My husband and I went to our Initial Interview on 4/21/09 in Manchester NH.

The interview lasted maybe 20 mins - she took lease agreement, electricity bill, looked over at other

evidences and kept my husband I-94. She wasn't interested in pictures or anything for that matter.

She mostly conversed with my husband and asked very little of me other than my Nat Cert and the marriage

certificate and my husband's birth date. The older lady adjucator didn't give us an approval on the spot for the I-485 but did say that our

I-130 was approved. She said that we will hear of her decisions shortly - that she is waiting to have "some things to come through the

computer". She has not given us any RFE either. Wished us a good day and had the officer she was training escort us to the door.

My question is, I have seen on the website here that when people were called for a second interview or STOKES interview, it is

related to the I-130. When you are approved for the I-130, then there wouldnt be that much of a chance to be called in for a stokes

interview? I am a little nervous as she barely asked any questions, she didnt even asked for my birth certificate nor his.

I mean in my heart I know it went well but of course, I am playing games here in my own mind...

Ugh, I just wanna know!!!!

Normally, if you are getting a Stokes type interview, they will send you something stating that. (or to report to that section/office).

Stop worrying! You will go crazy.

Just wait to see what happens. :)

(If your 130 is approved, but the 485 is still being looked at - that doesn't normally fall under the "stokes" type of interview)

Oh - looking at your first post about your first interview - you said nothing about a second interview - you just mentioned they would mail you a decision - did something change?

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

That's what I thought...

I think we are fine though - just impatient.

I cannot fathom my life without my husband... We just want to be happy finally and get on with our lives...

They kept your husband's I-94. That is a good sign.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
