Hi Guys
My wife and I had our interview at the Atlanta USCIS. Our dates are in my signature. The 485 was transferred from TSC to Atlanta DSC on August 9.
Our case was a bit different than others because we did not have our FPs done. Last week Atlanta case officer Z.A called my immigration attorney and asked us to come down for an interview on October 7 (today).
The first thing I noticed was that even with appointments, you have to wait in line outside the Atlanta CIS office to get in. But thankfully, we reached there well ahead of our interview time and got in with time to spare. We waited in the area outside Room 287. The officer then called us into his office.
Our attorney was with us and he knew the officer and joked around with him, so the mood was relaxed. The officer focused on my wife's case and asked us for bonafides of our marriage. We gave some wedding photos, drivers licenses showing same addres, wedding invitations, marriage certificate, joint bank statements, utility bills, credit card statements, rental lease agreement, joint tax returns. He remarked that in our case, perhaps some of the information from my file went to my wife's and vice versa. He also said that some of the clerical stuff was not done. That seems to be what triggered the interview call.
From me, he just wanted my college degree certificate and a recent letter of employment (I work for the same company).
After that, he gave us our FP notices. The whole interview did not take more than 20-25 minutes. We then drove up to the Buford Highway ASC and got the FP done within a couple of hours.
We'll now just have to wait for the FPs to clear and hope that it leads to approval soon.
I posted this on the Atlanta center thread over at the VSC area as well.
