Here is my interview story.
I arrived to Detroit District Office in Michigan around12:50pm and my appointment was at 1:30pm.
At 1:25pm, the IO showed up and introduced himself and took us to his office (Cube).
He said I will ask some questions in order to finsih your application.
He asked about my name, my father's name and my mother's name. After that he swore us.
He asked for our Birth Certificates, and Marriage license and Driver's License because I had my address changed.
After that, He asked about my Parent's in Law family. he said: "Tell me about your parent's in law family". I gave him the name of each one and what do they do and where do they workd and go to school.
Moreover, he asked about my wedding. How many people attended the wedding and he would like to see some pictures.
Believe it or not, we went through over a 100 pictures in my Album, and asked me about 3 or 4 of people in the pictures.
At the end, he said "Did you know if your I-130 was approved?" I said No, I am not sure if it is approved or not. He said that is weird... You case is approved and every thing is cleared, but how come you or I don't have any approval on your I-130. "I will find out". Than he wrote an email to Califonia Service center and he told me they usually respond on the same day. Otherwise, I would have stamped your approval today, but I just need them to send me the I-130 approval first.
At the end, he said you are all set.
I asked "May I ask a question"
He said: sure go ahead.
I said: Is my name cleared from the FBI
IO : Yes, every thing was cleared and you are approved, but I am just waiting for a response from the California Service Center on my email.
I asked: How about my I-131. Any idea? I need to travel.
He looked at his Computer, and he said you are travelling Dec 14th.
I said : Yes.
He said, I told you, by then you will have your approval.
Till now, I am confused... How come he got every thing approved while my I-130 is not approved yet?
By the way, I took my 2 months Kid with me, and I bet that this was the reason that he didn't ask more questions. Because her left his chair and looked at my baby and smiled. He said: So quiet. I said yes
I asked the officer, should I contact USCIS for an updates or Should I call to see what happened with my I-130?
He said, umm. Just wait, and I will stamp your approval as soon as I get a response from them.
That was my interview...It took about 25 minutes, bec he spent about 5 minutes on the email, and about 10 minutes on the pictures. (LOL)
So, I think I have to wait now and see what will happen next. No LUD on any form today, but I hope they update that next week.
