Immigration Site

Hi guys! Its been over two years since me and my wife (American citizen) went to out first interview. Our case has been pending since then. Recently, I called Immigration and got transferred to some nice lady who said that she would send a request on my behalf to our local office so that they would send me an update regarding my family-based petition. Couple days ago we received a receipt notice with my wifes (not mine) name on it asking us to show up for the interview "for the completion of her Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) and any supporting documentations or petitions". Can anybody explain to me a little bit more detailed what it means and whats the difference between I-130 and I-485 interviews. I will greatly appreciate any answer. Thanks.

The I-130 petition is the first step. The I-130 merely certifies the claimed relationship. The I-485 is the application for a greencard based on the petition. An I-485 is filed if the beneficiary of the petition is in the U.S. pursuant to a lawful admission. For you as the spoue of a USC, your lawful entry can expire and you can still file the I-485.

Where are you? Did you file for adjustment in the U.S.?

Im in Florida. Yes, I filed for adjustment here in the U.S. I read a post on the internet where it was being said that if the Immigration letter that asks us to show up for the I-130 interview has my wifes name on it and not mine, it basically means that its going to be Stokes Interview. Is that correct?
