Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. Hope you will be approved. And how was your interview, will you pick up your decision or it will be mailed out to you? Were you represented by a lawyer or not? Please could you share you experience with me? I am already deeply stressed and don't understand why my case isn't scheduled for interview yet. Are you in status or not?

When I inquired about case they told me that only 20% of applicants get interviews in 21 day period which is by law. For All other applicants it can take from 22 days up to forever. So you are lucky if you received interview in such a short period of time.

I applied in June and waiting for interview notice. It is newark office. Not LA tomorrow I am going to check my status

Thanks for support!
Are you in status? Probably that is the reason. I'm out of status for a couple of months already.
They told me to come and pick up the decision in two weeks on November 7. I was at the interview with an interpreter and without the lawyer. I did everything by myself and I had a couple of medical papers, but the interview was terrible.
They had trainee there, so I guess that was the main reason. My IO was a nice lady, she smiled and was very polite with questions but she asked everything, I mean every tiny detail of all the accidents and more private things. The interview took 4! hours. The wait wasn't too long though. That day I thought it was the worst day of my life.
I did okay, I guess, I answered all the questions but the fact that there was another person who btw also asked me a couple of questions, that was a lot of pressure.
But the fact that they train new people I guess is the good thing. So don't worry, I'm sure you'll be interviewed soon!

I will pray for you to be approved. really I wish you be approved, because you can't imagine how difficult is to wait, and wait without any information and without any idea if I will have to wait for days, months or years. So don't worry, I think you did well and will be approved. please keep us posted about your decision.

Yes, I was ready to wait for a looong time since it was LA office and I know they have problems there.
Stay positive! I'm sure you'll be done soon.
And thank you for the support, if you have any question just ask.
