the interview was overall good.We swore in first and then she went through some questions on the petions.She asked my husband for his birth certificate and my license.then asked me why i got a duplicate license.i told her we just moved so she updated my application.then she asked my husband his birthday to confirm and asked me to confirm my birthday and where i was born.she asked if we have kids.she asked if my husband has petioned for anybody before.she asked me if anybody petioned for me before and i told her i had a greencard when i was a baby through my mom and also later on i was on my moms petition as beneficery.she asked my husband if he has ever seen my baby picture.(i was like what the hell:P)he said yes.i thought she wanted to make sure that he prepared the folders with me since i had a copy of my green card that i had when i was a baby.so then she shows him a paper "have you seen this one before?"i looked at i was like "wow i didn't even see that one".so yea it was the application that was put in for me when i was like a month old and that was the pic.then she asked when my F1 visa expires i said it expired already,actually it expired while i was entering the us but i was given a visa waiver.so i handed that to her.(i know i was very very lucky)then she asked about the opt i told her that expired this january and i have the EAD based on the I-485.so then she asked my husband how did you make the decisioin to marry me.man my husband froze for a second(he doesnt really like talking other people how he feels;P)so at this mometn i had a big smile on my face.then he was like well i love her, she makes me feel very good,when the times are hard she is there for me..i was like "aww" and he was kinda getting red:)so then she was like thats good but what was that moment that spark made you ask her.so he started "well when we were living together at Gainesville we were deciding where to move.i wanted jacksonville,she wanted naples.so we ended up in naples:)after we move i realized even though i dont like naples,i'm very happy with her.so I realized it didn't matter where I am as long as I am with her and that's when I decided to ask her to marry me" I had this huge smile.then she turned to me and said "see I'm asking that for your benefit"I said it is nice to hear things like that ))then she said "well I have one problem with your case"an dmy heart dropped (i saw a tab saying no info in my folder).she said my medical wasn't completed all the way by the doctor ,the doctor signed and dated but didn't put his name or the hospital's name.and he didn't include my xray copy.so she said that's the only thing holding your case to process,once we get that the card will be in the mail (at least this is what I heard:P)so she said ssincfe you live all the way in naples you don't need to ocme back you can just mail that document or if you prefer to come then your case will be processed that day.so i asked if there is gonna be second interview and she said no all we need is the medical to be signed and the report for the xray.so then she asked for the stuff we have our names on it and i started to hand all these copies and bills.she said i dont need all of them just the copies i can take.i said they are all copies for you:)then she asked about the photos i showed her the album i made since the day we started.then she asked to keep some of them i said you can take whichever you prefer but she said i rather you choose..then i was handign some of them explaining "this was our first kiss" she was like "u sure u wanna give me that pic?" "I was like no actually I don't "then my husban and I chose some pics while she was updating everything.then she was like well you have a very big folder (they had everything from my old cases also).she was gonna have us wait to give this notice saying i need to resubmit the medical and how but then she was nice ands aid well you waited enough i'll just give you this copy.then she sshook our hands and said she will still mail us a notice giving a time for us to bring the medical or to send the medical by that date.then she walked out with us and said drive safe:)now I am happy it wasn't my fault but I am pissed about this medical thing.I mean these doctors are the ones that do this kind of stuff all the time and he had to make a mistake on mine.and why I have never gotten a REF about this I have no idea.at least when they asked me to fo to infopass last week (by msitake!!!!) they should have told me or something.so now I am waiting for the notice and then I don't know if I will take it over there or just overnight the medical.

so I am so happy that this thing is over at least we are done with our interview.but still I can't jump up and down untill I get that approved notice or the card .

I want to thank you all for all your support.

It's already there in her spreadsheet. So far 4 with transfers have been approved...vinacafe, Pam&Josh, aleena, and jonandmary.

Thanks for your reply. What I cannot tell from the spreadsheet is whether the four people that you listed above were also interviewed or not. It is possible that their application was transferred to CSC and they also had to attend the interview.

They didn't interview. They just got approval emails. I believe if you are going to be transferred to a local office for an interview, you would be informed. Have you had touches recently on your AOS? What dates?

Hi all,

I haven't really posted much here but wanted to give my review of my husband's AOS successful interview, which we had today:

We arrived, and there were only about 15 people in the waiting room. Our interviewing officer was super nice and pretty funny. She swore us in, verified Part 1 of the I-485, asked the questions about drugs/prostitution/etc, commented that it was good that the vaccines were already done, and then asked me (USC) to give any documents we wanted that we didn't already submit. We gave copies of health insurance, car insurance, 2008 income taxes, bank statements, and 5 months of pay stubs. She asked me if I'd met his family, how and where we met, my husband's father's & mother's first names, my husband's birthday, if we lived in a house or apartment, and if my husband had yet met my parents. Overall an awesome interview! She said she'd, "probably approve this and get it all done today," and then explained the 2 yr conditional card and let us keep his EAD card & AP docs "because you guys already paid for them" (but they were free with our AOS submission). And then she asked if we had any photos, and she looked at all the photos we had (about 30) and made fun/nice comments about them, and then made some copies of them. The whole thing lasted about 30 minutes with the extra talking & copying we did.

It was funny that I didn't realize until now, while talking with my husband, that the only real questions she asked him (the non-USC!) were the terrorist/prostitution/drugs questions, and the rest she asked me. Also, when she was asking the questions, she read off the form, would look up to finish the questions, and while our friend was translating the questions back to my husband (we brought her to translate since he isn't yet fluent in English), she would look back down at the form, look up when he would respond no, and then look back down at the form for the next question. She didn't seem to "study" us or our body language, or scrutinize us, or ask strange questions. She was just really nice, which we were grateful for, since the other officers we saw to interview other couples seemed a little strict.

Congratulations nm123!! :dance:

Hi Idealistix, the way the spreadsheet is set up whoever is transferred to CSC is shown as approved without an interview. If anyone will be transferred back to local office for interview, I'll make a note on the spreadsheet

We got our welcome letter yesterday, and the card itself came today. Yaaaaayyy!!!

That was quick! Congrats!! :dance:

[KIMCORENE 0]

Got a transfer to CSC letter the other day (didnt have time to get on)......the Notice date on the letter says Feb. 27th. I havent had time to read down all of the posts but is being transferred to CSC a good thing or just a normal procedure/step in the process?

That's a good thing! It usually means you wont have an interview!
