Okay. Looks like your FO went ahead and approved your petition without an interview once they got the information they needed. Not unusual. Congratulations!

Hi mom, I marked my questions in red so it is easier for you. As my interview date approaches which is end of July, I'd like to prepare I-134. I will be asking my friend to prepare it for me. I just have few questions to clarify:
Will they ask any details of how I am being sponsored and how my sponsor provide me money or how often? Should I get prepared for these kinds of questions or they will only look at the I-134, ID of a sponsor, her tax return and proof her green card? What should I prepare for? The reason I ask is because my sponsor is around my age, she is my friend, she is actually 3 years younger than I am, we finished same University here in NY, she has a job in Morgan Stanley, so she has income and tax returns. However, she has her green card from marriage, and it is temp green card, the one you get for two years (She will apply for her perm green card later this year). Does it matter at all? Do you think if I use her as a sponsor there would be any issue?
Thanks in advance!

It contains your eDV registration form, DS-260 form, DV administrative fee receipt, your email/communications with KCC, any other thing KCC considers pertinent.

They can ask any question they deem necessary, it is more important to truthfully answer whatever question gets asked than to show up with some rehearsed response. All they will be interested in is the fact that your sponsor's income meets the applicable PGL.
Thank You. I had an infopass today. The field officer was okie. He said my case was assigned to an officer today morning. When I asked him about the background check, he said its done and everything is fine. However, he had no idea about a file from KCC. He actually did not know what it is.

His lack of knowledge regarding the KCC file is not unusual, your assigned IO will figure it out.
We (I and my Spouse) just had an interview. It was short and IO was very nice young lady.
We did oath, answered all I 485 questions. She asked about the company name where I used to work, where I currently work and we were done.
She told that everything on our file looks OK and they should have all needed forms. She told that she will review our documents and send us a letter. She mentioned if they need any documents we will receive a letter and asked us to send those documents ASAP. She also told we need to process it before september 30 deadline.
As part of I485 questions she asked me if I ever been in front of gudge? I said yes, for a speeding ticket. She took some notes. Can it be a reason for not approving my case and she needs to review it?

I had my interview this morning. It was about 30 minutes long. My interviewer seemed a bit every where and slightly confused. We talked through my I485 pretty much confirming my responses. The weird part was when she asked me to list all my entries and exits dates in and out of the US since 2005 when I first entered. She said she could not approve my file today and will need further review and I should get notified within 30 days.
I was hoping to get approved on the spot since my case is pretty straight forward but oh well. I guess the waiting continues.

What was the outcome of the speeding ticket case? What was the penalty - fine or points deduction? Was it a fine of less than $500?
It was just a regular (as I remember 0-10mph over) speeding ticket about 5 years ago. Pleaded not guilty not to get points. As a result of negotiation with police officer's representative agreed to pay fine $100 for parking ticket.

Okay, I was asking because you're required to disclose all charges on the I-485 form and provide disposition records of such unless it is a traffic charge that did not involve an actual physical arrest and the penalty was a fine of less than $500 and/or points deduction.
I think you'll be fine, you will not be denied on that basis.
Just found payment receipt for the ticket.
It is from Dec 2010. Charge stop/park viol. Fine: $100.
Thanks for your quick response Mom.
It looks like we need to wait little more.
Update : 12:53pm
It looks like our case has been approved. Status check is showing "New card is being produced".
Will keep you posted.
Thanks
Al

That's great! Congratulations!!
Did my bio walk-in back in late April, still waiting for an interview letter. I also did an infopass on June 22, the officer said my case is assigned to an IO and I should expect a letter soon.
Anyway, I am due to move later this month (still within the same neighborhood), and would have to do a change of address with USCIS. Would this, in any way, delay the process? Was hoping this process would be done before I move, but it doesn't seem likely at the moment.

I ve just passed my interview , it was a smooth one , it took 15 minutes . I wasn t accepted on the spot , however i was told to expect a letter in 4 to 6 weeks . I have no clue if I m going to get the GC or not , actually I m kinda worried , especially that FO told me that she gonna run a backgound check and if they need an additional evidence i have to react quickly , was told also in case i hear nothing from them in 5 weeks I can get an info pass and ask about my application ,all that makes me so worried .
