Interview to remove conditions

[sara535 15]

I guess we are one of those lucky couples that get interviewed every step of the way we had an interview for AOS and now this one.

For starters we had to reschedule and it was nervewracking. Apparently the only way to reschedule is in writing to the local office that has your file. Our interview notice came while we were on vacation and by the time I got back and looked at the mail the interview date was for 2 days later. My husband had not returned with me but instead gone to atlanta to visit some friends so there was no way he could get back in time for that date. So I wrote one letter requesting a reschedule and then about 10 days later I wrote another. I included all relevant dates such as the day we left and returned from vacation plus the notice date and postmark, etc to explain why we couldnt make it. About 10 days after that second letter we received a new interview notice so it ended up working just fine.

The actual interview was this afternoon and it ended up no big deal at all. I had brought some updated paperwork but all he really asked for was the birth certificate of our daughter and he had us revise the original I-751 form we submitted last fall to include the baby who had not been born at the time. I did see right on the top of our file the first letter I had sent to reschedule the interview I am sure it helped our case that we have a baby together and we have been married for almost 4 years now, but honestly I got the feeling we were just one of the 'random' cases because the interviewer was very relaxed and informal after the swearing in part. It felt a little like we were just 'going through the motions'.

For others who have been selected for an interview, I initially did send in a good deal of paperwork including documentation of being pregnant, although we do not share a bank account. we had our lease, insurance paperwork, pics of family events and holidays, personal and business mail addressed to one or both of us at our address.

This is helpful to me as we are apparently waiting for an interview. Were you separated from your husband during the interview. How long did it last and what questions did you get asked?

Thanks,

Kat

we were not separated and basically they just went over the questions on the application; name, DOB, address. he asked when and how we met, what day we got married, asked for any updated evidence (we originally filed last year), and honestly that was about it. Including waiting time we were in and out of there in less than an hour.

Hi Sara535,

Thanks for sharing about your I-751 Interview experience, as I've wondered exactly what happens during those interviews, especially that they are rare and mostly random for such cases. It doesn't seem that hard after all, as you said that it was like "going through the motions", and the questions were like the AOS interview before. Glad everything went well for you during your interview and that you got approved that day. Hope you get your 10yr green card soon. After all, for going through the hassle of an interview your case deserves to be approved quickly.
