Okay we just got back and here is the scoop:

The place looks like a normal office building and does not really identify itself to be the USCIS, so you should leave early to be sure you are there on time. Once you walk in the building, it is on the right side and there is a sign that says USCIS so it was fairly easy to spot. Don't take anything metal because they make you walk through metal detectors and they will hunt through your purse. if you do not have your appointment letter and Legal identification, then you won't even make it through the metal detector.

Bring a cushy jacket to sit on because they have these blue metal seats that hurt your %@#! and you may end up sitting there for awhile. We waited about 25 minutes before they called our name. The security guard does look not like he can catch you if you run, but he does have a gun lol.

Once we got in there, they made us hold up our right hand to swear in oath to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help us God. After we did that, we were seated in a general office with an immigration officer and he ask us the following questions:

1. Do you know the names of Loke's parents? (I did)

2. Do you understand that even if you get divorced, you will still have to take care of him? (I did)

3. Do you know his/his birthday? (We did)

4. Have either of you ever been married before? (we answered)

5. Have you ever been to the Sates before and when? (Asked to Loke)

6. How many brothers and sisters does Loke have? (I know he has 6 siblings and I had to sit there fore awhile and think of all the names of them and I still missed one and felt pretty stupid) LEARNING LESSON 101 - Know your husbands siblings names for god sake....

7. Do you have evidence of extablished relation ship? (We did and he made copies)

He also mentioned that he liked the fact that we brought in two boxes worth of stuff with us because it meant that we were prepared. We had copies of all our petitions and everything. He asked us if we had photos and we said yes, but he did not want to see them.

At the end, he esentially said that he was waiting for the files from USCIS to match up their paperwork with his, then he would generate the card and it should come in the mail in a couple of weeks. (I think that means we are approved)

So all in all... it was not that bad, but I did beat myself up for not knowing as many details about my husband as he knew about me. I think that because I am the US Citizen, I felt as if they would not ask me as many questions as him, but they asked me more than him.

SO LESSON OF THE DAY - USCIS HATES US CITIZENS TOO

Thanks for everything you guys. You have been the best support group for us *hugs*

Doesn't sound too bad, I'll be in your shoes 3 weeks from today. Were you at the office in Aurora? I'm assuming there is only one place but who knows?
