Natta, I'm so happy for you. I can imagine how frustrating it was! St. Nickolas (Santa) gave you a very good present for Christmas. Now you can relax and get prepared for the interview. Believe me, after the 5th of January you'll feel even more relieved and happier!!!!!
Great news Natta, very happy for you
Thank you all, for the wishes. Am damn nervous! Am I taking all documents properly?? I hope so!

Hi All,
Finally, the interview is over!! The experience was not as smooth as most of you mentioned. Our interview was scheduled for 7.30AM. Woke up at 5AM and reached there by 7AM. I was waiting for my name to be called any moment, but to my surprise we were called at 9.15 AM. I was tired and hungry to death by then
Anyway, followed a nice lady to her room. She was nice but not like very much smiling all the time. Little rigid but nice kind of person :-|
1. First, she made us swear.
2. Then, it seems she opened my file for the first time. She looked through my documents (the documents we sent with AOS package) and asked for my passport, I-20, H1s, I-94. She seem very confused with all the docs. Then she asked me details of when I came, what am I doing now, what status I am in etc.
3. Then she asked for marriage certificate, and also if I have any other document, that is joint with my husband. So I gave her our join tax return docs.
4. After that, for a long time she organized the file, looking into each doc!!!!! I thought they analyze the file beforehand so the interview is quick. But she kinda went through everything/analyzed everything just before us.
5. In the middle of her file organization, she asked for my high school diploma!!!!!(I am done with Masters, but she wasn't interested in my MS/BS certificate even when I wanted to give those, I was confused if she knows that someone cannot have BS/MS without high school diploma But I guess as one of the requirement for DV is high school diploma she just cared about that , well, she took all diploma certificates copy at the end though)
6. Finally, she asked what I'm doing now, and after telling she asked for employment letter and I gave her.
7. Then, she started asking all the basic questions, name address etc. and finally all the yes/no questions.
8. I was done, and the she started interviewing my husband. Talked about his details. Asked for his employment letter. Talked about his J2 2 year rule. She seem confused again, after explaining details and telling her that w/o completing the 2 year rule one can not have H1 which he has now!!! Fortunately she understood after the detail explanation.
9. And finally another funny part, she asked if I fill up the I-34, some affidavit of support form him or not. My understanding was that, he's giving employment letter and pay stubs to prove he can support himself, so I never fill that form. But, yet, she wanted to me to fill up the affidavit of support for him.
10. While I was filling up the form, she asked him all basic and yes/no questions.
After all these, she finally said, she would recommend this application and we should get GC by 3 weeks!! It was relieving, after all these hassle, finally its over!
Looking forward to get the card Thank you very much all, for your help! Wish all of you best of luck!

Thank you very much all, for your help! Wish all of you best of luck!Congratulations lipna. Your experience may not have been as smooth as others had, but it was a successful interview in the end, and that is the most important part.
As a side note, I do not think that I've heard of other interviews starting so late after the appointment time.
With such an early appointment, I think your interview must have been the first one scheduled. I wonder if you met the other three members while you were waiting for them to call you. I hope they come with positive results as well.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I didn't sleep all night to wait for interview and was afraid if I sleep, I'll wake up late. I was at FO at 7:15 and my interview was supposed to be 7:30. However, I waited till 8am.
African American Lady called my name first and I was in her office (it was very hard and painful interview).
First I swore to tell the truth;
Then she asked for my passport;
Opened my files;
Asked for I-20 original and copy but I told her I forgot the original at home. However, I have a Associate's degree college transcript to back up my status.
Then she asked for HS Diploma; it was strange since I was in process of getting my Associate's degree. I gave her original and copy, she evaluated it and gave me back the original one. Same thing with birth certificate.
Then she asked when I started college; I told her Spring 2009
Yes/No questions were followed;
THEN A BIG BUMP ahead of me. While getting my I-693 she told me that page 2 was incomplete. I'm like: "The doctor said page 2 is N/A to me" She's like: "Ok. but she had to check the box and indeed my f****k**g civil surgeon didn't do it.
OMG! She made me to go back to the civil surgeon back in Brooklyn, I had fight with them, and they did me new I-693 in a sealed envelope with the damn checked box on page 2.
By the time I came back it was 12:30pm, this interview madness lasted for me 5 hours and thank's god finally the nightmare was over.
Let's continue with the story. I brought her back new I-693 with a sealed envelope. When she opened it, told me now 2 boxes on page 5 is not checked. I'm like: OMG! How come? I'm like: They're stupids (I wanted to look professional but I couldn't handle it anymore). I went 3 times there and always there's a mistake. She's like: Ok, it's fine, I will use the old I-693 to back up the new one.
The best moment was: "I ordered your card production". It should arrive in mail by January.
I said thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Good bye.
