Well we are home and very happy, able to relax now for the next 10 years

Thank you all for all the support and encouragement last night and today, trust me it was greatly appreciated.

So here is how it all panned out this morning :

USICS Tampa, 19th July 2010, 11:30am

We arrived 45 minutes early, went and handed our appointment letter in and then were told to go and sit in the white cabin at the side of the building. We were sat there for only about 20 minutes, if we had gone at 11am we would have only been sat 10 minutes. Anyways we were called to go back to the big building and were told to go and sit in another lobby, no sooner and I seriously mean it, no sooner were we sat down than we were asked to go in to the interview, so yep our interview was early

The Interviewer introduced himself and we took the Oath, immediately he told us that he had everything he needed and would stamp my passport. He took a copy of our son's birth certificate and asked if we wanted to give him anything else, but he said quite honestly he didn't need it. I showed insurance and life insurance, that was it, he wasn't bothered about photo's etc and I had a whole file of evidence and a photo album.

So after the questions of have I even been deported or in deportation proceedings and a couple of others that was it. No other question, in fact him and my Husband got talking about jobs and having security clearances etc.

The Interviewer was great, kept us very relaxed and shook our hands on the way out. He told us there should have been another couple in before us, but they wouldn't get up and go in to the interview room, so he brought us in, weird if you ask me, but hey you never can tell whats going through peoples heads at a stressful time like this.

So now here we are at home, I have a the temp stamp in my passport and waiting on the proper GC to come through, he said it could be between 2 weeks and 2 months, but he said I was now a PR and could work and travel as I liked.

We are a very happy family this afternoon

Wishing everyone still waiting the best of luck with upcoming interviews and GC approval

Hiya,

I was nervous about the interview, but to be honest after all the preparation I was still nervous. Saying that our interviewer didn't ask to see any documents, other than things we might want to give him. I have to say though we are married over 2 years and we had our son with us. All I can say is make sure you get all your proof in order and remember to dress conservatively, my husband wore a suit and I wore a knee length grey wool dress. Oh and remember to say yes and no, not yeah and nah, they want clear and concise.

I did not receive my ead, but I have been approved for it, I had my AP and handed that over along with my I-94.

I wish you all the best and if you have any more questions please do not hesitate to ask

[BethandBilly 86]

Congratulations again Beth.. it was a very smooth interview. No more worries..

I got AP in the mail today, i thought it was my EAD since my AP status is still on initial review on USCIS webpage. But I'm happy.. hoping to receive my EAD this week...

Thanks April, it was quite the experience, but glad it's all over now.

Ah I wish they would hurry up and get your stuff out to you, the waiting is the worst part, hugs to you hun

Interview for AOS

we were little late because of my job, but they allowed us in. The officer was very polite and went over the questions in I 485. Looked at passports, driver's license, my naturalization certificate, marriage certificate and bank statements.

Then he asked me and my daughter to step outside and asked the terrorism/communism questions to my wife. Then said its approved, you will get it in 3-4 weeks.

He did not put any temp stamp in passport.

We hope that we will get AP meanwhile.

Thank you all forum members for your help and support.

good luck to all who have pending interviews/applications.
