Hey everyone, after years of uncertainty, I finally got the update that our interview was scheduled at the Buffalo field office for June 15th and honestly it feels surreal.
My timeline:
• Pending asylum case since 2020
• Married to a USC October 2025
• Filed I-130/I-485 concurrently
• USCIS received case: January 29, 2026
• Biometrics scheduled: February 13, 2026
• Biometrics attended: February 17, 2026
• Interview scheduled: May 6, 2026
As someone who has been in immigration limbo for years already because of asylum, this whole process has been emotionally exhausting. Constant waiting, checking USCIS daily, worrying about the future, trying to build a life while everything feels uncertain… it really takes a toll mentally.
Getting the “Interview Was Scheduled” notification today honestly made me emotional. It finally feels like things are moving forward after such a long journey.
Our interview will be at the Buffalo field office. Has anyone here recently interviewed there? How was your experience? Any tips, questions they focused on, or things you wish you brought/prepared better?
Would really appreciate hearing your experiences 🙏
