My dad had his interview today. It was an...interesting experience. I waited for my dad outside. Maybe an act of God, but apparently he had a near fall at the interview center as they were checking him in, so they came out and asked if I can go in with him to help him get around. And thats where my presence came on handy (I had given my dad a whole big heavy file with all the evidence I could gather spanning over 40 years as an LPR, with  a history of several long, > 6 months trips taken. The lawyer told me its overkill, but now Im glad Im kind of OCD lol because that extra info I packed in there came in handy.) Also, we had a medical N 648, which the officer rejected as not being detailed enough (my dad has Parkinsons and is 76) but my being there I was able to help answer some questions and clarify some stuff. Officer was amazing, and really tried to help us out, especially because he said there were some new rules that had come out 2 DAYS AGO (????!!!), regarding travelling for more than 6 months and he said he had to apply these new rules. After interview officer told us to wait in the waiting area, for him to review with his supervisor and wait on final decision (we were waiting 15 minutes! But I knew I had all the RFE he could ever ask for in that big file box we brought!!! ) Anyway, long story short, we passed and have been scheduled for oath ceremony!!!
