My interview (11/10)was really weird!!!
I have a FL drivers license and the officer said that it conflicts with the fact that I live with my husband. I explained that I have had the DL before I got married and before I met my husband. As a visitor I travelled a lot and i did not meet NY requirements. I just didn't change it over-I hate the fact that you really do have to think about "them" with all decisions! He would have a hard time proving that I live in FL anyway- I have been working, living and going to school in NY.
He asked me where and how we met- I gave him a 2-3 sentence answer and he said that's it? I was like yeah, you are asking me how we met right? He said yes, but is there anything else such as how did he get your tele#- I felt really on the spot because I didn't have too much more to say. I added that I met him through my brother so he already had the number and he called me one day, we went out and we've been dating ever since. I got nervous because i was like what the hell does he want me to say. I didn't say anything else- I spoke the truth and just kept it just like that.
He asked my husband where he works- he said in CT. He asked him why CT and if they didn't have anyhting in NY? I live a stone throw away from CT. I was like huh???? that's a weird one. CT is pretty much right there especially from the Bronx. He then said so you have a car right? - yes I do.
My time again- do you work? I answered.
He left the room for a few after that. He came back asked for the documents that are being submitted. I gave him all the docs- I had originals and copies of everything. He flipped through gave us back original stubs and certificates, passports and said okay I am going to write pending in your passport and i said okay. He then said that's it! My husband and I said "that's it" right after each other. He said yes- you will receive a notice in the mail. I was so confused when I left because I expected to be asked more questions and I thought we would have gone through the documents submitted together. If I was thinking straight I would have asked him pending what? and directly asked if I was approved. I even forgot that he had originals for other documents in the package. I now have to figure out how to get it back.
Anyways- always know the name of the officer- ask for a card.
Don't leave the room as I did without directly asking what the hell happened here. Listen to what others say but don't expect to have the same question/answer interview as others because you will be caught off guard and when you gain composure- it's going to be too late.
I thought I would have known the outcome right there and then. From what I've been reading, you might get a letter saying congrats- you might get a letter requesting another interview- if it's "your" day, you'll get a stamp in your passport and the GC in the mail.
I guess I'm just waiting to get something (anything) in the mail. From what I have seen online it could take any where from a month to.... (some people are still waiting).
