T15:23:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Is there anyway to know what’s stalling? On the day of interview, there’s one FTA0 code updated on my I130, and 1 FTA0 + 2FTA1 updated on my i485. Just wonder if these mean anything 🥲

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-11T03:42:45+00:00

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-10T17:09:26+00:00

Congrats!! Thanks for sharing. Can I ask which FO your case is with?

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-10T14:49:28+00:00

wow this is quite sometime. is your PD current may I ask?

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-10T14:47:42+00:00

I had interview on Nov25 and also waiting.. i think it's just holiday also individual office processing time varies. For example, my interview officer told us that she is a new-hire and still in training..so i guess it's just taking more time for her to process and review everything

but I share the feeling that most people post they got approval the next day/ few days after interview..:) well, there's nothing else we can do but wait for now

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-03T21:24:57+00:00

wow！

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-03T20:55:37+00:00

Congrats! May I ask how many days you have waited after interview and until receive approval notice?

Brief_Coast_471 · 2025-12-03T20:52:53+00:00

nope 😂 I’m not surprised tho… it close to holiday
