Just a Brief low down of my interview.

Arrived at 8.15am

In the interview by 8.20am

Out by 8.40am

It was a ver straight forward interview, asked us how we met, I explained we met at a summer camp here in California. He looked through our papers making things on pages as he went. I showed him pictures of us traveling in New Zealand and Europe. He asked to see our birth certificates, asked me the usual terrorist questions. Then told us he had approved our case. He didn't ask to see our marriage certificate or wedding pics.

Really great experience I hope everyone else has the same luck.

Question about tracking number

I got the tracking number for the greencard delivery from USCIS and it is three letters. Is this right? I was expecting a long row of actual numbers as the tracking number

Approved on the spot.

Very laid back interview. IO asked for the birth certificates (originals), then questions about how we met, if we had any previous marriages, show pictures (went through all of them and the IO asked questions about them.) Then we submitted all new evidence (Tax returns, bank statements, etc.) Reviewed all questions on the original submitted forms. After that, IO talked about the process for ROC and left to make copies of passports and ID´s. Came back congratulated us and kept the I-94.

That was it.

Good luck to the rest of you with interviews coming up. I guess we´ll be back as a group in 2 years.
