The best advice I can give you from our interview experience:

1] Study the guide on here, all of the information is helpful and correct, and our knowledge of it led to a comment from our interviewer that we really knew our stuff.

2] Try to stay calm, it is not likely to be the confrontational, nail biting experience you might be fearing.

3] Answer all questions promptly, succinctly, and accurately, don't ramble on. Short and sweet and honest answers.

From your list you look pretty well prepared. Good luck! :thumbs:

Or ignore everything above! I had only read your initial post and just saw below you were approved! Congratulations! :dance:

I completed my review there. I got today another email from CRIS (production card ordered)

"On December 17, 2007, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."

I will not say that the interview was a piece of cake. It is going to be one of those moments that I will never forget in my life. But it was not as hard as I thought it was going to be (you know, being interviewed in separate rooms, answering intimate questions etc etc). My other tip is just to make sure that you have all of the things that they give you in that checklist, and have a valid excuse for those items on that checklist that you do not have.

Besides that, it is like going to a place to pay a bill. You don't like it, but you have to do it. :)

Good luck for everybody. Merry Xmas.
