interview experience
I forgot when this case actually started(just lazy to look all the paperworks)but as I remember it was 1998 when we started the EDD process then after a year(1999) the labor certification and then another year(2000) for I-140 by that time it was already 2001 and on Feb.2002 that's the time we apply for I-485 and EAD and from there on the only thing that we could do is wait and 2004 came that's where our case got transfered from CSC to LA office (Sept.28 2004) after 3 months (Dec.28 2004) we got a letter from LA for interview on Jan.28 2004 and Finger Print on Jan.12 2005.We are scheduled @7:30 am we went there at 5:00 am the door open at 7:00 am make sure you dont have a camera or camera phone or they will not let you in regular cel.phone is o.k, We are in room 8540 8th floor,we put our appointment letter in a box and they called us a african- american lady interviewed us.She ask primarily about my job (duties and responsibilities,manpower, etc.)and also about my family, I think in every case there are different questions that an officer could throw on you, like mine employment base,they ask me about my father a US citizen and also we didn't bring an attorney in our interview.The officer interviewed me first then my wife and kids so it took about 3 1/2 hours all in all.
This are the documents the officer ask us:
Employment Letter, Employers Tax Return(01,02,03),Employers DE-6 and DE-3
Our Tax Return(01'02'03), W-2's, last 4 paystubs, Birth Certificate of everybody(NSO), Marriage Cert.(NSO),passport pictures, old and new passports, I-94,if you have your 2004 w-2's bring that also, in short bring all the documents that you have organized it accordingly make 2 binders one for original and the other for photocopies, like us we brought everything from utility bills,family pictures,bank account ,certificate of experience, ss card,school ID, it is better to prepare everything rather than to forget a simple document.
