:whistle: Hi all!

Me and my hubby went to the interview this morning and I just want to share some experience.

First, no need to be stressed out, no need to be panic, no need to be worried. The interview is not as stressful and painful as you think! It actually went pretty fast, I would say, about 10 minutes. A nice lady interviewed us and the questions she asked are:

1. Name/Birthdate/Birth place

2. Job/School

3. Address/cell number

4. Father's name/mother's name

5. Ask when I am going to graduate

6. Have you committed crime...yada yada..all you need to say is yes or no

7. Ask for documents to prove that our marriage is real (we only showed our joint bank statement and pictures and she said..that's all)

When we first came in, she actually asked me if I want to change my family name into my hubby's family name on the green card. That was....unexpected :lol:

After all these questions, the lady took away my I-94 on the passport (I am here on F1). She didn't ask us anything about the finance (I-864 stuff) because she told us it's been approved already (I was nervous about it because we only have tax return for one year).

The documents she looked at are:

1. Birth certificate

2. Marriage certificate

3. Our joint bank statement

4. Pictures

5. Passport ( my visa, I-94)

I think I acted like an idiot because I was so nervous. So...for the people who are going to have the interview..get prepared :) , relax :D , and trust God with it :yes: ! It's going to be fine! We run into some problems and we made several mistakes but God is bigger than our mistakes.

After the interview, the lady told us to wait for 2 to 4 weeks for the final results. And the final result came 11 hours after the interview, saying that our green card has been approved. :)

I just want to thank you guys all for helping us with the entire process. Me and my hubby will be here more often to try to help out and we will be praying for all of you.

Acknowledge God in all your ways, He will make your paths straight! :D
