Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say that this forum was very helpful to me and my husband through our application experience. I do not have the exact dates as most of you all do, but I'd like to share our interview experience with you all.
My husband is Canadian & I am a US Citizen. Our interview was in Memphis, TN on 12/18/2007.
We arrived at 9:20 a.m. for our 10:00 a.m. appointment.
At 11:20 a.m. - they called us in. Our interviewer was an African American lady, and she started by saying "I am behind, so I'd like to hurry through this as fast as possible".
We entered and took the oath and then sat down. She asked if we had any copies of supporting documents of our relationship. We said yes, and she said she wanted all of them. We gave her copies of:
bank statement, lease, car insurance statement, and flight receipts from some trips we'd taken in the past.
She very hastily flipped through them, punched holes in them and put them in our file.
We offered many pictures to her, but she said she didn't need to see them.
Next, she asked my husband for his name, address, phone number, and type of visa he first entered the United States with. She then asked him what his wife's (me!) first name was. After that, she went through the list of 'terrorist' and 'drug' questions - in which he answered no to all!
Finally - she looked to me and asked if I was born in the United States. I said 'yes', and that was the end of the questions. She only asked me one question!!!
She typed all of our information in and printed us a letter stating that my husband had been approved. Since then, we've received the official I-485 & I-130 approval documents and are now waiting on the GC to arrive.
We're so happy!!!
Good luck to you all!!! This is a really great forum!
