hELLO Everyone!

sorry I wasn't able to post the interview experience right away....anyway, we made it to the Interview 10 minutes late cuz we couldnt find a parking spot and then we couldnt find the bulding. But when we got to the entrance, the security officer let us through. I think they know the building is hard to find cuz there weren't any signs outside pertaining to it. Our appointment letter was given to a lady and we were asked to wait in the waiting area together with people waiting for their naturalization interview. We waited for less than 5 minutes and we were called and sworn in. Then we were asked to present IDs ( i gave my EAD, passport and driver's permit, my husband gave his Driver's license), and the officer sifted through the thick file that was my immigration papers. He asked basic questions like when is ur husband'd bday, and he asked him when my birthday is, asked us when we got married and where. Then asked for proof that we are living together so we presented bank statements, lease, magazine subscriptions, pictures. We dont have properties yet cuz we're still in our 20's and he's in college and he checked our age when we said we didnt have properties. I think if you're in your 40s and u can't present a joint property or something then it might be an issue. After that, he said "I dont see any problems here, i'm approving your application. In fact I'm ordering card production right now" and said Congratulations. He took my I-94 but did not stamp my passport with anything nor did he take my EAD card. So it was relatively easy than we thought it would be :D

Goodluck to everyone with their upcoming interviews!

I will wait for the physical greencard before I update my signature ;)

Thanks everyone! :D
