AOS Interview LA,CA Approved

[PeterFB 0]

Hi all,

Thi and I went to her AOS interview on May 20th at the Federal Building in Downtown LA. We parked across the street from it and paid $13.25 in (cash only) for the two 1/2 hours we were there!! I wasn't aware of where else to park and since we had our baby son with us, it was the easiest place to park. However the parking lot isn't baby stroller friendly. Had to carry that up stairs and escalatiors. But we got there at 10:27 for our 10:30 appointment. Of course they were running late...... they were on 9am appointments. So we waited until about 1145 until we were called.

The interview was short, only a few questions, little paperwork was asked for and she got her approval letter on the spot with the Green on it's way in "less than 90 days probably 30-45" according to the officer.

Here's what he asked for: IDs (kept photo copies of both IDs), evidence of joint checking and saving accounts (kept copies) and medical insurance card (don't have joint gas, electric, etc) and birth certificate for our son (I stood in line for an hour the day before getting that!!). We had brought pictures, evidence of our son's birth, our entire K1 visa records, current income records, NOA2, etc all the things the letter asked for and more. But wasn't asked to show!

Here's the questions he asked.

1. How did you meet?

2. When did you meet?

3. Have you meet everyone in her family? When?

4. Have you meet everyone in his family?

5. What is your address where you live (to Thi)?

6. What is your home phone number (to Thi)?

7. What is your cell phone number (to Thi, which she mistakenly heard as Social Security number which she gave to him. That caused a little confusion!!! I explained she doesn't have a cell phone and told her the question was cell phone not SS#. So I gave him my cell phone number)

8. Where do you work (to Thi)?

9. Where do you work (to me)?

10. Have you ever been arrested (to Thi)?

11. Have you ever used drugs (to Thi)?

12. Do you have any other children (to both of us)?

13. Have you ever been married before (to both of us)?

14. Have you ever been to the US before (to Thi)?

15. Do you know the meaning of Conditional status?

Then he told us this looks like a simple straight forward case so you're approved!!! He printed the approval letter, took her EAD (which she never has used!), explained when her Green card should appear and to follow the instructions to lift conditional in 1 year and 9 months.

Peter and Thi
