Well here's my interview experience in Columbus, OH DO:
We got there around 9:45 am, interview letter said 10:15 am. We waited n waited.... didn't get called in until 11:30. I got called first, I noticed the people before me also got interviewed seperately, being the foreigner got interviewed first. She swore me, she's not rude but not too nice either. Things she asked:
- Can I see your passport and a valid picture ID? I gave her my passport which she took my I-94 n put it with the other documents. Then I gave her my Texas driver liscence, which she made a copy of.
- What's your name?
- What's your address?
- Birthdate?
- Husband name?
- His birthdate?
- His address?
- Did you live together before getting married?
- Did you have a big wedding? I said no
- Where did you get married?
- When did you get engaged? I said Dec 25, she said, oh Christmas
- How did you get a Texas driver liscence? I said my ex worked there a for a while.
- You cant' get an Ohio driver liscence? I said no, they required something more than a tourist visa, which was the one I had.
- Then she asked me stuff in the I130 or 485, about criminal n stuff
- How did you meet your husband? I said online
- Oh so then you visited him? I said no, I was already in Columbus, he lived 2 hours away, then he visited me after chatting for 3 weeks.
- Were u marrried before? I said yes
- Any children from that marriage? I said yes, 1 daughter.
- Whats her name?
- So are you going to petition for her after you're done with this? I said no, cuz she's already a US citizen. She said "Oh I didn't know that was your ex-husband a greencard holder?" I said no, he's also a US citizen. She said oh.
- How come you got divorced in March '06 n remarried a couple months later?
I had to explain my situation, his infidelity, that we were seperated since March 2004.
- Who's Shirley? My mother in-law
- Where do your in-laws live?
- Does he have any brother or sister?
- Do you practice a strict Moslem? I was literally grinning, then said not really.
- This month is fasting month, are you fasting? I said no.
----I don't know why those questions were even asked----
- Is there any other documents you wanna give me? I said yes, I gave her 3 joint credit cards, joint car insurance, joint car titles, current joint cell phone bills that show numerous call to each other, Dec '06 joint cell phone bill that when I was backhome, we messaged each other millions of times, my daughter birth certificate, my daughter's copy of her US passport, n I forgot joint bank account statement, so I said, hold on I have 1 more thing. She said "oh boy!" But I gave it to her anyway.
Then she escorted me out n called my husband. He said she was nicer to him and actually carried conversations. She told him, "Your wife gave me bunch of documents, I have all I need right here." Things she asked him:
- His name?
- Address?
- My name?
- My address?
- How many people attended the wedding?
- Did you know that she was married before?
- Does she have any children?
- What's her name?
- When did you propose? He said last Christmas, when she landed from Indonesia. She said, oh that was a nice surprise.
- Is your wife a strict Moslem? He said "No, Indonesians' Moslem are not very strict at all, n I'm a Moslem too."
Then she escorted him out. Then she told us that we will get a written decision mailed to us. She did take my I-94, but she didn't stamp anything in my passport, n I still haven't got my EAD. Ok can anybody tell me what that mean?? Thx.
