Hi all VJers,

I had my AOS interview yesterday and it went very well.

I would sincerely like to thank you for all your help in the last few months. :D

I would like to share my experience for the benefit of others.

Just to give you guys a little background, I am the beneficiary and my wife is the applicant.

I am in USA on F1 visa for the last 5 years and had applied for AOS last year after marriage (my wife is a USC)

The lady who conducted the interview was very polite and warm. (F)

She started off asking me my date of birth, our wedding date and on what Visa I had entered USA.

When I told her I am on F1 Visa and came here for my master's she asked me:

Which school did u go to?

How was your learning experience?

Why did you select this course?

All the above questions were asked very casually and I answered correctly.

Then she asked if we had any joint documents and pictures.

We showed her: joint bank account, joint auto insurance, joint appartment lease.

Then we showed her pictures from our reception and honeymoon.

She complimented us saying that we make a very beautiful couple.

She retained copies of our joint accounts and few pictures.

I asked her if she needed anything else as I had more proof and documents.

She said she was satisfied and approved my green card.

Overall the interview was not more than 10 mins. It did'nt even feel like an interview. :P

I have a message for you all: Please do not get tensed when you go for an interview.

Do your best, get all documents possible and be well prepared but there is no reason to panic.

If your application is genuine they should approve it. :)

Good luck to you all! Cheers!
