hi there

Im new to the website so Ive not been included from the start on your list, I filed on July 27th and had a successful interview today!!

heres a rundown of the interview - maybe it will help some people get prepared:

I just got back from the interview and it was all very easy and overall a pleasurable and most importnatly successful experience.

My name got called by an immigration officer at about 12.40pm (10 mins late!) and my wife and I followed the officer back to her office.

She was a really nice friendly lady in her late 20's that introduced herself as Mrs Marsden.

After she swore us in we sat down and she asked to see our ID's and passports and we duely obliged.

She proceeded to check the details on those documents and then turned to me and started asking me a series of questions:

The last time I entered the US, Name, Address, DOB, Place of Birth and my parents names. She then asked my wife the same questions.

She turned back to me and then asked me:

Have I ever been arrested?

Have I ever been involved in a crime Ive not been caught for?

Was I part of a terrorist organization?

Have I ever had any immigration issues in the US

Obviously my answers to all these questions were "No" and she moved right along to ask to see the original copies of our birth certs.

She asked where and how we met and after we responded she asked about my wifes job. Her job has changed since our original filing time in late July and I offered her an updated i-864 which she was gald to take and just confirmed the details on it with my wife.

She then asked to see supporting evidence and we gave her copies of:

Joint bank accounts

Joint House and Car Insurance

Document showing I was the beneficiary to my wifes retirement fund

Deed to the house with both our names on it

And she briefly looked through a bunch of wedding photos

The whole time she was very very nice and friendly, and after finishing with the photos she disappeared to make a couple of quick photocopies of a few documents.

When she came back she said she had everything she needed and just needed to check the status of my FBI check on her computer as the last document she had printed out showed it wasnt cleared yet.

I was fearing that I would be leaving the interview cleared pending the FBI check but she seemed almost as delighted as my wife and I when she said the computer showed that the FBI check was now cleared!!

She told us she was happy to be approving our case today, asked for me to turn in my EAD and my Advance Parole Travel Docs and then asked if we had any questions.

I asked how long it would be until I got my conditional greencard and she told me 2 weeks maximum! and that production would start about an hour after she approved it on her computer.

We left the office very pleased and delighted with the professional and friendly service we had got.

I filed on July 27 and got approved Jan 8 - 165 days in total

Thanks to everyone at VJ and I hope your journey will be as stress free as ours.

Thanks CB,

These are questions I was asked at the interview:

Had I been involved in any terrorist organizations.

Had I ever been deported from the US.

My name, DOB, address.

How we were supporting ourselves financially.

Why I decided to marry my husband.

They asked, who my co-sponsor is, he is a freind of my husbands. They asked him how long he had known him.

They asked my husband:

Where we met.

About his disability (that's why we had a co-sponsor)

I was asked what type of job I was going for as I am looking for work.

She questioned one vaccination on my medical, which was the Varciella (SP) the chicken pox one, but she cleared that with her supervisor.

She photo copied photos from a photo album I'd taken with us, post marked envelopes with proof of address, and some birthday, christmas, and cards from when our son was born. She also took my I-94. My passport had expired so it wasn't stamped.
