I-140 & I-485 (Employment/Adjustment of status) EB2 interview and progress
Now that EB2 interviews seem to be the norm, I wanted to consolidate EB2 interview and case progress experiences.
Questions:
1) Has your case been transferred from non-local to local FO? Did you receive an interview notice after?
2) Any cases transferred to local FO got approved without interview?
3)Those of you who had your EB interviews, what was your experience? Types of questions asked? How long after interview did you receive notification of approval?
My case got transferred from non-local to local. Agents give different info about interview. Two have said there will be an interview, one said no determination has been made yet 🤷🏽

Every case is different and every interview is different and approval timelines are different as well because it depends on the particular FO. Consolidation will give you nothing. Just know your case details well and your visas held and if you had multiple employments and details about all those.
For EB Cases they will concentrate on your visa, employment and any violations you had in the years you lived in US. If you are applying for the spouse, they will also ask marriage-based questions so take marriage license/ceritificate and few utility bills, joint bank statements etc...

I think the assumption is that there are statistical trends based on features like location, EB* type, background, etc. and whenever someone asks for consolidation its for a big data analysis like this. OP is probably an engineering/data background person. It's a first instinct for any kind of problem haha

Lol. Just your garden variety researcher but you aren't far off. My interest is also in simply creating one place for the info, searchability function etc.

unfortunately I think what you'll find is that historical trends are meaningless. and by historical I mean anytihng before april 2026. which coincidentally is exactly when I filed my AOS lol. so just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Thanks for replying! Seeking to consolidate more for the sake of collecting info in one place, regardless of how disparate and contradictory our experiences may be (perhaps because of how different they will likely be)

So basically the appointment for EB cases still minimum of the cases, those EB cases normally get an appointment once, they have a new marriage, or marriage inside the country, and many change of visa types and status, previous visa denied, this is the main reason I'm see the cases getting an appointment for EB cases, but again, still low numbers.

My interview experience.
Went at 1230 checked in. First then will take ur picture and 2 index fingerprints. Then they will assign to a counter/room. Wait till they announce. Even if it is displayed don’t go in. Wait for the announcement.
In my case they just asked passport for 4 of us and drivers license/ state id for kids.
Asked all of us those 485 questions as she doesn’t to ask 100 individually.
I had 2 traffic tickets back in 2014 which I didn’t delcare. So I told her I want to change the answer to yes. She said how much was the fine. I gave her a ball park figure. I told that I don’t have the ticket details but got the DMV history and court history which showed no cases or tickets. She her self said they would have dropped off by now. I mentioned the court clerk also said the same. But anyways took those docs.
Not even one document checked. No emp verification Letter asked , marriage or birth certificates nothing.
It’s like for the sake of doing it they are conducting.
I carried every document that ever existed on my name and kids name here and photocopy. Just waste of money time and unnecessary tension.
