Today I had the interview in Baltimore INS.
My RD 1/01, TD 6/4/01, ID 11/06/01, Off A (case recvd 6/21/01,box#151). Country is OTHER. The interview was successful, but they don\'t have my I-140 and LC in their file. Officer name was Angela Craft. They\'ve sent requests for I-140 to both VSC and NVC. NVC replied they don\'t have my docs. VSC didn\'t reply yet. They can send upto three requests with one month interval beetween them. The I-797 from I-140 doesn\'t have the note that the file was sent to consulate. IMHO it means the packet with I-140 and LC should stay in VSC. Seems VSC just didn\'t transfer all the docs to Baltimore on June. And this situation is quite frequent - my lawyer had the same situation earlier this day, and the officer had the same experience the same day.
As for the interview itself it was quite easy, all questions were simple and obvious, just the same as other people had. Officer asked to give her the current letter from emplyer, copy of the W-2 for 2000, copy of my 1040 (federal tax return), copy of my paystabs for last 3 month. She didn\'t ask to show her the originals of any birth or marriage certificates (she had the copies of them in the I-485 file). The questions were simple:
* postal address
* date of birth
* SSN
* city and country of birth
* the date and place of the last entry to U.S.
* employer, the position, the duties
* have I been arrested or deported
The questions to my wife and son were even more simple. Officer
asked each of us to verify the spelling of parents first names, put a
signature and make a fingerprint. That\'s it. All interview took about 30-35 minutes. So now I have to wait again, one to three month. But the goal is almost reached. Good luck to all!
