Thanks swtblcn23 and everyone else on here. Our interview was this morning and I was approved!
We arrived 40 minutes early and were out of the building within a half hour, nice and speedy. Ladies, go light on the accessories because you have to take them off to go through the metal detector, men same thing with belts. And be prepared to pull your pant legs up to show the tops of your boots! The Dallas office hands out pagers and we only had to wait for 10 minutes before ours went off.
The interview was short and sweet. The IO asked very few questions. Had we been married before? Do we have any kids? When did I last enter the US? What documentation did I show at the border? Then he had me confirm my full name, birth date, address and cell number. He wanted to see the originals of our birth certificates and marriage certificate, passports, social security cards and driver's licenses, and copies of our joint bills. He took 4 photos from an album I'd put together and that was it! Then the IO said, "I'm going to approve you today and you should receive your card in the mail in 3 weeks." He added the disclaimer about the green card being conditional and told me not to leave the US until I had the card in hand.
Good luck to everyone still waiting!
I think you'll be fine don't worry! Just explain to IO if you are asked why you don't have joint car insurance or lease.hey guys ,i received IL for 15th December and i am a little bit worried. Me and my husband have no joint health insurance as we have no insurance, car insurance-they told him we cant have it joint unless i have US driving licence and i still have not such.He moved the apartment before me ,so the lease is only on his name,the utilities also. All we have is joint bank account which we opened back in may and our family plan on cell phones.But we had big wedding with many pictures and friends ,we keep our cards we sent to each other in the past when i was back to my country and we can print out his ticket when he came to visit me in europe ,also tickets that we went together to Rome, Do you think this will be enough for the interview as a proof of our true marriage?
Congrats to all! And sending good vibes to those still waiting.
Permanent resident card arrived in today's mail! The end... for now =)

Hi guys! My husband and I went to our interview this morning and we passed! Yay! After waiting for an hour, we were called in by the IO who looked nice and friendly. He let us in his office and have us sworn in. He then asked for our DL and passports. He asked for my full name, birthdate, and address. Then he said that my fingerprints are not clear although I did it twice at my ASC. He even looked at my fingers LOL! He asked me if I have been arrested I said "No, sir." Any speeding tickets? "Nope." He then asked me to get a police clearance from my neighborhood just to make sure that I did not commit any crime. But later on, he changed his mind and said he will just run a name check.
When asked about my son, he said make sure to bring him here before he turns 18 otherwise there will be a very long wait for a visa number. My husband was asked for his name, SSN, and birthdate. The IO asked my husband how did we meet, when did we started dating, how long were we engaged. Also asked if he have met any of my family, if he talked to them, etc. He asked for our birth certificates, marriage certificate and my husband recent employment certificate.
Finally, he said after I run a name check and your cleared, you will receive your GC in the mail in the next two weeks or two months.
So it was short and sweet! He didn't even looked at the album that I brought! In fact, he returned all the pictures we submitted with our application. Haha!
Good luck to all those who are waiting for their interview! Thank you guys! By the way, I got an email that USCIS ordered production of my GC today at 4pm. So I guess I don't have a criminal record LOL! Woohoo!!
Congrats! I had my interview yesterday in the morning as well, and still haven't got any update. Is it normal since the IO said I should get an email update from uscis prior to leaving his office.
Thanks!
