Could someone post their interview experience? Our interview is on June 23rd in Boston. I don't know why I am so nervous. I guess the unknown...

Those seem to be for AOS. I would like to read some for removing conditions.

Interviews for removal of conditions are rare, so persons who have had an interview for that more than likely will not see this post and respond.

If there is an interview for Removal, more than likely they want to confirm that there is a bonafide marital relationship after 2 years of residency.

Interview can range from asking a few questions to a "Stokes Interview"

Hello Darlene,

I had my interview this morning. Here is a quick summary of my situation. We were married back in April of 2006, got my temporary resident approval (temporary greencard) approved February of 2007. We got divorced October of 2008 and I then filed through a lawyer, removal of conditions based on "marriage in good faith" and got my NOA in December 06, 2008. All was sent to VSC.

I recieved my letter asking me to come in for an interview May 22nd 2009 for 8am June 10th (today).

I got there around 7:20am and waited for my lawyer who met up with me around 7:45am on the third floor of the Atlanta DO.

Then at 8:10am the immigration officer calls out my name, looks at my lawyer and was like "Oh lord its you again" (Jokingly)

We sat in her office, she confirmed my name, date of birth, address, when we were married, my ex-wife's full name, and her date of birth. She also asked for my phone number which I had given her the old one and then told her I had a new number.

She looked at me and was like "how you goin' give me your old number what if I wanted to call you" and we all laughed.

She then goes "ok, now tell me what happened that lead to y'alls divorce because to be honest I havent even read your 3 page sworn summary.....and in a nutshell please, no details!"

So I tried to narrate as much as possible. Then she looks at me and goes..."Alright what the heck, I'll believe you." Then she stamps my documents and gives me a letter stating my conditions had been lifted.

For the next 10-15 minutes the conversation in her office was about her delayed retirement and how she cant wait to get the "heck outta this place!" (lol) She then told my lawyer "tell your dad I said hello." And I was asking my lawyer about the delay in the production of the cards, which he attested to because of the upgrade in equipment. He now turns to the immigration officer and asked her about this delay issue and her response....."Oh there is a delay? They didnt inform us." We laughed at her.

And that was it. My "actual" interview took less than 10 minutes, the rest was spent on side talk.

To God be the glory because it has been a very rough year in my life.

I say just go in with faith and when your marriage is genuine, there is nothing to fear and always remember....you dont have to memorize the truth.

Hope this helps.

Note: When a person gets LPR status it is NOT "Temporary", it is Permanent. Hence Lawful PERMANENT Resident, thye just have conditions attached that need to be removed later. The green-card is not a "temporary" one it is a Conditional Green-card. The only "Temporary" green-card is an I-551 stamp in a passport.
