GC Approved!!
Hello you guys,
we had our interview in Denver, CO today, and it was pretty smooth.
Our officer said that everything is looking good and that he is going to approve us, but he needs to run one more security check and if something is coming up he would give us a call. He said he is pretty sure that nothing will come up and that we should be getting the GC in the mail in two weeks.
Name check is cleared, too, so we have no clue what that other check might be. But everything sounded good, so we're pretty happy!
The Interview:
The interview was scheduled for 11:15, we arrived at 11:05, submitted the interview letter and waited for one hour. Time was passing by pretty fast though.
We were called in by a very young and nice looking guy, probably in his thirties. He was as nice and pleasant as he looked.
He swore us in, looked at our IDs, verified all the questions from I-485, almost didn't ask for anything but tax returns, employment letter, our lease agreement and pictures.
When it came to proof of relationship, he was very understanding that we couldn't get insurance or bank account together because I didn't have a Social yet.
He was happy with our lease agreement, a hotel room bill from when we went to Washington D.C. (his name, my credit card) and the 102 pictures that I had printed out.
He asked very casually where we met each other and my hubby said, in Germany, when I was stationed with the Airforce in her home town.
And I added, that we met in an Irish Pub.
The officer joked that Josh should have gone to a German pub, so he could learn German! And asked him if he spoke German, and we said yes, a little.
He was having fun looking at the pics. When he saw the picture of my hubby's friend's baby at our Welcome Party in PA last year, he asked who it was and we told him and said that he looked like the baby from the Quiznos commercial. He laughed out loud at that.
He enjoyed the pictures from when my parents-in-law were here three weeks ago.
Then he said: Well I don't have to spend more time on this, I have one more case to do before lunch...
He explained that he had to do that security check one more time and that was the end of the interview.
Lasted about 20 minutes.
He didn't even want to see paystubs or our marriage certificate. It was a very pleasant experience, I really didn't have to be that worried!
I'm going to let you guys know when I hear something.
Thanks so much to this forum, a_usc, Ari4u, cherr1980, rex1960, payala, justnew, running_swede, sarrebal, jenimmi, JohnnyCash, indone, someitguy and everyone else who helped me, was thinking of me and prayed for me!
This forum rocks!
I have a job interview coming up in 45 min, so I better get ready.
Have a great day everybody!!
