gained a lot of useful information from here over the past few years. Thank
lizacchen, yoyo0220, FranklinDou, and everyone else so much for answering my
questions and posting useful information in the forum. I like to contribute
and give my feedbacks to the forum and hopefully will help upcoming and
pending applicants.
It's been a long journey of the green card process. In 8/8/2018 my family
and i finally received our green cards. the following is my timeline.
Eb2 priority date: June 2014
EB3 concurrently filing 485 Receipt date: June 2017
Interview date: 8/1/2018
Card was being produced: 8/1/2018
Card was received: 8/8/2018
Attorney relinked on spot
In my interview, VO asked for following information from us (My husband is
H1. My son and I are H4) :
1st: identity information----such as driver license, EAD, AP, SSN. VO made a
copy of them.
2nd: Name & DOB of ourselves, our parents' names, address my husband used to
live in U.S. We almost got referred for the address. VO asked my husband
for the address that he used to live in ten years ago when he was a student,
but my husband couldn't remember one of them as he moved a couple of time
in a short period. So VO said he had to validate the address and said he was
going to give us a ref for additional information. Then our lawyer told VO
that under regulation *** we are only required to provide last five years
address. Then VO realized that he made a mistake and apologized to us and
joked that he need coffee. So VO is not always right. If we know VO is
incorrect, we can remind VO. i saw some people got Ref because of J form
even if they didn't change job. If that's the case, we can remind VO we didn
't change job and that J Form is not a requirement.
4th: all of 485 questions. so review those questions beforehand.
5th: my current and prior employees. I got brain freeze when he asked for
one of my contract employer which i couldn't recall immediately. So i asked
VO would you mind if i looked up my email and then told him. He said ok. but
later i remember it without checking my phone. So remember: you can always
get information on spot by checking your email or by calling your friend or
family for help.
3rd: Latest I94. Remember, you can pull it up from online, so even if you
forgot you can pull it on spot.
6th: Medical exam done within a year.
7th: VO didn't ask us anything about the truthfulness of our family
relationship. He probably can tell we are a family. We prepared our prior
married filing jointly tax return, co-own credit card account information
and house purchase documents, etc. so we didn't use that at all. but i think
everyone should prepared just in case VO need them.
at the end, VO said the documents looks good to him and will make a final
review in the afternoon. Then my Attorney told VO we have approved i140s for
both Eb2 and Eb3, and confirmed we can green through either of them. VO
said yes. Then VO said he can walked us out through a short cut. Overall, VO
is a nice person. He probably felt a bit sorry after he made mistake
requesting for 10 years' ago address. Big big thumb up for my attorney.
Hope it helps :-) Good luck to everyone! | s*****y

Generally, VO's believe in attorneys rather than US. If we argue with them
on the 5-years address rule, most probably, they will insist they are
correct. If attorneys challenge them with regulation rule #, they will
listen to the attorneys.
At my interview, the VO insisted she cannot help transfer my case from EB3
to EB2, even if I pointed out the regulation rule. When I told her that my
attorney said it was allowed to transfer, she argued why attorney did not
come....
Anyway, I agree, if there is something special needs to take care, for
example, transfer/relink, CPC member, etc., then it may be necessary to
bring the attorney. Otherwise, may not be necessary.
