hello all,
as you all know by now that i was approved yday. I do not think its my doing or any man's but God's doing. i will advise that you be comfortable and do not how any signs of nervousness as that usually raises flags to the IO. please see below for my experience:
My interview was scheduled for 11:30am but arrived at 10:55am, we proceeded to signing in and sat down around 11am. there were a lot of ppl so we thought we would probably wont be called in till about 2pm based on the number of ppl before us, but to our surprise, we were called in less than 5mins after been seated. Our IO messed up d pronunciation of my name and she apologized as we walked up to her.she said her 11am appointment has not showed up so she decided to call us in. She was really cool and friendly, she walked us into her office where we took our oath b4 being asked to take a seat. She proceeded confirm all the information on the I130 and I485 ( name, address, socials, DOB etc), then she asked the Yes and NO questions. she also looked at the our docs that were sent in, she asked for our IDs and took my I94. i was surprised she did not ask for my EAD card (should i be worried). She then proceeded to ask if we had pix and i showed her the few we brought, about 25-30 (mostly wedding pix and a few(4-5) that we took randomly. she commented on my good dress sense
. The only question she asked that was not on the forms was to tell her how we met, and we asked who would she like to have answer that and she said it does not make a diff. we both gave her the story of how we met and then she said the MAGICAL word " I will APPROVE this application". she did not ask for anything else or any of those crazy questions ppl make you believe they would ask. then she told us about the conditional GC and how we would be back in 2yrs for this same kinda interview. i tried to have her stamp my passport as we plan on going to Canada at the end of the month, but she said the did away with the stamps. she said i should receive my GC in 6weeks ( but i know i will get it sooner). she walked us to the door and once again congratulated us.
I have not received my Card Production email but i know all is well.
i believe the application was approved b4 we got their based on the depth of our documents and also the fact that my wife n i were very comfortable and was laughing and cracking jokes with her about the pronunciation of my name and my son's name. I wish every1 who is yet to interview Good luck and i thank God that i was in and out under 10 minutes just like @fion... we walked out of the building at 11:09am when my interview was actually scheduled for 11:30. please let me know if you have any questions and i hope this helps every1 who is preparing for their interview.
