HI Every one

here is my interview ExPerience with immg ,today 21 Dec in ATL .

we had the appointment at 2:30 pm , we where there on time , after checking us on the first door we had to go to big room where is some ppl setting there and waiting , it took us about 30 minuts becfor they call my name .

we set me and my wife with the officer who start asking us to Swear to tell the truth , then he asked us about where did we meet . and he asked about my Passport and my ID and my wife ID , then he turn to my wife and asked her the address we live in , Curent address then he askied us if we have any papers want to give him so we start give him the bills shown our name togather and we gave him a prove of Insurance , health , Medical , and account bank , copy of our Merrage Certificat and Birth certificat , and he asked about the Tax Returns .my wife pay stubs , and picturs made for us .

actualy he didt ask us to give him all that papers but we give him and he is taken :) some papers like bank accounts , bills , copy of credit card he didt take them . then he turn to me and asked me what is my phone number , and whats my wife kids age .. i said i dont know thiere exactly age but i said what i thought it might be . then he start fixing some stuff with the computer then he STAMPED MY PASSPORT and said if i have my Auth to work Card , i gave it to him then he just thru it behind him and said Congradulation .. we said thank you


what was funny in my interview , he askied me if i married to her and to any other woman in same time , but he used an english word i never heard about it even my wife did not know it , but i do not blame him becose even the officer was look like Indian and realy His english was not cool .

PS : it help so well if you have an attorny with you , eevn know he will do nothing with you in the interview but the officer look to your papers if u have attorny with very safe mode , becose he knows that attorny realy checked the papers well befor you come .


that was all and i will recive my GC after 10 days according to what the officer told me .

i have alittle small quastion do i need after stamped my passport any document or sign from any Dept to travel out of the contry
 
papers you'll need to travel accross

In your case, you will need a stamped passport, or and Advance Parol to travel abroad right now.
If i were you, i would wait for the GC. with this one you'll get an easy entry back to the US.
If you travel abroad with your stamped passport or AP you may be put aside at immigration office at the port of entry and you'll be made a set of questions and they might contact your wife to verify the info you gave them about you and your marriage.

Thanks for posting your experience. I found very interesting what you said about bringing a lawyer to the interview. I was discarding that idea since I saw no point about his/her role in there.

Congratulations!!

Actually if you get a fairly reputed lawyer, there is a good chance that the interviewing officer has already run into him during other cases that were presented in the past. Just that familiarity can be a world of comfort at times ... it should not affect the outcome in anyway but atleast the atmosphere will be more relaxed...

AP will not be issued if GC is approved.

If GC is approved but card has not arrived in mail and emergency travel is involved, one can get an INFOPASS appt to their DO and get the I-551 stamped.

If travel is not an emergecny, then its advisable to wait for the GC to arrive in mail before travelling.
 
hi all

thank you all and i realy suggest any one looking for the GC to have attorny with him ..


my attorny did not do much for me but the officer Interview me was talking to him and telling him about other cases how they went . and all the papers we had to give the officer he took them from the attorny without check them , like picturs for me and my wife , bills , joined accounts . the attorny had all the papers ready for the officer . ..
and i will wait for the GC to travel becose the officer said it will take just 10 days ..

as you said with attorny you feel more Relaxable .. and realy you can find cheap attorny? my attorny chargem me about 1200$ for whole case
 
To have an attorney is not a guaranty of a succesfull interview or to get more or less questions about your marriage. It is a personal choice if you would feel more comfortable or if your case is kind of complicated, but to demostrate that your marriage is bona fide is your responsability not his/her.
Good luck,
