Detailed Interview Experience (Long Post)
Here’s My Interview Experience.
We arrived at the Atlanta - DO @ 1:00pm, We went thru security and went to the 3rd floor. We gave the interview letter to the window and sat down to wait. Our appointment is @ 1:30pm but our names was called @ 2:00pm. The IO swore us in then told us to sit down and take out my passport and my wife’s driver’s license.
Questions the IO asked my wife (USC):
So you are the petitioner?
What is your name?
What is your birthday?
Is this your signature?
Is this the right social security number?
Questions the IO asked me:
She asked me all the questions on the I-485 form upto all the no question.
That is:
What is your name?
When were you born?
Name of your mother?
Name of your father?
Are you working right now?
Up to….
Did you ……?
Is this your signature?
Is this your phone number?
Questions the IO asked us together:
How did you guys meet?
How long did you know each other before you got married?
You got married where?
When?
What kind of wedding?
Did any of my family attended the wedding?
Did any of my wife’s family attended the wedding?
Documents the IO asked us:
Original birth certificates
Original marriage certificate
And any documents that would prove our life together
We showed joint bank account statement, credit cards and debit cards in both our names, car insurance, renter’s insurance and proof that I was my wife’s 100% beneficiary on my wife’s retirement benefits.
She also look at all the photos brought to the interview. (46 pictures all together)
The IO photocopied our ID’s and my passport and said to my wife that the I-130 is approved and told me that the I-485 is also approved. She told me that it means I am eligible to get the conditional green card and told me about the form I-751. IO also told me to expect the card between 2 to 3 weeks and gave me back my passport and my EAD.
All in all it was a very pleasant experience. Now I just need to wait for the card in the mail.
Sorry if this post is to long. Goodluck to anyone else in line for their interview.
