Just had my marriage-based AOS interview (NYC - Brooklyn Field Office)!

Cross-posting this from r/USCIS in case there are people who don't obsessively browse both like me:

Hey there fellow applicants! Just got out of my interview and I wanted to create a post here to share my timeline with you guys - this subreddit and its community has helped me a LOT throughout the long and arduous process of applying for the coveted green card. It is with your guys' moral support, encouragement, and kindness that these past few seemingly endless months have been made bearable! So here's my timeline:

June 21, 2019 - We got married (marriage to a USC)! :)

July 12, 2019 - Priority date, USCIS received application (I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131), all in National Benefits Center

July 19, 2019 - Received notice for biometrics

August 7, 2019 - Attended biometrics

August 12, 2019 - Biometrics received by USCIS, case is processing

September 12, 2019 - Request for initial evidence (forgot to submit a complete Federal income tax return)

September 25, 2019 - Evidence received

October 10, 2019 - Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview

January 17, 2020 - I-765 and I-131 (combo work & travel card) got approved

January 21, 2020 - received employment and travel card in the mail

November 10, 2020 - Interview was scheduled for 12/28/2020 (in Downtown Manhattan)

December 28, 2020 - Interview!

P.S. as I was writing this post I got a notification from USCIS Case Tracker app that my case was approved and a new card is being produced!!! I am beyond ecstatic right now.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you guys might have about my case, the interview process, the documents I brought along and anything else you might be curious about - I'll try my best to answer :)

Good luck to all those waiting - it's a long, frustrating journey, but I believe in you all and y'all can do it!!!
