A recent post from a 1Point3Acres user detailed their experience during an I-485 interview at the Buffalo Field Office. The interview, which lasted over 90 minutes, was conducted by an officer who appeared to be Native American and posed a series of detailed questions about the applicant’s background and affiliations.

Key Details:

Interview duration: 90 minutes
Key topics included: group affiliations, military training, and educational funding from the Chinese government
The officer asked about the applicant’s current job and future career plans, particularly regarding staying in the U.S. versus returning to China
The applicant was instructed to submit their undergraduate transcript and resume post-interview

The applicant noted that despite the officer’s friendly demeanor, the questions were probing and repetitive, particularly concerning affiliations with certain organizations. The applicant’s attorney was present during the interview, and the applicant felt pressured to disclose information that may not have been necessary. Following the interview, the status of the I-485 application remained unchanged, indicating that a review by a supervisor was required before a decision could be made.
