Hi folks,

I just had my interview today. It took us only ~20 minutes. Everything went well and the officer was really nice lady. She first went through I-485 with both of us and then asked some questions about how we first met. She also asked when my husband moved to AZ.

I want to share some experience wth all the couples that are still waiting for interview.

(1) be well-prepared. Collect the evidence as much as you can. At the end of the questioning, she asked us if we have anything else to show her. We were well-prepared and showed her all the stuff such as letters from friends (which she read one by one), the house purchase contract, our joint bank accounts statements, photoes, health insurance ect..

(2) practise some questions such as how you met for the first time and how did you spend the previous day ect. It will help with wording, calming down ect..

(3) do not be superstitious. One of our car tires broke ~2 miles before we got USCIS office, I was very nervous about it but it turned out to be fine.. :)

Anyway, i just got an e-mail from USCIS saying that the card production ordered... very happy about that!

This process went really fast. It only about 2.5 months from NOA1 to today. So I wish everyone good luck!!!

Thanks for all your support these days!

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.
