My interview experience!
I had my interview today (8/17) for case EB 3, which was filed in July 2003.
My interview was at 10am and I, my husband and our interpreter (my hubby doesn’t speak English well) reached the building around 9am. Waiting in the cafeteria room (2nd FL) until 9.30 to upstairs, handed in our interview letters to a staff in Window 2. After about 1 hour 45 minutes waiting, we were called in. An officer took our right index finger fingerprints and led us to his cubicle.
The officer is very serious, but he is straight forward. He first asked me to give him the passports and medical exams. I told him the medical exams should be in the file. He checked out my file folder, and found it.
Then he asked me where I work now, I replied company A. He asked me prove it, and I gave him the letter from my employer. He questioned why my working company name is different from my application. I told him the company was merged by company B. He asked me to prove it again, so I gave him a published article to him.
Third, he asked for the tax returns for last three years (I’m surprised that I didn’t take my W2s and check stubs).
Fourth, he asked to prove where I and my husband lived together, so I gave him the copy of our house dead with both of our names on it. Then, he asked regular questions to my husband about his employment. Our representative interpreted to my husband and answered the question to the officer.
In the end, he said since Visa numbers are unavailable, my file will remain pending. Approval once numbers are available and the GC will be mailed to our home directly.
Like many of others, we still need to wait, but the time is worthwhile.
