When our lawyer saw our case, he told us that our application would raise a red flag based on a different age issue (She is 13 years older). However, she looks the same age as me. Our lawyer told us we would be lucky if we were interviewd by an open-mind young officer (we did). He also told us to prepare for strong evidents (affidavits from friends and relatives, pictures, joint documents...). I was so nervous a month before the interview, but then I was confident with what we had together and our marriage is real. On the interview day, I just thought I went for a job interview, I was so relax, and I thought I would get it. The officer did not ask about our age. She just asked to check our information in two forms was correct. Then, she asked for evidents:
1. We gave her our car insurance card.
2. All affidavits from our friends and relatives. She asked did we pay for the rent. We said we live with our uncle, so we just gave him some cash each month. We told her to read the affidavit from our uncle, and told her to see the money on the bank statements every month.
3. She started looking each bank statements (so you need to spend your money in your joint account because the officer read them in details and asked us questions about what we spent)
4. We did not have health insurance together because my wife company not allow her to put me in until this April. So I told the officer that and she understand.
5. We did not have life insurance
6. I had my roth IRA and I put my wife as a beneficiary.
7. We gave her our pictures, she took them without looked at them.
Then, she told us our application was good. Before I left, I asked her about her day so far. I just wanted to make a good impression (it is really important I think)
I thought we were so lucky because our interview was smooth and quick. The officer didnt ask about our private information or our family. Everything was just in basic. So I really hope that everyone here will have a smooth interview like I had. Good luck to all!
