interview expirience
Yesterday we had interview in Mt Laurel, NJ.
Very nice office and very nice officers.
We were invited all together ( family with 12 yo boy)
After the promice to tell the truth we were informed, that the officer knows, that the fiscal year very close to the end, and he will try to do his best, to finish the process today. He explained us, how we shall proceed through the case.
He had in front of him 3 our cases, with the big sticked sign- SPECIAL HANDLING-DV.
(unfortunately it tooks us 5 month before we came to the interview, documents were sent to Chicago at April,13.)
We were asked first to give the passports, originals of birth certificates, marriage sertificate, all terminated marriages sertificates.
After the officer asked, if we have affidavit of support.
As, keeping in mind Yoni's words, that it is 5.55 pm,
, we brought with us all what we could bring- about 30lbs of AAAALL documents we found in house,also affidavit forms I-864 and I-134 from our friends for the whole family, and also we took with us interpreter-lawer. To be absolutely sure, that 5 minutes, left before office would be closed at 6 pm, would be enough for us to get approval.
We gave him I-864.
After officer asked, if my husband, principal applicant, working, and if he has any papers from his work.
We gave letter from the work, with his position and salary amount per year.
After the officer start asking us, one by one, questions. Names, if we have middle names, names of parents,date of last entering Usa,address in Usa, date of birth,place of birth, how many kids we have totally, including adult kids, if we had shots this year, how is our health, what kind of business do we have, if our sponsor is our relative,(we told no, it is our friends), if we were arrested,,,etc, from I-485 form.
Our son was also asked which school he is going, and which sport he is playing.
After he took all originals of the documents and went to copy them.
In the nice atmosphere, with a lot of jokes, we finished the interview. the officer took out ours I-94 out of the passports at the beggining.
He told he need to confirm the visas numbers with DOS, and we can go home, or, if we like stay, in the waiting hall, until he will finish, and ordered the cards. We told we shall wait. The officer also asked us not to move from the current address, before we shall recieve the cards, and if we will have any emergency, and need to leave Usa for the business trip, we must do infopass and ask for the special stamp in the passport.
In 20 minutes, he invited us again, told the he approved the case and ordered the cards. I checked in the USCIS website, our case was in C/DP.
(But 2 hours later, we got the SMS that our case moved back to DECISION status, and that they mailed to us approval letter.)
We thanked the officer and left the office. It tooks us about 1,5 hour, including the waiting, and 1,5year of our lifes, after we got that magic yellow envelope from KCC.Now we need to wait and stay alert few weeks more, before we shall( I hope)recieve the cards.
Good luck to all, who are still waiting for the interview.
And thanks to all forum members, who was supporting us with very usefull information.
