Hi Everybody,
Let me begin this post with a famous quote from the Godfather: "When I thought I was out... they pulled me back in."
Basically, yesterday I had my marriage-based N-400 interview at the San Francisco DO. My appointment was scheduled at 10:40 a.m., and my name was called at around 11:00...
The interviewing officer was super cool middle-eastern dude (officer Nazeer). The whole interview lasted for about 15 minutes. He went over my application, asked me about 2 trips I took in 2004 (both trips lasted for about 2 and 3 weeks), do I still live with my husband, do I still go to school, have I ever been a member of communist, Nazi, terrorist organization, etc...
Now, when he asked me about my current address, I said we moved, but I haven't filed AR-11 yet. He said it's Ok and made corrections on my application.
Then he asked me to read and answer 10 retarded civic questions. I nailed em all, of course The sentence he asked me to right was : "You cook well"
He didn't ask me for any documents I brought with me, just my passport, state ID and green card.
After that he gave me my N-652 where it said that I passed my history and English test... Also it said that I have to follow instructions on N-14 he also gave me.
Damn it, the N-14 paper states that I have to submit a proof of bona fide marriage. Credit card statements, checking account, savings statements for the past 3 months, rental agreements, and tax transcripts for the past 3 years. When I saw the list, I said I have it all with me, but the officer replied: "Don't give me anything now. What you can do is to take this envelop and put the evidence in there and give it to the receptionist in the waiting area, and she'll give it straight back to me... But I also advice you to take a few days to gather more staff and mail it to us because more is better than less..."
When I asked when to expect their reply the officer said "around 30-45 days after we receive supporting evidence".
Interesting thing, I have already sent all this crap when I mailed my N-400 application 6 months ago. I wonder what happened — did they loose it? And why he didn't want to look at that staff at the interview?
Damn it, I thought I'll be done already, but apparently I have to wait more. Hopefully they will not ask me to appear for another interview.
Thus, now I am collecting all the evidence again — utility bills, airline tickets showing me and my husband had trips together, joint bank accounts, rental agreement, same location/same date GYM memberships, photos of us together,etc...
Although everything went smooth it kind of pisses me off...
Anybody else got N-14?
