USC marriage base 3 years , F1 overstayed for 3y , from the the 75 countries , Chicago
Interview was on April 20.
The officer asked:
• How did we meet?
• Who do we pay rent to?
• Questions about our Islamic marriage, how it was done, and the ceremony.
• Questions about my F-1 visa history and how many schools I attended.
I did not have all of my I-20s with me, so she asked me to upload them once I got home. She also asked me to upload full lease agreements for the past 3 years and additional bank statements.
I uploaded the bank statements about one week after the interview because I had to wait for the bank to mail them to me.
She also went through the standard I-485 questions.
The interview felt more like a conversation than an actual interview. The officer handed me the white paper saying that my case was under review. She told me to expect an answer about one week after I finished uploading everything.
Exactly one week after I uploaded the documents, I received my I-130 approval, and the next day my I-485 was approved.
I also received two emails about 4 hours before the approval notice appeared in the Documents tab saying: “Case Is Still Being Processed by USCIS.”
Evidence we submitted:
• Marriage certificate
• Islamic marriage certificate
• Joint bank account statements
• 3 years of lease agreements
• 3 car insurance policies
• Phone bills
• Pregnancy proof
• Around 150 pictures (travel, activities, family gatherings, friends, and three family weddings)
Good luck everyone
