1-485 interview for Alien husband in SF, CA
Came to the USCIS building for 8:30am appointment, was stopped by the security guard as seeing my mobile phone has a built-in camera, asked to go to deposit the phone in a photostore across the street. Got into the door, passed x-ray gate, submitted notice form, then waited in the waiting zone till called by a lady officer.
The officer noticed our album in the bag, then asked to pick and check while we were walking on the hallway, and she looked like our editing works. After sitting in her office, she opened out our files we sent previously ( we punched the fastener holes on the files, it is really convenient for USCIS staff to straightly combine into their own folder), then started to ask questions:
When you met each other?
Since your first meet, how many times you met again, and when, where?
What date is your marry date?
When's your first marriage date?
Show me what you had about your joint account evidence in your package?
Is this your most recent pay stubs? (for my USC wife)
What date you came to US last time?
Y/N questions.
When following to the terrorist questions, the officer especially asked if I knew what it is? I seriously answered the question in details.
Then the officer said that is all, and asked me to sign in a file with red stamp there. When I asked what is the next step we can expect, she said everything looks fine and now in security check order, we should get notice by mail in the near future. Then the officer showed us the exit way.
I myself felt the interview going smoothly, even though we didn't hear anything like "congratulations", "you passed" from the officer in the end. However, my wife was a little nervous since she didn't get what other successful petitioners got in this forum. Here is her questions looking for helpful answers:
1, When the officer said " now in security check order", what does it mean? name check phase after a good interview? or else?
2, When I signed the paper the officer handed in the end, what the paper is about? what the red stamp in the signing place means? (I was too reckless to check it clearly before signing)
3, My I-94 was not taken out from my passport by the officer and my passport didn't get stamped too ( I noticed from this forum that stamping is not necessary any longer), is it normal?
Thanks a lot in advance
