Hi Mom and all,
We had our interview today morning at USCIS Albany FO. We arrived around 30 mins early, went through security, and checked in. We were told to wait until the IO calls our names. After around 20 mins, the IO came out and called us in. He said he will start with my wife as she is the principal applicant. Before, starting he said he had emailed and requested our file from DHS yesterday, it will be 24-48 hours until he gets a reply. So, he said that he will complete the interview today, but cannot let us know of the decision until he has our file in hand. He said we will get the notification within the next 48 hours.
First, he checked her passport and started going through the I485. He said the rest of the forms are in order including the medical. Then, he asked if there was any document that was not included in the package. My wife started a CPT in the summer, so she presented the new I20 and employment letters. She also said we have updated financial statements, but he said he won't need them. He continued with the I485 questions and yes/no questions.
Next, he checked my passport and started going through the I485 along with yes/no questions. I presented my current employment letter which was not in the package. In the end, we signed the forms. He said he has everything he needs from us but again needs to wait for the file from DHS.
Everything took about 30-35mins. The IO was friendly and straightforward throughout the interview. On the way back, the case status changed to, “Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed”.
I guess now we have to keep waiting for the KCC file.
Would it be better to email KCC about sending the file, so that it will be sent on time?
