I've read through the reviews 100x, just looking for some reassurances. If you have had your interview recently, can you link me to your review or write out a quickie? Just want to feel confident... not sure why I am so nervous.

I read tons of interview experiences before ours too and the best thing i read from some lady was that she wasn't nervous because it was another chance to talk about she and her husband's life together and how happy they are together. That really changed my perspective, as I was SO nervous before about everything going perfectly! Just relax (I know, hard to do)!

Our officer was laid back but professional, my husband and I were separated and I was interviewed first. I was asked what kind of cars we both had/what years they were, when we got married, how we met, who was at the wedding (he asked me this twice at two different points of the interview), if my husband had any tattoos. I gave him rent leases, joint bank accounts, cell phone records, envelopes sent to our address w/ both names on it, and i think that's it. He also took a couple photos from the album I brought. Good luck!
