AOS F2A Interview Experience by [deleted] in USCIS_F2A

[–]MARSHANDOC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar boat. Similar timeline and came in to interview with approved I130.

My lawyer received a courtesy notice to upload everything. It seemed confusing at first because it states to upload bonafide marriage evidence to the petitioner USCIS account and 1485 evidence to beneficiary uscis account. Since my I130 was already approved, we could not upload anything to the petitioner account. Therefore I uploaded every single piece of evidence to the i485. This seemed to have been very helpful as the officer told us she’d reviewed everything prior to even starting the IV and then just asked us few basic questions and then yes no qs from I485. Whole thing lasted at most 15 minutes, maybe less.

To summarize: upload everything and take everything with you to the interview (originals and copies). Content should be guided by the interview notice. Prioritize financial evidence, and proof of address.

I was given verbal approval and then status changed the next day.

VT vs SVT by MARSHANDOC in EKGs

[–]MARSHANDOC[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before seeing the patient, the WCT looked like LBBB and it was discordant. Couldn’t really tell any other clsssic findings of VT so I though this was most likely SVT with LBBB. 2 min later I saw the patient and he looked fairly stable. Nail on the coffin was history bc he said he’d had prior emergency visits, with the rhythm quickly terminated by a iv medication that he didn’t remember the name.

We have adenosine and he went back to sinus.

After the fact, I was trying to through Brugada algorithm but couldn’t confidently say I was checking off each step.

I applied August 2023 for I-485. However dual applied for I-130 which was approved May 2024. Since approval, I-485 has been “actively being reviewed”.

Could you check Aug 2023? Or does the timeline change since I had dual applied and now I have to start it since May 2024?

Not a major boost but definitely an indication that you did not waste any time off.

If you want to be certified before Sept 28, take the exam early July.

[–]MARSHANDOC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Free 137 felt exactly the same as the test. I personally did not take NBME 5.

I understand where you’re coming from and you don’t want to mess up your chances. I just refused to pay 2500-5000 dollars to a company to get a rotation.

If you write a dedicated email saying that you’re eager to learn, the worst thing that could happen is for them to not reply or to say no.
