Interview experience
We just have our interview and it was really a good one. Our interview was scheduled at 9 am in Memphis immigration office. We reached there at around 8:45. Then we passed the security and went into the waiting room dedicated for interviews. Around 20/25 people was waiting there. We dropped our interview letters in a box. I was wondering when our turn will come. An officer called us at about 8:55. He was really a nice person. At first, he asked us to take oath. Then he asked
Thats the experience. I was never able to see my case status online. But suddenly I am able to see my case status - CPO I want to thank all the members of this forum. You guys really helped and inspired me a lot. Wish you all best of luck who has upcoming interviews.
Guys could somebody please answer what is FO means? Thanks so much!
Update:
Hello everybody, congrats to all who got the GC or had updates in the process. Also, thank you for supporting open cases.
I received my IL today for June 28. I was expecting an I 797 format, however it is an standard letter requesting: PSP, letter, Photo ID, spouse and arrest records if any.
I have 2 questions now:
1. My husband's letter and mine are for same day but different times (mine 12.30 and his 1.00), is it this correct? Are we going to be interview together right?
2. Last week, KCC told me my file wasn't requested by my FO yet. They said: Once you receive the IL, your FO requests your files....How should I proceed now to ensure my file will be transferred prior my interview?
Thank you so much for your answers and any suggestions for the interview day are welcome!
Thanks Sharminlee for answering!
I've already call to KCC and they said my case has already in Immigration. Could you please answer what is FO means? And what is National Benefits Center means? Because in Immigration last week they said my case is in th National Benefits Center? And as soon as it comes to them they will schedule me. Is it normal? To say the truth, I'm so confuse. How usually the case going on?
FO is for field office.
I wished I could help you more but I am too busy. But hope this forum would actively help you out !
BOTTOM LINE: You filed way too early and your case will have a very high probability of rejection.
You can wait to see your luck or, my best advise is, withdraw your i-485 and refile asap. That is my advise but others may differ. Best i can do for you for now is to ask you to go follow the case of user id 'Summet' in 2010, how he pulled through last year. Follow his posts and advise he got. This link might help http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?297575-DV-2010-AOS-Only&p=2231421#post2231421 (he came to the forum for advise after his case got rejected, not sure you want to wait for that far, you will run out of time to refile if you wait...so do it now) Go to that post, click his ID and then click 'view forum posts'.
Best!!
Celinita,
Here're the answers:
1. The time is different but you will be interviewed in the same time. This is just the way they schedule interviews.
2. My experience shows that the best way is to call KCC about 10 days before the interview and ask if they've sent your file to FO. If they have not then send a letter by mail to you FO and ask them politely to request your file from KCC since your interview date is coming up. Actually I have not followed this approach and ended up spending the other three weeks after the interview to see my status changed to CPO. Calls/e-mails don't work and are just informational only.
Good luck and stay positive as everything will be fine.
I think, manaysha's case is different from summet's case. summet got interview on April, while s/he was current on August. That's the reason why s/he got rejected. manaysha should be file, because s/he is current on June and his/her interview is not going to be scheduled before June. In my opinion, withdrawing I-485 is not necessary at all for manaysha.

I compare my case with Summit case, and I notice that he received the rejection letter one month after he received the travel doc and EAD. Almost 4 month pass, since i did it. I don't know if it's good or bad. Still question should I fill out the new one before i even get rejection letter?
