INTERVIEW SCHEDULED 37 DAYS AFTER SUBMITTING I-485
Hello, everyone! My interview just got scheduled. I have applied for I-485 on March 10th 2025 and my interview will be on May 27th 2025.
p.s. My I-130 already got approved in 2022( My husband was Resident only at the time)
Any tips on interview, highly appreciated!
Also i have 15 month old, did anyone is taking their child with them or is better not to? ( i might not have anyone to take care of him that day)

I went with my husband and 2 year old daughter at my interview and the interviewer told my husband and my baby to wait outside because my i130 was already approved and he didn't need my husband, but I will say just take your baby and your spouse to the interview to show more prove of how real your marriage is. the questions that were asked on my side were mostly the i485 questions

what country are you from?

@fruit fruity I am from Europe-Serbia. But that doesn’t mean anything. I was detained in 2017 and spent 37 days in detention center.

@Tamara D thank you for answering. I’m happy for you and wish you the best. it’s just that sometimes we wonder if there’s any kind of special criteria to choose the cases that are approved faster. Wishing you happiness and a great Easter, if you celebrate it 🙏

@fruit fruity I totally understand. One would think, but i don’t think there is any special criteria in this case specifically . What i think happened is that we submitted all paperwork required, so there was no need for rfe, and once they saw that everything is there it was easy for them to procees it and schedule an interview. And also i already had an interview in 2021 for I-130 which we were waiting for almost 3 years.
What i noticed is that people who have I-485 only are getting processed faster.
Couple days ago we marked me being in the states for 10 years😁 So my wait was a looong one, but i am so grateful that at least this part didn’t took long. Thank you so much! Happy Easter! And good luck to you 🍀
