Approved in Tampa today!!!!
Dear everyone! I am approved and got the stamp in my passport!
First of all special thanks to my dear Jane Green who supported me all these months. I also want to say many thanks to Ari4u , Cherr and all of you who helped me to be prepared for this event.
Here is my about 1o minutes interview experience.
We were inside the building around 12.3o, my interview was at 1 p.m. Waiting to be called an elderly man came out calling an other couple. Right there he asked to be followed just by the US citizen, they were separated right there....hm....wasn’t the best begining.....
We were called earlier then 1 p.m by a tall, middle-age male, we sworn in, than he asked for DL. We sat down, he looked at our file and began to check the dates, like our names and address. Than he asked for our passport, he took immediately my I-94.
He continued to look at the files, asked me if I was ever married (no), checked the submitted divorce degrees for my husband, then asked me all those questions from I-485, which I answered no. All the time he said „ very good, very nice, ok, ok”.
Suddenly he said a word in my citizenship language, which is not my mother tongue, I replied to him and he said when he was in that country and what food he liked there. He also noticed that we, husband and me have the same nationality.
I was with all those huge folders there and can you believe it, nothing, but nothing was asked for proof of our marriage. The only think which he asked it was the 2005 tax return, and that’s it!!!!!
I still can’t believe it: I had evertyhing, joint bills, joint debit card, checkbook,joint credit cars, titles of cars, cars insurance, home insurance, purchases together, corespondence received, new affidavid, employer letter, photo album, trips, tickets whatever you can imagine and NOTHING WAS ASKED. He looked at my folders he said how nice I organized everything, but he has no time to look at them, he is already very satisfied and going to approve me right now. He took his stamp and by mistake stamped DENIED, we all laughed about and than painted it immediately.
Checked his computer, everything was fine with background and FBI.
Took my passport, checked if is valid, and stamped it, explained that this is a conditonal one and when I have to fill for unconditional. He also give us two papers, one with the result of the interview, and one with what I have to do after 1 year and 9 months. He said in two months I will get my green card, this is what he has to say, but I will receive earlier.
I think this was the most easiest interview ever. Being so worried because I married in less than one month after arrival, went home, came again, and filled after, I think that this was the nicest officer ever.
I am done, I still can’t believe it....maybe after some days I will realize that I am done with USCIS for a while.
One more thing: I asked him if he needs my EAD and AP, he said „ oh yes, sure I must take that, thak you for your help, you don’t need it anymore”.
I also checked the online status, still the same message „Your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status was received.....” I think it will change in the next days, right?
I will stay around this forum...if I can help anyone, please fell free to contact me.
Thank you for being with me. God bless you all and good luck!
