Got APPROVED today. What a great feeling. Thanks to all VJ members, you have been my no. 1 source for all my immigration questions!
I brought lots of bona-fide wedding documentation to be safe, along with the copies and originals of what I submitted already (as stated in the notice).
There was no wait, the officer greeted us 5 min BEFORE our scheduled time! And I’m quite a joker myself but prepared myself to be stoic, but it was needed since the officer made jokes all the way from greeting us until the time we left!! I didn’t expect that!
Before we sat down he almost said we were approved! I did not have to show ANY of the documents that I brought, just went over all the ones I had submitted, and within 15 min we were approved after sharing how we met each other.
The rest of the interview was to make sure the card was sent to production (he showed his screen confirming that), getting the I-551 stamp in my passport since travelling out of country soon.
We spent the last 10 min about next steps of naturalization in 3 years time, with the interview questions to expect.
I couldn’t have asked for an easier interview and what a great officer I got! Wish you all have that same blessing
