Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum. I thought that sharing my experience would help fellow August 2013 filers. My wife is a GC holder and I am a F-1 student here. We got married on July, 2013 and started our application process in August, 2013 since F2A was current. Here is my timeline so far:

July 13, 2013: Married

August 13, 2013: I-130 Filed, priority date 08/13/2013

Sept. 9, 2013: I-485 Filed: (We were not prepared to file I-130 and I-485 concurrently since preparing I-485 took longer than expected, i.e. getting immunization record from home took few weeks. However, I attached the copy of I-130 NOA and stated in a cover letter that the PD is current)

-----I did not file for work permit or AP since I do not need them at this moment-------

Oct. 10, 2013: Biometrics done.

Oct. 17, 2013: Status changed to "testing and interview"

Nov. 1, 2013: Interview date received (by email and text message)

Nov. 4, 2013: Hard copy of interview notice received for December 5, 2013

Dec. 5, 2013: AOS Interview

ok so heres what i remember about yesterday and our interview

we got there right on time checked in with our appointment letter ,

then went in a different area of the building to our right, when received a ticket with a letter and number and waited for it to be called.

A nice american lady called our Letter and number D20 to counter number 6

she asked for my appointment letter and ticket and my passport then said they will call your name from that door when they are ready to interview you , she took the letter and we sat down, about 20 mins later we got called ..he was a bigger large white guy and looked scarey at first (but i think there trained to look mean ) he said this way thanks so we followed him down the corridor

he then went into his office and said don't said down we are going to swear you, To tell the truth and nothing but the truth. We said I DO

he then said sit down and relax. He first asked us

*Where did you guys meet? - our answer Xbox live

Then he chit chatted about how he used to play nhl on Xbox live and it was funny because that's is one of my husband favorite games.

* Confirmed my full name

* confirmed my address

*Confirmed my mum and dads names.

*went through the questions about prostitution , drugs , political , KKK. - answered all NO

* asked us why we waited so long to file - we explained why

* he told us about how we were just under the 2 years and we would receive a 2 year conditional green card.

*explained to remove conditions 3 months before the 2 year mark - we had to sign a paper to say he let us know.

* He said he believes in our marriage that we have been married after 2 years and are there. so we are approved

* while the interview was going on he told us stories about how hes been to Australia and how there are many women there lol he used to be in the military

These are all the questions he asked he was a very laid back nice man that made jokes through the hole interview very nice man

we were very luck to have such a nice IO In Detroit

he then said congrats and sent us out , we said thank you!

after we left the building our case status updated to card in production .

I think he was very easy on us because we had been married for almost 2 years already and had went through the K1 visa process so he believed that our relationship was Genuine

he said well have the Green card in 7-10 days
