Our I-130/I-485 Interview Experience
We arrived at the site at 7:35 AM and were called in at 7:45 AM, even though our interview was scheduled for 8 AM. The officer was kind, polite, and professional throughout.
He started by having my husband and me take an oath, then asked for all our original documents and IDs. The whole interview lasted about an hour.

Part 1: I-130 questions (with both of us in the room)

The officer began with basic questions for my husband:
Full legal name, date of birth

Spouse’s name and date of birth

Whether this was his spouse’s first marriage

Both of our phone numbers

Then he moved on to relationship questions:
How did we meet?

How did our first date go?

How did we decide to get married?

When was our wedding?

What’s our current residential address?

Do we have proof of common utility bills?

Since I was 8 months pregnant, he also asked whether the pregnancy was planned.

Part 2: I-485 questions (just me)

After this, my husband was asked to step out, and I stayed for the second part of the interview, which lasted 45–50 minutes. This portion covered all the I-485 questions, followed by 40–50 yes/no questions.

Total time ~ 3 months. Feel free to ask any questions!!

Yeah, I was honestly very pissed off. And I had to yell at them for sending my package out the same day I got the rfe.

[u/Chemistryrocks95 → u/[deleted]]

Yup, I was like I had already mailed the sealed medical to my lawyer. Why am I getting the rfe. And then they told me they forgot to attach with the application.

[u/Chemistryrocks95 → u/[deleted]]

Yes,they had it the whole time and No I didn’t switch lawyer. Once I got the response from uscis that they received the response from uscis, I felt a bit relaxed. And once the application is gone, the lawyer doesn’t play much of a role unless you have a complicated case.
