Thank you all!

To some of you who are going to be interviewed at Louisville office, here are my personal tips:

-The office is located at the corner of W. Broadway and Sixth St. The house sign says "courthouse" but the house number is as stated on NOA.

-My appointment was 8 a.m., and when we arrived there around 7:45 a.m., most parking meters on Sixth St were still open. My hubby says the interstate I-64 around Louisville can get badly jammed around 8. We left a motel in Hurstborne area around 7:15, and we were glad that we didn't get caught by traffic jam.

-Yes, interviewing a husband and a wife separately seemed to be a standard procedure in the office based on two couples' experiences including mine. Our conditions were both AOS from F1 with no unlawful/illegal/undesirable history in US.

Hope this helps. Good luck to all!
