Hey guys, we finally had our I-130 interview today and also submitted our RFE replies in Baltimore Field Office.

Our appointment was 11am. Though we got very close to Hopkins Plaza by 10:40am we made the mistake of driving away from the H. Plaza looking for a parking spot and we got too far to back up and it took us another 30mins to drive through traffic to get back to HOPKINS PLAZA. By the time we made it through security screening and got to wait in line to be processed at the USCIS office it was 11:20am.

We saw a lot of people already sitting and waiting for their turn to be interviewed as well. Funnily after we got processed and i sat that with my wife and 11month old baby, we heard our name called in a less than 5mins.

The officer was warm and cordial. Her questions were:

1. May i have all your passport documents please? I said SURE and gave them to her.

2. Do you have any more documents for me? I said yes, originals or copies, she said copies for now if there was a need to see the originals she would ask for them.

So i gave her, lease agreement, our joint account bank statements/transaction journal in the US, notarized letters from 5 friends in the US, birth certificates, letters explaining why my wife did not have to pay income tax. My wife is the USC and i am the non resident beneficiary of IR-1 petition.

3.She asked if we had any pictures to show her. So we showed her our wedding album and introduced the photos to her.

4. She asked if she could have some of the pictures. So we gave her a couple of pictures of our engagement, wedding and after the wedding.

5. Then she asked us some basic relationship questions like, date of birth, when did our wedding take place, how long our courtship was, what were the names of our father and mother inlaws, how did we meet, my residence address abroad, my wife's US address . In the end she returned our passports and asked if we had any questions for her. So i asked when should we expect to be approved? She said she would review our case file and we shall get a decision in the mail within a few weeks. She asked if we had any more questions and i asked her what her name was and she told us.

The whole session lasted for about 10mins and that was it. Thank you VJ for all the hints and tips. I'm postive we shall get NOA2 very very soon.

For other October 2012 filers that are probably still waiting for case update after NOA1, KEEP YOUR HOPE AND FAITH ALIVE!!!
