Thank you guys for the good luck wishes! I think I need it as I await for the decision via mail. I'm happy to help by sharing my experience on this process. I wish someone had done for same for me.
Anamaria2009: I only had a divorce decree, but the comlaint is part of the divorce decree, the divorce lawyer said that's how the county does it or something like that. We got separated because we could not get along, he was diverting from our plans and wanted us to proceed with our life in a completely different and unfair way, for me. I had a divorce decree, and my evidences inlcuded lease, health insurance, copies of joint checking account cards, some pics, joint mailing labels, a notorized letter explaining the situations leading to divorce, letters from the bank to show joint address, joint tax return. And you are right about not stressing myself out for things that are out of my control now.
scorpionking: I actually filed with a waiver request becuase I had entered the marriage in good faith but it ended in a divorce. I am glad I am of help. My main purpose for posting my interview is so others have an idea. I know how tough the process is. Divorce is tough thing to go through, as I have learned through experience in my mid-twenties. My marraige was brief, but that didnt make it less painful, emotionally. And, I now feel so out of place, now that my friends and siblings are getting engaged and married, as I'm already a divorcee. And, on top of this, to go through the immigration process is just too much. I'm usually the kinda person that stresses about everything, but this time I am just calm and numb. I was sad and numb during the interview, I did not get nervous or stress at all. When she asked me for dates and stuff, I just told her that I dont really remember since i was not keeping track of exact dates. I dont remember the exact date that my ex left, when we separated but was able to give her estimates.
Milan Kudrak: As for part IV, I think she had a right to ask me the kind of questions that she asked. she saw on my file that I was married on April, applied for AOS in May (my student status was running out at end of May), got the GC in Sept, and separated by Dec. So she basically explained what she saw and asked me that since I got married before the other status ended, and then separated few months after I got the GC, did I do it for immigration reasons? And (if I remember correctly) I said No about four time calmly and told her that after graduating from college, I was sorta starting out with my life, and looked for jobs anywhere stationed all over and my homeland, not neccessary the US. But I had dated him for a while, we were in love, and he was morning the death of his mom, and decided to propose to me. So I said yes, which meant staying here and I could not igonore that it was best if I started the immigration process soon after marrying...I believe she asked me again, that "so immigration didnt have anything to do with marriage" I said no, I didnt marry him for immigration reasons.
The interesting thing was that she was taking notes the whole time but she didnt take notes on this and she observing me the whole time. And then she asked me if I know his phone number. I said yes, I actually still have it on my cellphone and then I gave it to her, I also offered her his home phone number. She wrote his number on the I-751 form that I had submitted. Then she looked at the additional evidence that I had brought and said she is going to keep them, and she is going make copies of the passport, gc and id. And what surprised me was that she got into a happy, sort smilley mood. So I dont know what that means.
I dont really know what to think since for me AOS interview, the guy that interviewed us didn't make the decision then. He said he had to pass his interview notes through his supervisor before make a decision, and that's thier office policy. This time she said she was going to review her notes before making a decision (again, on a happy mood).

Hello all, I wanted to post my interview experience from this morning in case it will help others and also get your opinions on this.
My interview was scheduled or 8:15 am, and I arrived at the local immigration officer aroung 7:50 am. There was a short line, and after about 10minutes of waiting I was called in by a middle aged femal interviewer. She started by introducing herself and asking me to drop all of my stuff (purse) and raise my right hand. Then she did the "I swear to tell the truth and whole truth..." and I said "I do" and then had a seat. She asked for ID, passport and green card. I pulled out an expired id first and then the updated one, she said she wanted them both. Also noticed that the address on my petition and id was not the same so she asked. And I explained to her that I had informed them of the address change online but then they did not make that change and so I just recently sent the AR-11. She gave me a handout explaining that there is 2 steps to changing addresses, online and physical form.
Part I: she asked me pretty much all of the questions on my application/petition one by one. For example my birthday, my ex-husband's name,...so on. And then asked me to verify that, at the bottom of my application was my signature. I answered everything correctly except my birthday- which is stupid, I confused month and date, we both laughed and I corrected that.
Part II: She asked me if I have any more evidence for her apart form what I submitted, and i gave two letters from our bank when we had a joint checking account. One verified address change and other one was something else I cant remember...she took them. I also told her I got more pictures, which she kept. And she went through the pictures and asked few questions, like, was this your wedding, was this during your wedding...
Part III: she asked me where we met, why we got married when he propsed (the date), when we got married, if I had any evidence from our pre-marraige relationship, and why we divorced including the dates of when we separated and such. I dont know how bad this is bad I could not remember the exact date of when I got proposed too, so she asked me to give her an approximate one. But I was able to remember important dates like the wedding date and such...She asked if I told my family about the wedding, and asked how they reacted to my wedding news, and if we visited my home country with my then husband.
Part IV: She said that I got married a few weeks before my student visa status was running out, and I got divorced a few months after I received the green card. So, did you get married for immigration reasons? I told her no, and that once I had said "yes' to his proposal it was important that we had to proceed with immigration business before I run out of the student status. us getting married meant being togther and part of that was to make sure that I was legal here...I probably used the different words.
Part V: She said she was going to make copies of my ID, green card, and passport and I should wait for her in the room. Then she came back and gave them to me. She said that I should always keep updating USCIS with my new address everytime I change addresses. Also, she said she will review my file later and make a decision. She smiled and said I will walk you out.
The interview lasted abotut 20-30 minutes.
I didnt see her get into a bad mood or anything, but I'm really confused to how this went since she asked me straight out that "did I get married for immigration reasons?" and she didnt make the decision today.
What do you guys think?
Thank you!
