Interview Experience
Just wanted to update you guys with the interview experience in Milwaukee INS on 8th Oct.
My wife's interview date : 8 th october ( asked for I693 med)
My interview date : 22nd Oct (Attorney recieved my notice)(asked for birth cert , i 94, and passport)
Arrived at INS 9:45 AM (interview scheduled at 10 :00AM). My wife was called inside at 10:15 AM. i accmpanied my wife. Officer was very nice . He asked us to take a oath ( to tell truth) and we did. He was surprised that my wife's interview was scheduled before mine( primary applicant). He made my wife sign a paper to carry out the interview without the attorney.He asked my wife few simple questions like , where did you we married ? are we still at the same address mentioned in the application ? He verified our marriage cert, wifes birth certificate and her i 693 med. He asked me wheter i am still working for the same company. since i changed the company i give him a copy of the request letter from my present company.He went through all the columns in the 485 application and wanted my wife to answer "yes" or "no" for the columns with criminal back ground verification (like have u been arrested, drug traffecing etc...) He told me that he can interview me on the same day provided his slot is open. He asked us to check back around 1 :00 PM as he needs to locate my file. We came around 1:00 PM and luckily some person dint turn up and i was called in. Before he started the interview he told me that even if case is approved he cannot do the stamping as he needs to request some kind of visa number (?). made us do the oath. asked me about my new company. he wanted the orginal request letter (to BCIS stating that i am doing same kind of job as was mentioned in my Labour) from the present company and gave him. Since the letter was from Tampa (our main office) , he asked wheter there is any branch in wisconsin. i answered yes in milwaukee. he wanted some contact number in Milwaukee which i dint have and it was ok with him as i told him that all kind info about the company can be found at companys website. He asked me whether my prev and present company do the same kind of business as my present company says that they provide all kinds(health,admin,IT....) of professional staffing. my prev company was only into IT. I told him that my present company is bigger and provide staffing in all area's and i am in IT division and my prev company was only into IT. He made me answer "yes " or "no" for the criminal back ground verification.
At the end of the interview i asked him how long is going take for them to take the decision. He said that it might be from 2 days to couple of months as he has to further review the case.
That was my experience at Local ,INS. Important thing was officer was very nice and polite. I hope he doesnt find any flaw in my case and approves it ASAP.
I will update you guys with my case if ther is any. Good Luck To you all .
