All- Thanks for the well wishes and prayers.
Here are the details of the interview.....(My interview was kinda a replica of JBlack's, but it was done by a man)
The Interview was scheduled for 9am and we got there at 830am. I told my spouse we should wait in the car until 855 because they might record whats going on in the lobby but it was too cold and I caved in to her convincing me of going in. We entered the building and handed our appt letter to the security lady. We went through the metal detector and the lady instructed us to drop the letter in box 2(for interview).
We then sat down in the lobby and watched t.v. and there were 2 people that I noticed where there for biometrics and about 3 other couples that came for interviews. We were sitting for about 30 mins and I noticed that there were two IO(man and woman) calling in people for interviews. We were called by the man.
He asked us to follow him into his office. He asked us how we were doing(that was a good sign
). When we got there he introduced himself and had a last name that I could not decipher. He was probably mexican american. We were about to sit down when he told u to remain standing and that is when we took oath. After oath he asked for IDs and my passport. He made copies of both IDs and the passport page with my ID info. He removed the I-94 and stapled it to the I-485. I noticed him scribble some letters on the visa pages on my passport. The he started going through I-130 with my wife and ocassionally would ask me questions like her birthday and place of birth. He went through all the questions in the I-130. At the end he asked my wife if it was her signature on there.
He then went through the I-485 with me and he asked my wife when was the last time I came to the US. He asked what my occupation was to which I said student. He went through most(90%) of the yes/No questions and then asked me if it was my signature at the bottom.
After that he asked when we met and how we met. He asked me again when we got married and then asked my wife when I proposed( He actually said "When did he pop the question?"). He also asked how many people where at the wedding.
Then he asked what else do we have to show our relationship. I told him a had copies and the originals of the documents. I started with the car title, then IRS transcript of joint taxes, then bank statements, then car insurance policy with bills, then cable bill. He was looking at each document quickly (glancing). Then i told him we had pictures. He said he was going to look at them in a minute. He took all the documents and hole punched them at the top and added them to out case file. He then went through the photos and just asked my wife if his dad was in the military. It was a friend of ours, not my dad in law. He then commented that it seemed I was nervous when we got married. The only other comment he made when going through the pictures was the military friend of ours who was in the pictures.
After the pictures he said that since we have not been married for 2 years, we will get a conditional resident card in 30 days. He then explained all about removing conditions and that we need to collect more evidence. He gave me a form to sign that we will file to remove conditions( He actually got a wrong form first). He then asked us if we had any questions and we said no. We thanked him. He then said he was still going to review the file in the afternoon. Then he escorted us out of his office.
When we got home I checked my passport and the visa pages are crossed off with a red pen and the letters "CWOP" are scripted diagonally on the pages. I dont know what that means. I have been trying to fiqure it out. I dont know if it means case withheld on processing or what????
That was it. There were no tricky questions and we were not separated. It probably lasted btw 15-20 minutes. I have not received a CPO but hopefully I get it next week. If you have any questions let me know and thanks to everyone in this forum and especially this thread. It seems like all 5 of us got approved this week and lets keep this thread rolling.
I am so glad that this is over and I can concentrate on my preparing for my finals that are coming this week.
