We got there 1 hour early. We were called into the interview pretty close to our scheduled appointment time. It was a lady. She asked us to sit down, with me (immigrant) had to sit on the right???? She introduced herself and we shock her hand. She swore us in. Then is opened up my file which was about 8 inches thick. My original I-129f, I-130, EAD, 485 applications were all there. She asked for our ID's. She just asked me ALL the same questions that were on the 485 application. With her red pen she would mark things on the 485 as she went along. She also made marks along the right side of the 485 appl where it said "for office use only". She asked my husband (petitioner) what his date of birth and his place of birth. That was all she asked him. Then she asked for something to prove that we live together like bank statements.....I had so much to show her but she said that the bank statements were good enough. Then she said she was going to approve our application. That I would be getting a letter in afew days and then my GC in the mail in about 10 days. She said I could apply for citizenship after 3 years of living in the u.s. She congratulated us and we thanked her and said good bye. It is very professional and smooth. I do think they can tell by the application if there are any questionable items on your application. We were lucky that everything was in order. Hope this helps others. She also kept my EAD card and canceled my K-3 visa in my passport by putting a long line across it with APAC letters on it.

Me too. CONGRATULATIONS!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
