GREAT THANKS to Jugnu, Catseyes, Barbara Lamb and all other gurus and forum the whole!
We had an interview. While the three of us had different time scheduled (B:00, B:30, C:00) we came together at A:45
. I gave all three invitation letters to officer behind window and we took seats in a waiting area. There were people already waiting. It came to mind that USCIS were a bit late of schedule because the officer called us all three together around B:40.
In the office we have been told to remain standing, raise right hand and swear that we will tell true and only true. After that we took seats. During whole interview the office door remained open. The officer first asked who “Name 1” is, who “Name 2” is, who “Name 3” is. After that officer asked for the passports and driver licenses. I placed SS cards on the table too.
Officer took passports only, but probably had a look at the driver licenses. Officer opened my folder and put something down to first page of I-485. Then officer asked some 4 – 5 YES/NO questions from I-485, you know, “Have you been arrested, deported, assisted, discriminated any one?” We had answered all together and officer put down some marks to form. Then officer asked: "Do you have children living outside your family?" "Is this your first mariage?" Then officer asked do we still live at filed address, do we have such a telephone number; what is our visa status, does it still valid. Next, I believe, was the last question of the interview: about my (education) degree. Officer opened other two folders (for the spouse and the kid) and put down some mark without asking for any longer questions. Ah, when officer looked through spouse’s folder something grabbed her attention on last page and said:”You had…” Then officer paused, looked a little bit more and said:” Forget it”. We feel real relieve (phew) though!
Officer detached I-94 from our passports and stapled them to our packages. While officer was doing this we saw some stuff inside our folders: I recall I-485, G-325A, IRS transcripts. NOW, we also saw forms (DS/DSP) and photos we have sent down to KCC as it was instructed in my NL (We saw copy of original photos from the 2005 entry too!). (I recall it is VERY IMPORTANT to follow all instructions KCC and USCIS has provided along with forms).
Officer gave our passports back to us and asked to put away from the desk all our papers. Then officer stepped out of the office with our folders asking us to wait inside. It was not longer than 3-5 minutes. After back officer was started to use PC computer and Bar Code scanner. There were some few tense (for us) moments when PC had given some few beep sound signals (kind of ones accompanying error pop-ups in MS Windows).
Officer turned to us and said: “I approve your case. Congratulations. You will get cards in a mail by 30 days”. After we thank her I asked would I need our I-94s’ for citizenship application and officer told no, we will need only GC for that. That was all. :-D

By the way, which office [city] conducted your interview?
Cogratulations man, finally!!!!. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your story.GREAT THAKS to Jugnu, Cateye, Barbara Lamb and all other gurus and forum the whole!
We had an interview on August 1st. While the three of us had different time scheduled (10:00, 10:30, 11:00) we came together at 9:45
In the office we have been told to remain standing, raise right hand and swear that we will tell true and only true. After that we took seats. During whole interview the office door remained open. The officer first asked who “Name 1” is, who “Name 2” is, who “Name 3” is. After that she asked for the passports and driver licenses. I placed SS cards on the table too. When I accidentally placed my wallet on a table the officer promptly asked to put wallet away. Paperwork, envelops are OK, though.
Officer took passports only, but probably had a look at the driver licenses. She opened my folder and put something down to first page of I-485. Then she asked some 4 – 5 YES/NO questions from I-485, you know, “Have you been arrested, deported, assisted, discriminated any one?” We had answered all together and officer put down some marks to form. Then she JUST ASKED do we still live at filed address, do we have such a telephone number; what is our visa status, does them still valid. Next, I believe, was the last question of the interview: about my (education) degree. Officer opened other two folders (for the spouse and the kid) and put down some mark without asking for any longer questions.

Thanks! We've been in Philadelphia, PA Thanks and all the best to you too! We've been in Philadelphia, PANo, I didn't submit DSP-122 with passports or their copies.
According to the NL instruction-2007 I sent {DSP-122+ full face photo (2”x2”)} and {DS-230+ full face photo (2”x2”)} for me. Plus two {DS-230+ full face photo (2”x2”)} for spouse and kid. This is the FIRST STEP for both CP or AOS applicants (Pay attention please – instruction says “passport size full face photo” -> it denotes U.S. passport).
One more point - this topic is for the interview expirience and your quession is off-top (sorry). Next time you could send personal message for such kind of quessions, though.

I want to thank everyone in this forum. I had my interview yesterday and it went well. It lasted less than 10 Minutes. Questions were taken from the forms essentially and status in the US noted. I had copies of every useful documents required sent to them with the mail to Chicago Drop Box.
So I was told they will order the VISA packets and should be here in about a month. I believe it will come earlier than that.
Thanks once again and I wish everyone Godspeed.

Coldstar,
Very often officers don't check the file (I-485 etc.) carefully enough, so they ask for what they know is the norm. In my case they didn't ask for the medicals in the letter but at the interview. I told the officer it was already in the package. He looked and found it.
If you already sent it then just tell them at the time of interview.

Hi guys,
Today we went for interview in Memphis USCIS and everything went pretty smooth.My wife GC is approved and mine is pending due to background checks.The officer said it is on average taking 4-6 months and mine was initiated in october.
He just verified the basic information name,address,parents first names etc.He also verified std yes or no questions of I485 application.
We were asked to show
-Passports & Id's
-Birth Certificates
-Marriage Certificate
-DV fee Receipt
Our interviewer were a nice guy and it seemed if I had insisted he had given me his e-mail address for status checks.
Anyway we have kind of mix feelings and hoping my NC will clear soon.

Hi. I had my interview last Friday (2nd). My interview was actually done at my local Application Support Center (instead of local district office which is about 4 hrs away). My very small local ASC office has only one officer who conducts interviews. Needless to say he didn't know anything about DV interviews, he actually admitted he's never interviewed anyone for DV. He started asking me about Affidavit of Supports, and I told him that Affidavit of support is not required for diversity visas (I'm actually on H-1B and I had all the papers to prove my financials). I think he got more confused, and then he decided to phone someone at the district office to be explained what he should be asking I think he was like at least 5 minutes on the phone. After he hang up, he just said that my case and interview is very easy. He just asked what my job was, and asked to see my NL and he made a copy of it (there was actually one in his file already, but I didn't want to contradict him anymore). He then said that's it, and I will be receiving a letter from my local district office in the mail. I did ask him if he doesn't need to stamp my passport, but he said that my H-1B is still valid, so I don't need stamp Now I'm just waiting

Hi All.
Today Was A Hectic Day :d
We Went To Our Interview. It Was At 8:00 Am And We Left Home At 5:30 Thinking There Will Be Traffic On The Way To New Orleans. It's A 1.5 Hour Road Normally. We Went With Our 10 Months Old Son.
We Arrived Before The Doors Open. We Waited In The Waiting Room For About 45 Minutes Or So. Mine And My Husband's Interviews Were 30 Minutes Apart But They Called For Both Of Us.
Our Officer Was A Lady. She Was Kind But Very Serious And Professional-like. The Interview Lasted For About 10 Minutes. She Had Us Sworn And Got Right To Questions. It Was More Like A Question-answer Dialog More Than A Conversation.
She Asked Me (i'm The Principal Winner) My Name, Address, Parents Name, Etc. She Was Checking The Answers On The Forms. She Asked The Questions Like If I Ever Did Anything Illegal And Stuff.
The Out Of Form Questions She Asked Me Were, "did You Get Any Help From The Government Like Welfare, Food Stamps, Etc."
I Told Her That I've Received Medicare. She Said "because Of Pregnancy I Think" And I Told Her "yes, And I've Received Wic" She Said "alright".
She Asked Me If I've Applied Any Schools, I Said "no"
We Gave Her The I-134 Affidavit Of Support Forms For Both Of Us (1 For Me And 1 For My Husband, Separately). We Couldn't Have Sent Them With Our Aos Package Because We Couldn't Get Them In Time.
Then She Questioned My Husband And Checked His Answers On The Forms. My Husband Is A Master Graduate And Was On His Opt During The Last Year. She Asked Him "what Have You Been Doing With Your Opt?" He Said That He Were Looking For Jobs But Couldn't Find Any Because Of The Opt Visa Status. Employers Want People Who Are Us Citizens Or Have Green Cards. They Don't Want Any One With A Short Visa. He Told Her That He Had Several Interviews And Job Offers But Couldn't Get Any Of Them Because Of This Visa Status.
We Showed Her Our Job Offers From Several Companies That Were Sent Via Email. She Wanted To Keep Them.
She Asked "how Have You Been Supporting Yourself Since You Didn't Have A Job?" We Told Her That We Brought Some Money With Us And Our Families Are Supporting Us Also. She Didn't Ask Any Proof Of Supporting Or Money Travel.
She Asked If We Have Tax Returns For 2006, We Told Her Since We Didn't Have A Job, We Didn't Have Any Tax Returns For 2006 But We Showed Her The Tax Returns For 2003, 2004 And 2005.
Finally, She Told Us That She Need To Talk With Her Supervisor And We Will Receive The Decision About Our Case Before September.
She Didn't Say We're Approved Or Not. She Didn't Tell If Our Name Checks Have Been Cleared. She Wasn't Negative Or Cold.
We Were Waiting For An Approved New, So We Were A Little Tense After We Leave The Office.
I've Prepared 2 Separate Folders Full Of Originals And Copies With Extra Copies In Case The Officer Would Ask. The Folders Were Huge And Heavy From All Those Paperwork. I Hope They Showed How Well Prepared We Were.
I'm Nervous Now And Waiting Is Like Hell. I Was Hoping To Get Our Case Approved At The Interview And Come Home Relaxed And Happy. My Online Case Status Hasn't Been Changed Since The Day We've Sent Our Aos Package So That Doesn't Help Any Bit.
I Hope We Can Get The Green Card In A Week Or Two. There's Nothing Wrong Or Missing With Our Case According To Us. Everything Is Appropriate. I Hope We Get An Answer Soon.
I Apologize If I've Written So Long. I'm Really Nervous But Wanted To Let You Know About My Interview.
If You Have Any Idea Or Suggestion For Me Please Let Me Know. Thanks So Much For All Of You.

At the interview the officer will have looked through your AOS package and the forms sent by KCC, as a matter of fact you will be asked to sign one of them after taking the oath.

Interview, NC pending and a hope!
We had our interview yesterday on March 15. My wife was the winner. She got approval instatntly, we went for biometrics on January 18th and finger prints. He asked name, dob, address, current status and same yes no questions from I485. He told me Name check takes a long time (4-6moths), Once he get Name ckeck results he will adjust the status. I asked him by when I can expect the approval. He told me they maintain a database where DV cases are higlighted. If they do not receive or hear anything from FBI by the end of July then they expedite the process. So he told me not to worry they give the DV Name Check cases priority after July as it ends on September 30th. So we can not do anything but keep praying.

GC approved
02/12/2007: Interview: Officer went over the forms we filled to make sure that everything was correct and that we had all the supporting documents. We were asked to submit a local police report as soon as possible so that the green cards could be processed. Officer told us that once she put in the request we should receive the GC in 7-10 business days. We were also told that there were plenty of visa numbers available. A letter from Wife's employer stating her annually salary and health insurance policy (for both of us) was good enough for financial support. To be on the safe side we took financial support documents from a sponsor to the interview just incase but were never asked about any further financial support documents. Make sure you have a local police clearance report just in case some local offices require it. The officer was a really nice african american lady.

Hi all,
I wanted to share the good news from my side! Yesterday we went for the interview. Nothing special. Lady just checked our documents. For the students I would advise to have an enrollment verification letter from your school. When she asked to show something proving that we are still in status, I just showed these two letters (one for me and one for my husband, issued last week). She didn't even checked our I-20s. Everything was faster than I thought it will be. Then she said that now she needs to order our visa numbers. Then we get the welcome letter, and cards will be ordered. But when we got back, our online status changed to: card production ordered. And today it changed to: notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident. Big relief...
I also wanted to thank all of you guys for sharing the information. Without this forum we would be so lost

We were asked to submit a local police report as soon as possible so that the green cards could be processed. Officer told us that once she put in the request we should receive the GC in 7-10 business days. We were also told that there were plenty of visa numbers available. A letter from Wife's employer stating her annually salary and health insurance policy (for both of us) was good enough for financial support. To be on the safe side we took financial support documents from a sponsor to the interview just incase but were never asked about any further financial support documents. Make sure you have a local police clearance report just in case some local offices require it. The officer was a really nice african american lady.

Hello Everyone,
I had my interview yesterday, it was so easy, pretty much everything was about the question in my I-485.

Hi all,
I wanted to share the good news from my side! Yesterday we went for the interview. Nothing special. Lady just checked our documents. For the students I would advise to have an enrollment verification letter from your school. When she asked to show something proving that we are still in status, I just showed these two letters (one for me and one for my husband, issued last week). She didn't even checked our I-20s. Everything was faster than I thought it will be. Then she said that now she needs to order our visa numbers. Then we get the welcome letter, and cards will be ordered. But when we got back, our online status changed to: card production ordered. And today it changed to: notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident. Big relief...
I also wanted to thank all of you guys for sharing the information. Without this forum we would be so lost

Thank you guys for the information. The case of Entermate was AOS. I have a scheduled visa interwiew in Aug 20th, 2007. I and my wife are Iranian and don't live in U.S. I'm interseted to know if any body has interview experience for such cases which is not AOS. Meantime my wife is 6-month pregnant so i'd like to know what questions we will be asked about that .
Regards

Would this be useful for CP processing? Has anyone had success?
