Hi everybody!

Thank you for posting your interview experience. As a matter of fact, I have just received my initial interview letter Re.My AOS .And it 's going to take place,as yours, in Garden City on 08/01/06.

I'm a little annoyed about our wedding which was actually delayed until we travel overseas where the family is . We got married of course in city Hall and the mosque.We have lot of pictures together in Niagara Falls and in New York ond other with friends at home.we do also have joint account,joint bills ..what Else?

phone bills showing our daily conversations when we are at work.

My question is: are these documents sufficient for an interview in Garden City.

your advises will be greatly appreciated

thank you !!!

Hi all,

We had a successful interview today at Garden City, NY.

Previous posts have already talked about the lack of a PA system and to sit near the entrance of the main waiting room (pink seats we were told).

Our interview time was 1.30. We arrived about 12.30 and was called into the 2nd floor waiting room soon after 1. We were called in for the interview about 2.30, sat down at the officer's desk and he left......... we would have been in his office by ourselves for over 5mins while we observed an "approved" stamp on the desk. We resisted the temptation.

The interviewer was void of personality and didn't even introduce himself. It all went very methodically. He asked for 3 photos from the wedding, 3 since the wedding, some bills and bank statement. He also took my vacc. supplement that I had done 2 weeks ago (at civil surgeon) and our new Affidavit of Support.

My USC wife was asked the most questions re. when/how we met, how long we had been dating, where we got married and about my sibling(s). I was asked about my wife's siblings.

We had the option of waiting for another hour for the passport stamp (obviously not the one on his desk then!) or leaving and waiting for the card to arrive via mail. We choose to get out of there and put our faith in usps...... I asked whether my background check had been done, and he said we wouldn't be there for the interview if it hadn't been done........ by the sounds of other VJers, this is not necessarily the case.

There was no "welcome to America" or advice re. removal of conditions in 21 months time, just a very monotone "congratulations".

Mission accomplished.

Thanks to all on here for sharing your experiences. It has been a tremendous source. All the very best in your cases and life in the states.
