We had our AOS interview this morning at the Tampa USCIS office.

We arrived at 6:30 and they opened shortly after. Had to show our Interview letters to get in, then went through security. Gave the interview letters to another security guard and was told to go down the hallway and take a seat.

We were called at 7:05, followed the officer back to his office. He swore us in and then asked for photo ID. Gave him all 3 of our passports (Mine, My Wife's, and My Step Daughter's). Also handed him my License and my wife's license. My wife is from Manchester England, so he asked her about Manchester City Vs United. Then we chatted about our local football team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He asked me for any sort of joint accounts, and while I pulled those, he asked my wife a few of the no questions. Even stopped at the terrorist one and said he didnt think she was a terrorist.

He asked my step daughter how school was and what grade she was in. Then I handed him our most recent bank statement and a copy of our Chase credit card statement. I offered him more if he wanted it and he said that was all he needed.

Then he threw away my wife's EAD, stappled our I-94s to their I-485 applications and printed out a form we had to sign about removal of conditions.

And that was it.

We had a HUGE binder of evidence and numerous photo albums, but he didn't look at any of it.

He was very laid back and friendly.

We got the I-551 stamps in the passports

We had no questions on intent either, since my wife and step daughter entered on VWP.

Very easy interview! We are just so glad to have it done.

I also want to say thank you to Visa Journey and to the individuals who have helped me with the forms and other questions.

Now we are going to party!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
