Our interview is tomorrow too. Thankfully it is just an hour away in Philadelphia. We went overboard with the preparation for the K3 visa interview and didn't get asked anything. Same for the port of entry. This time we are a bit more relaxed (although we do have all our paperwork together). Hoping we don't get a grilling tomorrow.

Good luck to Starburst for tomorrow and wish us good luck too !

Speaking of interviews, is anyone noticing that the rate of approval of transferred cases has significantly decreased. It's not as quick as it used to be.

add me. Transferred back in July, and still waiting.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I'm home!

We got to the building at 8:35 for our 9am interview. Went through security and went to the third floor.

Put our letter in the box and then went inside and sat down and waited.

I was honestly surprised how casual people were dressed!! I saw lots with lawyers.

Around 9:10am a man name Jim called us. He introduced himself and told us to follow him through the maze of hallways.

As we walked, he said he appreciated that we had taken the time to dress up a bit. He said people don't really take the interview

serious sometimes.

Finally we got to his office, he swore us in and we sat down. He said he was going to go over a couple things with us. He asked

my husband for his ID, social number, address. Then asked were we met, when we got married, and if he had any children.

He turned to me, asked for my passport and social number. I still haven't remembered my number yet so I had to get my card out and read it.

He asked me all the questions on the AOS page 3(i think it's page 3). checking everything with a red pen. He asked us for letters from our jobs so I handed those over as well as a letter from our bank stating we have join ownership in our bank account.

He asked us if we had a lease, but I explained that we weren't able to add me to it until it expires, which isn't until the 30th of this month. We showed

him a copy of that lease. He flipped through a scrapbook I made and then looked through the back part of the file.

Finally he said he was going to approve our application!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

He didn't ask for my EAD or even explain about applying for removing of conditions. He just told me I would get my card in 2 weeks!

I asked him for a stamp, which he gladly gave me and sent us on our way!

I couldn't believe how easy it was!

I want to give a HUGE thank you to all of you July filers for all the support and encouragement during this process!!

You guys have made it a lot easier!!

I hope the rest of you all hear something soon!! :thumbs:

Our interview went very smoothly as well. We got called in exactly at our scheduled time of 10:00 am (which was a pleasant surprise). The lady who interviewed us told us right off the bat that she did not see any problems with our case - especially since we had already been through the whole process for the K3 visa. The rest of the interview was more of a formality. She asked a few basic questions, looked over a few of our pictures and that was it !

We got back home and saw a mail saying our card production was ordered ! We should hopefully get the card in a week or so ...
