We were surprised to get an interview letter as we had already been interviewed for AOS. We arrived a few minutes early and put our letter in the box. We waited for a long time, maybe one and a half hours before we were called. Our IO was very serious but friendly. She reviewed our application form and verified information like address and phone number. She asked about joint insurance, bank accounts, trips we had taken, and if we plan to have children. Most of the questions were financial in nature. We gave her our latest bank statements and utility bills along with some new affidavits from friends. We had already sent in a big envelope of evidence, and our interview was scheduled only two months after sending in our paperwork, so there wasn´t much to add. She flipped through our complete immigration file quickly and asked a few more questions about work and school (my husband is a student). Then she told us that we would have a response in a month. We were disappointed to not be approved right away like we were at AOS, but we felt that the interview was pretty good. After more than a month had passed we started called USCIS, but got no information. After more than 2 months, we scheduled an infopass and were told we had been approved. Shortly after we received the email saying the card had been ordered. Overall the interview experience wasn´t bad, but we were extremely frustrated with the long delay in approving us. From reading others´reviews, it seems that this office has a problem with completing their work in a timely manner. We are wondering if our file just sat on someone´s desk and was ´lost´for 2 months.
