Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

Our interview was at the Philadelphia, PA office @ 8:30AM. We had stayed overnight at a hotel within walking distance the night before to ensure that we wouldn't hit traffic. We got up at 6AM this morning (neither of us are morning people so this was difficult lol) and started getting ready. We got to the office by 8AM and went through security (they move very fast but are generally nice). The office is on the third floor and once you go inside the waiting room you walk all the way across to get to the front desk. We handed our interview letter to the front desk, she took it, stamped it, and kept it. There were only a few other people there and most of them seemed to be for family petitions rather than marriage petitions. While we waited we did see one other couple who were called in before us. They were separated since I noticed the IO brought out the wife and called in the husband. While the wife was waiting behind us I asked her how it wwent. She said at first they were brought in t... read complete review

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

the interview was scheduled 22nd of October 2009 @ 9:20 am. so we have to jump off 21/2 hrs before the interview to give an allowance for any traffic issues. but the whole highway going to philly was closed due to fender bender. good that my hubby knew all the routes around nj/pa coz it's his routes in some of his jobs. so we used back roads and was able to be there 25minutes late than the schedule.get inspected and went up the 3rd floor, inform the window and gave the appt. notice and sit and wait for the call.more or less half an hour.
NOW, we're on and told us to raise our right hands and swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God.
the IO was nice maybe she noticed that I'm a li'l nervous so she tried to make some jokes. BTW, i labeled all the necessary docs the night before and laid it on the table, so if asked to i just have to pull it out and hand it to her.
of course the first question, how did you met???
thanks for the internet... read complete review

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

Hello my September filers!

So I finally have my interview today! In my excitement I woke up 4am and started getting ready. My husband, mother in law and I started our journey on the way to the office around 6:30am. My appointment will be at 8am and just trying to get out the house early to avoid the morning rush. We arrived in the office at around 7:25am. Went through the security and everything. No digital camera allowed. Immediately ride the elevator going through the 3rd floor where the office is. There was already 2 couples( I believe so) ahead of us. Just gave my appointment letter and told me to sit down. It was 5 minutes to 8am when a woman called my name. My husband stood up and walked with me but the lady told him she wants to speak with me first. So I went inside the room brought with me my papers and bag. I sat down and told me to stand up first and made me swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.. Crazy me So after that she smilin... read complete review

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

our interview was scheduled at 7:30am. there were probably 4 or 5 other couples, but they called in people pretty quickly, so i assume that they have quite a few IOs at philadelphia office.

i was VERY nervous and had spent the past week preparing photos, documents and reading everything over. i brought everything i could possibly imagine although most of the supporting evidence were already submitted when i sent my application.

our IO was very nice and she wasn't intimidating in any way. she noticed that my husband was born in san francisco and was excited to see someone from the west (she was from los angeles). they also talked about football a little bit.

first, she asked as how long ago and how we met, so we told her that we met back in september 2004 and started dating november 2004. and we told her that we've been living together for almost 3 years. after she heard that, she didn't seem to care to ask too many questions or to took at to... read complete review

Review Topic: Adjustment of Status

Hubby and son's interviews were today in Philly. We were there for 9am, the interviews were for 9:40am and 10:10am - They didn't take us until 10:03am but there were lots of late arrivals and lots of annoyed officers and lawyers waiting on clients. We were called back by a young officer named Mr. De Jesus. He asked us to tell us about ourselves, we asked him what he wanted to know - he asked how we met, asked about our son's biological mother. He asked about our jobs, and had a chat with our son about his black eye that he got in school (from a girl!) the officer told him a story about how he was beaten up by a girl when he was little and it made our son feel better about his black eye which I thought was really sweet! He asked to see all of our originals for birth certificates, marriage license, divorce decree, and custody papers. He asked about my hubby's name change (his mum remarried when he was 5) and he explained that and that was it - he didn't ask to see our joint property info... read complete review
