Velvet , today I went to my interview and also didn't have any state ID beside EAD card. I show it to the officer -not a problem , but the inspector ask me for another "photo identification with picture" so I showed my passport.
I'm not that good in explanations so I may be short-taller
))
12:30pm was my appointment, we entered the building 12:15pm. We went with our lawyer, she left the IL and I think they called the names by who first come. The actual interview was about 30 min. It started with oath after that interviewer goes with a question from the papers like "whats my name; address; phone; SSN" , she continue with yes/no Q with me. After that she was following with specific questions about our relationship - How we met? Where was it? How long do we date? When we move to live together? When we decide to married? If my parents approved the marriage? If they(parents) communicate with my husband?
About my J1 to F1 status: The name of the school, When I stopped going to the school (before 6 months, which i thing its going to be a problem).... She ask about the wedding and we said it was just me and him, no witnesses, and we said that we plan to held one when we decide. All the time we complete our sentences, probably that's helped. So my husband made some mistake like which month we met (but he is going to have problems for that later
How he could!!!) Probably I missed some of the questions , but you guys got the picture.
So then she ask for some more evidence , then she check and keep some of the pictures; Bank statement -showing both names; the new apartment lease. Here comes some more questions about the picture: Do we have a dog? Who kids is that? About the bank statement when did he add me (He got that wrong, too).
Then with very plain and strait eyes interviewer told me that were everything what she needs, and in 2 weeks they may contact me for more evidence or in a month I may receive the actual card.
I asked her If she can stamp my passport because my husband in 3 weeks is going out of the country, so i want to go with him
. Of course she refused , but she told me when I have an approval notice I can have InfoPass and they will stamp it for me. But she advice me do NOT leave US without GC or stamp. Interviewer kept my I-94, but not the EAD.
So that was it!
PP. Two hours later I receive e-mail/sms Approval notice on my I-485 and that the card is ordered.
Thats the actual text if interested!!!
