You're all lucky to have appointments in the afternoon or late morning!....my interview is at 8.30 am! Gooooooossh, would be too nervous to even have breakfast or anything!

PFFT... Who said I would be eating breakfast..lol I'll be too nervous too

Hopefully you walk in, the IO has his/her coffee. Ready to start the day. They came to work and hit no traffic and just heard their favorite song on the radio. They see HOW CUTE this couple is and figure.. WOW.. She looks so nervous and so does he... I bet they did not eat anything for breakfast. Lets get them out of here so they can have a nice brunch together

[sensible 2]

[Alla 3]

Alla.. I am so with you. I want it over yet scared to death. Got a great ultra sound pic of the baby today. They could not locate the heart beat so they did a scan. Seems the little one likes to move too much..lol I loved seeing my hubby see the baby moving all around. He was like a little kid.. "Omg, it that the head.. and oohh little arms... look at him move.. Looks like little chicken legs wow..

I can imagine I heard men afraid to pick babies up after birth because they are scared to break it.

I have two options regarding Besa! First she is drunk by now and took over some bar holding in hand her stamped passport. Second, she went shopping because the answer will be received by mail.

That's so true. I have mine on monday and at 8.00...It is twice as bad. Right away!!! IO won't be able even to finish her coffee and we are standing right in the corridor waiting.

I guess they start earlier than 8 am because IO will need to get to the office and get the file ready and put all stuff together. May be they start at 7 am ?

2 WARNINGS.. Been hanging here all day..I know as soon as I leave her little butt will show up!

Stop ya whining ppl lol ... had to wait for my internet access

So our appt time was to be at 11:05 am but dealing with my rush, rush hubby, we got to Philly at 9:45 and had to kill some time til at least 10:15. We entered and went through the security scan (joked a lil with one of the guards- she was a sweety) and made our way up to the waiting room on the 3rd floor. Of course there were no clocks so we didn’t have a clue how long we were waiting but the room was ¾ filled with AOS, ROC and Naturalization people. I walked to the front desk and handed the lady behind the glass window my interview letter and was told to have a seat and wait to be called.

At least 3-4 couples were, in my opinion, given the Stokes interview as the IO sent one spouse back to the waiting room while they interrogated the other spouse. Funny thing is, the ones who were given such treatments, had attorneys present while the others who didnt, including us, were never separated. We were the last to be called in before lunch (so to speak) at about 1. We were interviewed by an Asian lady, Ms. Cho. She was very polite yet got straight to the point since they were obviously runnin behind schedule.

She asked us if there were anything we wanted to add to the file and even though I had an enormous amount of stuff, I just let her look through our photo albums, joint bank accounts, lease, benefits enrollment form and pics (of which, only the photo albums were new evidence cuz she didn’t ask for any of our insurance cards since we already submitted info regarding the enrollment). She then went straight into questioning us.

Hubby’s questions

She spent a good 5 mins doing so and started to inquire about who went to the wedding (12). (Hubby named every single person but ticked me off by telling her how his mom didn’t approve even though she didn’t ask him all that lol)

When did we get married?

Where was it held?

What we did afterwards?

When did we start going out?

Where did we go on dates?

How long was it before we decided to get married?

Asked hubby visa am I on?

Where I lived in Detroit? (too many places so she by-passed it

What school I attend, and what school I got my degree from?

What is my major here and in my degree?

When was I last enrolled?

My questions

When and how did we meet?- Then if we still went to that church.

What did/do we have in common?

How often did we see each other during school?

What activities did we do when I visited?

Where hubby works?

How many times I visited the US? Too many to count

When did I enter on my student visa?

Has he ever taken time off to come to Detroit?

When did he visit and what did we do?

Oddly, will I go back to school in august?

What was our first movie? (too long ago) so she asked what was our last movie together? Made small talk as to her wanting to know about it.

Then asked about the I-130 questions

Both

And if we’re married?

What do we know about each other’s parents? Age, Job, Name, Address

Then, asked us to verify our own and each others’ Age, Job, Name, Address.

What do I want to do as a career?

After that, she asked, again, if I wanted in include anything. I gave her the most recent 3 pay stubs and employment letters from both jobs and to make a copy of my I-20. She then said thanks for coming in and that we’ll get the letter in about 30 days as they have cut down on giving out stamps (even though she said sorry and we‘ll have to wait to take hubby to JA). She asked us to stay in the wait room until she made copies and when she came out, I told her about my EAD touches and said if I get it I coud use it but I might get my GC before that.

God is good.

Received my advance parole documents yesterday! They sent two copies actually, both dated 6/28/2010. Would be nice to travel now

Congrats hon

BesaAngel..... I am anxiously waiting... Come on Girl! Fingers and toes crossed!

It is hard waiting for the interview.. even harder when those you love and care about are going through their interview and you CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR...
