Hi Mom, Hi, everyone
Today my family and I had an interview. NY Queens FO scheduled at 09:00 am.
DHS Police Officer let us in around 08:30 am. Security check (airport style), and we headed to the 4th floor.
After check-in, we waited around 10 mins max before FO came and called us. The whole interview took for our three applications around 20 mins, with all bio details and yes/no questions. Very simple and smooth. In the end, FO said that at the moment, all look okay, and she just has to review everything, but the decision will still be made today.
She checked the originals of the following:
1. Birth Certificates
2. Marriage Certificate
3. Latest (for 2022) IRS Transcript
4. College Certificates.
5. Passports.
Street-Door-Street took us 1hr.
At 3:00 pm, the status for all of us changed to “New Card Being Produced - we ordered your new card”
I would like to say a HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to
@Sm1smom for the support and patience!!!
Also, all forum members as everyone contributed their experience and knowledge.
Thank you !!!
Fingers Crossed for the rest who are still waiting for interviews/positive results!
Ps.
There were two things that I stressed a little bit about:
1. During DV Entry, we reused an old photo for my wife - there was no issue at all.
2. 20 years ago, I was twice (2002,2003) on a J-1 visa ( without the 2y rule), but I didn’t have DS-2019 or IAP-66 anymore - they didn’t even ask about it.
DV 2023 AOS Timeline Spreadsheet - updated.
I will stick around till the end of FY. If anyone has any questions - feel free.
