initial interview vs an interview

Hi Guys does anyone know the difference between an initial interview, and just a regular interview for a green card.

yes

but if you are unlucky, there might be more than 1. It's usually just 1 interview.

Hi Malakai

I'm in the same category as you and I just got my appoinment letter today for initial interview. Since yours is tomorrow would you be so kind and tell me how it went. My petioner is my mother, although the appoiment letter comes with a checklist regarding what to bring, It would be a really help if you give some hints from your expirience.
Good luck tomorrow. Hope everything goes perfectly...

Update

I have also received the same letter and it says initial interview. Can you please tell me how did it go. IF your passport was stamped on the same day with the GC. Or they said they will call you for another interview.

My letter says initial interview so I am not sure.
