Guys, I had my interview this morning and right now a decision hasn't been made but it went EXTREMELY WELL!! (sorry for the long post):

The appointment was at 10:30am and we got there at 10:00am. Went through security, these guys were awesome, they made jokes with us and then wished us luck. We got in to the office, checked in, and dropped the interview letter into a slip by the door and waited. We were called at exactly 10:30 but a nice and pleasant lady.

She asked us how we were doing and then we got into her office she told us that we had to stand up because she's going to swear us in, raise our right hand and then say you'll tell the truth.

Once that was done we got seated, she asked us for our IDs, actually i think maybe we gave the ID's before swearing in but i can't remember.

WE gave our drivers licenses and she photocopied them.

Then she said she's going to go through the application to make sure she has everything correct. She started with my husband, verified his name, date of birth, place of birth, address, social security number. Then she asked him when we got married and where.

Then she asked me the same questions.

After that she went through the questions of espionage, terrorism, weapons, communism etc. (all the questions i answered 'no' to on the application.

It was funny because when she came to the question about espionage I almost BURST OUT LAUGHING (I tried to hold it in and instead made a strange noise) becasue I started imagining James Bond movies... , well the interviewing officer thought i was confused and said ' you know what that means right? espionage?'

and i said 'yes, like spying?' and she said yes and i finally answered 'no, no espionage'. anyway I got serious again and we continued.

After that, she asked me AGAIN what date we got married, then she asked me if I have any children anywhere in the world. and i said no. Then there was a pause, and my husband kind of chuckled and i looked at him and jokingly asked him what about him, and he says 'She asked you, not me!' So I knew he was joking, he's very silly like that so i pretended to gasp, and then he laughed and the interviewing officer laughed and said no that question was for me and not him.

Anyway, then she asked us if we have any documents of joint assets etc, we gave her our health, vehicle insurance, mortgage document, life insurance beneficiary stuff. Then she asked us if we have a joint bank account which we do have but somehow i forgot to include that document. She told us that everything else we submitted was good but she's going to have us submit that to her also. Then she told us that the Medical report wasn't filled out completely by the doctor so we'll have to take that back to him and have him correct it. We asked if we'd have to drive all the way back to USCIS but she gave us the address and told us we have 30 days to mail everything. Then she said once she has that she'd be able to make a decision whether to approve our case.

Then she printed off the removal of conditions stuff and gave it to me and explained it.

After that she asked if we had any questions, and my husband just confirmed again what we need to send in, bank stuff and corrected medical report.

Then it occurred to me that she never asked to see pictures!! so I said 'well, what about our albums? don't you want to see pictures? So she started laughing and my husband too, he told her 'she's just excited to show it to everybody'

And the lady was so sweet she said 'ok yes, let me see them' and then she looked at them and said they were nice and then said 'ok let me take a few'. so she took about 3 pictures, scanned them and put them back in.

Then that was it!!

It was actually really fun. I was expecting it to be soooo different (yes we watched the movie 'the proposal').

So basically she didn't ask us any questions about how we met, how we got engaged, nothing. Just the questions on the application forms and that was it!

So anyway I went back to the doctor right after the interview and came home for the bank documents, and sent everything by overnight mail so it should get there by 12pm tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get the decision soon!!

to all the other April Filers, PLEASE do not be nervous for the interview, there is absolutely nothing to be worried about, I would say make sure you have your documents together, the most important thing seemed to be co-mingling of financial assets so MAKE SURe you have a joint bank account. Good luck to everybody else, I hope all the rest interviews go smoothly and everyone who doesn't have the interview letter yet I hope you get it soon!!!

p.s my husband just asked me if I was typing to my 'invisible friends' i.e you guys

My husband's bank wouldn't let him add me to his account let alone open a joint account with him. I've never had a SSN and was desperately waiting for the EAD to finally get one! Well, my interview is Monday, still no EAD, no SSN, no real financial co-mingling to speak of other than paying for cable. *sigh* I am a nervous wreck about the interview!

Take everything with you to the interview. If possible, have the bank to give you something saying you cant be added to your husbands account. I guess you can say it at the interview as well. You not having SSN is the major factor that you are unable to establish financial co-mingling and USCIS people are smart enough to understand. Just get every other possible thing that doesnt require SSN. i.e photos.

Hey falafel, welcome to the group...

I don't have a SSN and got a bank account with Chase. I brought with me; my marriage certificate (to prove address), my canadian passport, and my canadian driver's license. Good luck with your interview.

The IO I had asked us for bills that we paid together whether utilities, doctor bills or veterinary.

Make sure you take your cable bill and anything else that has both yours and your husbands signature/name and address on it.

Good luck!!
