Orlando interview a success

[Buxton babe 0]

I don't want to make this long - so here it goes...

We arrived right at 9:30 because I was nervous and directed my husband to the biometrics office - not immigration. We waited outside in line for 15 minutes. We waited about 10 minutes in the lobby.

When we were called we got up and the IO asked why there were 3 people. I told her our friend is the translator - and she said we don't need one.

We swore in and the IO let me translate . She said she speaks Spanish and that Portuguese is close. She didn't really ask us any questions about our relationship - just had my husband verify his information on the I-485. She spent a good deal asking him those questions about paying a prostitute...haha...., being a terrorist, if he wanted to overthrow the gov't, etc.

She wanted to know if he came to the U.S. alone. I told her how we met in Brazil, how I travelled back and forth, and then went to the K1 interview and we came here together.

The IO cut the corner of his work permit and I knew we were approved. She stamped his passport on the 29th page because she said he was born on that day, and he married on his b'day - I thought it was nice. She was very pleasant and I was able to make "jokes".

The only thing is she asked for proof of relationship and I gave her originals AND copies. I told her I was nervous (afterwards) for doing that because I may need the originals - she said so you can get them (meaning from where I got those). IKES. Not a good idea...but she didn't want to return them. She didn't even look at the papers though, just put them in our BIG folder.

She told him Congrats, copied our DLs and we were on our way.

Phew....

Bora, Bora

:dance: Congratulations :dance:

What originals did you have to give away ? If it was your proof of relationship, how can you get them again ?

I didn't hand in our lease, just proof that I added my husband so I don't really need it. I also lost our Gold's Gym contract but we can always get a copy of our contract from GG.

Proof that I added my husband to my insurance, basic information about my life insurance, a bill from Geico, a letter from the bank with our names on it...

I could just contact any of the above and ask for another copy. I guess that is why I didn't make a big deal of it.
