— Getting to the interview
Got there an hour early due to worry about Atlanta traffic. Maps said it would be 15-40 minutes and it took 15.
—Before interview
Went in 15 minutes before the interview per the instructions. Got through security, went upstairs and showed them our ID/interview notice. Got our number then went up to the 3rd floor. Waited about 20 minutes before getting called.
—The interview
After reading stories about interviews especially at Atlanta office I was nervous, but he was really nice. There was a pretty tense atmosphere during the information check and handing over of the documents probably more due to us being nervous than anything.
He asked me (the USC) more questions than he asked my husband. I told him how we met, if we met each other’s families and when, how we got engaged and where, the wedding. Then he asked my husband about my family, how often he sees them, etc. He mentioned a joint sponsor and I panicked for a second before I realized he hadn’t seen my updated Affidavit of Support. He flipped through it and the evidence then said everything looked really good. Complimented how organized and thorough it was.
Normal checks of information and family names. He asked for proof of relationship and kept ALL of it. Every photo and bank account print out.
Then he printed out two pieces of paper and explained that the first meant that we had been to the interview and that they would be contacted if anything else was needed. Then the second was information about the temporary green card and when to file for removal of conditions, since he was approving our application.
After that he asked if we had any question and sent us on our way.
