⏳ EB-3 I-485 Interview Pending - Public Charge Inquiry Post-RFE

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- An I-485 applicant attended a second interview after receiving an RFE for proof of university attendance. The officer focused unexpectedly on public benefits usage rather than the RFE, citing possible confusion with the applicant's citizen son who shares the same name. The case was referred to a supervisor with no immediate decision. Applicant had an I-130 approved 3 days after first interview, then received an RFE requesting proof of university attendance. Approximately 2 months after responding to the RFE, a second interview was scheduled. At the interview, only the applicant was allowed in — spouse was not permitted. The officer asked standard I-485 yes/no questions but focused heavily on public benefits usage. The applicant clarified that their spouse and citizen child have used benefits, but the applicant themselves has never applied for or received any. A potential name confusion issue exists: the applicant's citizen toddler son shares the same name (junior), possibly causing a false benefits flag. The officer concluded by saying he would consult his supervisor and issued a standard 'we're working on it' notice. The RFE was acknowledged as received but not substantively discussed. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1v3x4i6/idk_how_to_feel_after_485_interview/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
