Interview Completed!
Heyyyy Guys,
Had my interview this morning and I aced it.
) Here is the story...we went to Philly office at 8Am for my 8:30Am appointment. There were 6 or 7 pairs already waiting in the room and we signed and took a seat. A couple of people were called in and we just sat there thinking they were going to call us only after the people who were already waiting. But at 8:20Am, the officer called my name and we went in and the officer asked me where I worked and since I work in a Bank, he made some comment (not funny) about it. Anyway, he is the OFFICER, he can say anything rite? ;-) So, we took the oath and he asked my husband for his US passport/Naturalization Certificate, his and my driver’s license, my passport, Marriage certificate and birth certificates of both. He took my I-94 and then he asked my husband..
1. Were you guys married in India?
2. How did you guys meet?
3. Whats your wife’s Birthdate?
Then he asked me, do you know your husband’s Birthdate, your wedding date and then he went over some ques in my I-130 and I-485. Then he asked me can u show some proof of you living together. I gave the Bank Statements, Mortgage monthly Stmt, Auto/Home Insurance etc., Then he asked do you guys have any wedding pics, so I gave him the BIG Album from my wedding. He is like “WOW” and then he skipped thru few photos and asked me can you give me a picture of you and your husband from the Album. I gave him one. Then he said do you have any other ques or wanted to show me anything else(??). I asked “Is my name check cleared?”, he said “Everything looks good”. Then I asked “Would you be stamping my passport today”, he said “No, we don’t do that anymore, but are you planning to travel?”. I said “No”, then he said “So, you are all set, you should get your GC in a month”.
) Then he went to make some copies of our passports and EAD. He once again asked if we have any ques, I said “No” and then he said “Unless my boss has any question or wanted more information, you wouldn’t be asked for any more documents and you should get your GC soon”
That’s it, we are out of the office by 8:35Am. It was very smooth and its all over in like 10 mins. I am VERY HAPPY and will go out to celebrate today evening, rite now I am stuck at work.
Thanks so much, without you all I couldn’t have done this. Will post once I get my GC. I wish everyone else a VERY GOODLUCK!!
P.S: My I-130 still doesn’t show up online and I-485 still shows “Received and Pending”.
Thanks,
Priya
