We had our interview yesterday. It was fun and it lasted for 20 minutes. The officer was nice and seemed to know all the facts in our documents. He verified some data to us, like how and when did we meet, etc, and we told him they were all correct.

He told us that he can see a real marriage on us and he just need to ask some standard questions - (Have you ever been arrested, etc). Here are some questions that were asked:

> How's marriage life? I told him that it is wonderful and my husband told him that we are very compatible in so many ways. He asked my husband to tell him more about it.

> Do I like living here? Of course, and I told him why. My husband talked about how he likes the WA state too.

> Do I have plans of continuing my career here? I told him Yes and gave him some explanations.

> My SS #.... I told him I can't memorize it and I have to look at my notebook. He just smiled and told me that it is ok to look at it because this is not a test...((haha..I have to laugh at that))

Then he asked us for supporting documents. We gave him a copy of our joint account, bills, etc., and photos. He looked at all our photos and then told us that he will recommend us for approval and asked us for any questions.

I asked him if I have to surrender my EAD and AP. He took my EAD and gave us the Approval letter. Then we shook his hand and thanked him for approving us, and told him that we are going to celebrate our approval by eating Filipino food. :)

It was a very pleasant experience for us.

Hi fellow Seattleites (and kababayans)! Good luck with your interview. It should go very smoothly, like ours did. Just relax and enjoy the interview. I'm sure that the interviewer will see that love is in the air! (L)

Remember to bring $6 for parking! :angry:
