Its my turn to say its approved...after waiting 2 years 2 months in 485 stage
My case was transfered from VSC to local office in Aug-2003 and I received interview letter in Dec-2003 to attend interview on 05-Jan-2004 10:30 am. In the interview letter they just asked me to bring employment letter showing pay rate and number of hours/week(I was worried because they did not asked for INS style photos). My attorney accompained me to the interview, the adjustment officer called for interview at 11:10am they were late because the adjustment case which was scheduled before mine gave some serious issue and they had to deport the applicant. My attorney told me not to be tensed with the situation because mine is EB category and we have all the documents, (belive me I was so tensed at that moment).
The adjustment officer called my name, then my attorney asked if my wife also need to come now or later, he said that he will see me first and her later (it's strange, all the posting I read here in this forum said both will be interviewed at same time). My attorney and myself went into the room and the officer immediately started asking questions from 485 application and looked into all the visa stamps in the passport to make sure I was in status all the time (and I was in status all the time in US). Later he asked the employment letter and asked if I am with the same employer. ( and I was).
He said the case looks good and stamped the passport (took the I-94 and EAD) and told he was not sure why the case got transfered. Supprisingly he asked if I have my wife's passport, I-94 and EAD card with me and took and also went thru her 485 application and stamped her passport.
Taking the attorney made difference in the process, because the attorney knew the adjustment officer and they started talking abt other cases & abt the holidays. He made it very cool atmosphere in the interview room.
Below are the details abt my 485 case.
