Interview today, a bit mixed about it. We went in unrehearsed, as we both thought honesty was the best policy.
We showed up in Philly 45 minutes before interview, went through security and they called us within minutes of giving them my appointment notice.
We had a younger, Asian woman who spoke halting English-it was difficult at times to understand her. She was a strict no nonsense officer.
She swore us in and then asked my husband questions on the application, what is your name, date of birth etc.
Then she asked how we met, asked him my parents names, and dates of birth, my birthdate, where I was born. What did we have in common, how did we meet. When was the first time we met, how long we had known. We did not elaborate on questions, just gave responses. She then asked me the same questions about him, and asked for more copies of proof of relationship. We did not have much, as I am unable to work. I think we had joint auto insurance, 4 affidavits, and 5-6 photos (neither one of us actually LIKE photos taken). She seemed a bit perturbed that we didn't have more and stated so.
after a round of questions at both of us ie. why our parents weren't at our wedding etc., she told me to leave the room.
She asked my husband a series of questions-what is your sons name, how old is he (he is not my son), when we get to see him, if hubs ex had custody etc. What we did when he was there last, if he had bought me any gifts, if we had ever been away from the house since being married, if we had favourite foods, or disliked certain ones. (i'm sure i'm forgetting more questions she asked). Then she sent him out to the waiting room and asked me the same questions alone. I answered honestly, and when I didn't give her full enough answers, she questioned further, I think trying to get me to answer the right thing, which was nice. She then asked if I had any questions, and told us we would have an answer in 30 days.
I was a bit bummed that they didn't give us approval right away, as we weren't being fraudulent, and had been honest with everything. But after reviewing our answers with each other, we actually answered almost every one similarly.
ps. Thanks for the tip about the SSN--I just called the office, and they told me they have it, and I can pick the receipt up anytime!

Just came back from Infopass appointment- which was even worse than calling on the phone- the lady was extremely rude, first it was so hard to even understand what she was saying since her English was seemed limited - she said my file is still at visa center I told her customer service told me that it was sent to Hicksville she started telling me dont push her , i didnt even tel her anything I just asked her how longer more should I wait.

Nymory, has your online status changed at all? MIne hasn't. We were interviewed 11/29
This is extremely unfortunate, I was hoping at least provide us with proper wait times,, there is a clause to expedite the process have you delved into it?
Thanks BVK - looks like I should have done the infopass appointment earlier - the officer called me yesterday and told me my biometrics has been scheduled for dec 20th - That was just verbal Im still awaiting the letter.
finally something is moving along
Happy for you Immiqrous...now u can breathe a sigh of relief....prayer still works. Just keep the faith
