Hi everyone
I had my interview today set for 7am. We got there at 6:30, So we waited till 7 for the doors to open.( I paid close attention to the time) the wait was 40 minutes total downstairs, (7:40) then got called to go upstairs. About 20 minutes after (8 am) an AO called my name, she looked young and pleasant, we both walked to her office. Before she swore us in , she asked us if we had anything new to give her, we gave her everything. We brought all the docs they asked for, which was what we brought to the first interview. I asked her if our address change was on file, she said no, and then we both began to give her the new address. She then looked at the pictures and asked us about them, which she looked at each album very carefully. About 20 minutes after, she began to explain the process of the Second Interview to us. She started a tape recorder then we were sworn in, She escorted me to the waiting area at 8:20. Within 15 minutes she escorted my husband out and called me in. She began the recorder and the questions began at 8:36 am. Which of course we were asked the same questions.

She then stopped the recording and said I will now go get your husband. This was about 8:50,(I checked). They came in and then she said we will receive a decision in the mail and went through all the formal stuff like we can appeal the decision in 30 days etc... I then asked her if my background check was cleared, she said yes, I asked her did we answer everything the same, she said yes. She then said wait, since your under oath I will ask you these other questions. She asked me all the yes and no questions on the I-485. She then said ok I have all I need to approve you today, Congratulations. My husband thanked her like a million times while I just sat there. She asked us if we wanted to wait to have the passport stamped today and I said yes without a second thought, she laughed. I then asked her if it will be a 10 yr GC and she said yes, I was elated. She told us where to wait , my husband hugged or more like smothered me and she started laughing. She escorted us down the hall and we shook her hand and thanked her. We waited donstairs for 30 minutes and then I got called for my passport with the stamp in it. We left there at 9:25am.I never expected it to go that smooth. I will like to thank all of you guys for your help and continuous support. I love this forum and don’t know what I will do without it. Thank you so much.
