I have visited forums here on several occasions and got useful info. Thanks to all of you guys. I think I owe something to this forums so I am keying my experience. I am hoping it will help some of those who are eagerly waiting their GC Local INS office interview.
My interview was scheduled at 11AM. I was at the local office, 3010 N stemmons frwy around 10:15. There is no line to enter. I was directed to put my interview notice in a door tray and be seated. Around 11:05, one of the officers called my name. His initial comment was that I did not have an attorney with me. (my case was st. forward, with the same company, more or less same salary etc, never out of status, etc). He led me through few doors, got my signature and index finger print on a form, took me to his office. He took my oath and then asked me to wait while he went thro my app. He asked my photo ID. I gave my DL and indicated that I recently moved.
Guys if you change your address, be in constant touch with your attorney who filed and with your company. My interview notice reached both my attorney and my company (not me). My company never informed me or not until the last week and I got an email from attorney. My company personnel response was that they were swamped with work (although I never asked why they did not send me the notice letter, they just mentioned it anyway when I asked them for emp verification letter).
Anyways back to the story, the officer changed my address in my application, took my last 3 yr tax returns, w2s and verified my employment letter. We were interrupted couple of times in the process by few other fellow employees of his. He asked me few security questions (I have a clean background). After that he stamped my passport, explained briefly the power of the stamp and congratulated me.
I got out around 11:30, so the whole process about 25 min. Also I am a single guy, it may be one of the reasons, the processing was fast.
Anyways, good luck to all the guys. These forums are great for anyone to get info.
