Hi guys!! I am now relaxed and brave enough to share with you guys about my interview yesterday because my status hasn't changed anything after the interview. This is how the interview went. We got to the USCIS Santa Ana 15 mins before my appointment which was at 12:00pm. The waiting room is so packed and fully filled with people waiting. We wasn't called until 12:25pm. There is a slot that you can slide your appointment letter in and you just had to wait to be called. The officers are likely randomly picked the appointment letters from there(not sure) and they opened the door and called your name and walked you in. He looked very good with grey suit and seemed nice. He greeted us and smiled. We asked how he was doing? And he asked us either to turn off the phones or put them into airplane mode. Right before we got in his office, he asked for my ID's so he could make a copy of them. He returned my husband's passport but keep my passport in his hands. When we got in the office, I and my husband took a seat and he apologized and asked us stand up so he could swear us in. As we sat down he began asking my husband what his full name was, what his address was, his phone number etc, which I got a little peak that he was confirming all the infomation in the i-135 form. Then he asked for the income and finacial stuffs. My husband gave him his employment letter, W2s of 3 years, pay stubs of the recent 6 months. Then he began with me, he asked me when we got married, and where do i live now? I was having a little bit hestitate when answering his question about the address number because i had to translate from Vietnamese into English in my head. He asked me "you've been living there for 4 years but you dont know the address!" I was a little bit freaked out but my husband throw a bucket of water in the fire by saying that my English is very minimal. And then he asked for my birthday! I again answered it wrong 1889 instead of 1989. The officer corrected me this time. Hahaha. Then he asked my phone number and name of my parents. Then he asked for my original birth certificate and I noticed that he just wanted to compare with the one I submitted in the package and then he went through the YES/NO application questions with me. He asked me about his birthday. He also asked me my entry date. He asked me how we met and when, where was our first date. He asked about our parents and if anyone witnessed us at the marriage ceremony and why there was no family witness us??? he asked me if we have any joint documents with us. We gave him 2016 taxes return, he asked why my husband claimed me for only 2016 but not since 2015 when we got married, he also asked for my new medical exam envelop and ask us why it would take us so long to file for AOS. We answered that we want to get a 10 year GC so that's why we waited and it is so true, I just dont want to go thru another process like this again. Then we handed him the health insurance policy from his job, bank account and a big album with a lot of pictures from our trips ranging from 2014 till 2017. He asked us if he could take some pictures from the album ( around 6-7 pics). Then he told us to relax now and he started to type on the computer. My heart was pounding so hard coz i didn't want to get any paper saying that my case should be reviewed but he printed out 2 papers and he congrated me that i am approved and the card should be delivered to me in the next 90 days. The papers were the approval letter for both i485 and i130. He also informed me that if I ever have an emergency to leave the country, I could come in and get my passport stamped for temporary GC. We were shaking hands with him and then he walked us out. We said goodbye and thanked him and we left. I was superrrrr happyyyyyyyyyy..... at least my miserable days are almost over!!!
Yay!!! Approved on the spot for the same-sex marriage interview at Santa Ana Office. The officer is cool and nice but he is very throughout!!!! So be prepared and stay easy!!! Nothing to hide if you are authentic!! I will post about the interview later!! Thank you guys all!!!
@Jabbie yes we all got the envelope and NO don't take it with u everywhere. Ur state or drivers lisence should suffice for regular everyday identification. If lost or stolen ur greencard cost over $600 to replace and it's also a long process. I would put it in the same place I put my passport, marriage n birth certificate n other important dox. Only take it out when necessary.
Had my interview today it went well took us less than 10 mins only question she asked questions about who brought my son into the us and who he was living with when He was still in a Jamaica. She said she is going to order the greencard to expect it in 10 business days. My status hasn't been updated online yet.
I've tried accessing our H&R Block account yesterday, all I see is our Ny state one, there's no 1040 !!!!
I guess I'll just get transcript from the IRS website.
