Dear Feel,
Thak you for your encouragement!
Dear Winners,
I had my interview today in NYC office. My interview was very smooth and Thank God,it was easy and a very happy time.
preview of my situation: single and current status: under the umbrella of AOS since october 10 ( my J1 internship visa expired on oct 10, 2010, i have no visa right now, no visa status, my only status is I485 in pending)
my interview was supposed to be at 10:30am. i got there at 9:45am. I had my interview at 12:30 or so. It only lasted 10 minutes. I had my interview with Raymond Wong, a very nice young immigration officer. he apologized to make me wait and said there are only two IO dealing with DV cases in this office today. he made me swear to say teh truth when we got into his office. then interview started
He asked me to show: birth certifiate, High school diploma (i showed him my masters and bachelors degree but he said he did not need it), passeport, I94, and the paid receipt, the NL1. He did not ask me much at all. I had tons of documents. I gave him some documents he did not ask for, like the notarized letter for the translation of all my documents, and barcode and NL2. I had a letter of notarization for all my translated documents (about 25 pages). he barely had a look on the birth certificate. he did not read any document at all or any translation. He looked at it in its general aspect.
You must know that he did not request me some documents that the attached letter originally mentionned. For instance, he did not ask for my I-134 affidavit of support. However, I provided the I134 form and supporting evidence when i first sent my AOS package on september. He had my entire file on his desk. He was looking at it when he was looking at the original documents. But on the attached letter i was asked to bring a birth certificate of my sponsor which I had today but he did not ask me for it. When i sent my AOS package on sept,i sent my sponsor bank statement and i also made a mistake I sent a very detailed paystub, and not a letter from my sponsor's manager explaining the nature of her position like the I134 instructions recommended. I had this letter today at the interview. But the IO did not ask anything about affidavit of support.
we had the Yes or No series of questions. he reconfirmed with me my address, where i was born, my date of birth. he wrote on a page of my passeport: "NYC 12/16/10 ISO R.Wong Sec 245, pending 485, A number, DV6 or G" am ot sure if it is a G or 6.
and that was it. he said I am gonnna go on the department of state website to ask for an available visa. You will receive a welcome notification shortly. you will receive your card in the mail in a month or so. if you dont have it in a month, please come back to see us with an infopass. thank you very much. Goodbye Sir!
