AOS interview while husband is deployed in Iraq

Hi All,

I just want to share my interview experience as i thought it would be useful for all military spouses whose husbands are deployed overseas.

my interview was on May 28th 2009 and it went well. The officer was very nice and kind to me. He greeted with a big smile on his face which made me feel a bit comfortable. He didn't ask too many questions though the first thing he asked was to see my husband's orders of deployment. Other than that,he asked how we met,when and where, if he's in Iraq now and where was he stationed before he was deployed,if i have met his family and then asked for his Birth Certificate and i also gave him a copy of his military ID. Lastly he asked to keep a picture of the day we got married and a picture of us traveling together. It went smooth and easy and before i left he stamped on my passport and this stamp is good for 1 year which means i'm allowed to travel out of the country. The interview took less than 20 minutes who i waited for them to call my name for 30 minutes.

p.s. i brought LOTS of all the documents they might ask to see but all they asked was 2 pictures (of us together) and a copy of my husband's birth certificate, tho, I would recommend you (who's going for an interview) to bring all the proof you have.
