Today, we had our interview at the Seattle FO. Upon entering the building, we received our queue number and proceeded to the second floor. While there were many people waiting for their interviews, it seemed that most were there for naturalization purposes, as they weren’t carrying large packages of documents. After about 30 minutes of waiting, we were called in. The IO was nice and friendly. She began by the oath and then proceeded with questions related to our Form I-485. She confirmed details such as the last date of our entry into the U.S., the date of our marriage, and when I started my current job. Although I had brought all original documents and copies, she did not request to see any of them. She concluded the interview with a series of yes/no questions from the I-485.
The entire interview lasted around 20 minutes. Before we left, I asked about when we might receive a decision. The IO mentioned that, she would make an effort to complete everything by the end of the day and she is aware of the last year's incident. She also noted that if she needed any additional information, she would reach out to us.
Upon returning home, we were thrilled to see that our status had changed to "New Card Is Being Produced."
I am incredibly grateful to have discovered this forum and knowing that I wasn’t alone during this process. Though I haven’t posted much, I’ve found answers to all my questions here. A special thanks to
@Sm1smom for the invaluable AOS spreadsheet and guidance! I wish everyone the best of luck and hope you all receive good news soon.
