AOS Interview.

[cptrosco 0]

Hey all.

I have my interview Sept 20th.

Just a few questions/advice.

It states in my appointment letter the following

* Original and copies of each supporting document that you submitted with your application.

Can someone please explain this to me.

Also, how long does the interview take, what sort of things do they ask, does my wife come in with me.

I'm hoping this is the last time we have to worry/panic about anything lol.

Original of everything you sent them: birth certificates, passports + i-94+ visa, marriage certificate.

Our interview lasted about 15 min but each experience vary..

IO asked us how we met and verified our addresses on the g-325 forms.

IO asked me all the yes/no questions on the i485 too.

Good luck! It is really not anything to worry about

Your only at the AOS stage, Removal of Conditions comes after that and then renewing your green card every 10years or getting citizenship comes after ROC. Roc has interview and lots of paperwork and citizenship has interview/tests and papers and all this too! But after AOS you dont do ROC for a while.

my experience was exactly as engineers... no more than 15 mins. They asked for evidence of a relationship and we gave them joint bank account papers and he seemed happy with that. we had wedding photos, joint insurance on health and car also but was happy with the bank account.

Mine was the opposite. We brought three photo albums, and the IO looked through each one, even commenting on some of the photos. She asked if I had any more evidence to submit, and I handed her a stack of insurance papers, bank statements, billing statements, etc. She didn't look at any of them. She just asked if she could keep them, and then stuck them in the file.

cptrosco, for every document you submitted a photocopy of with the petition package, you need to bring the original document to the interview, as well as another photocopy. The IO who conducted my wife's interview asked to see the original birth certificates for my wife and both of her kids, as well as the English translations of them. She also asked to see the original marriage certificate. She didn't ask for the extra photocopies I brought - she just wanted to inspect the originals.

The interview letter provides a checklist of things you need to bring. Some are not required if you submitted them with the petition package - the interview letter will point out which of the items in the list this applies to. They probably won't ask for most of the stuff in the list, but you need to bring all of it anyway because they could ask for anything listed.

How long the interview takes depends on how intensively they want to investigate. Ours was also about 15 minutes, and I'd guess that most are about that long. If they have any suspicions about anything then it could take considerably longer.

Hi! Our interview was at the end of July. I had prepared everything. I spent quite a lot of time getting it all together. I had to get my divorce papers certified; he had to get his birth certificate translated again; we had to make sure he was on everything we could get him on in terms of accounts and such...

Our interview took 5 minutes. In that time, the interviewer asked my husband a few general questions (military service and about his son). That was it. He did not ask us ANYTHING about us. He did not look at anything I brought in. (original documents and copies all orderly arranged in a folder) While I was excited that we passed and he said "congratulations", a little part of me questioned why I did all of this work and spent all of this money for nothing. I thought this "interview" was to verify OUR marriage and that it was a real marriage. Not one question about us. Go figure.

I put it all in my fire-proof vault to bring out when we apply for citizenship in 2 years.

Green card came in the mail 2 weeks later. Hurray! That is the important thing...
