Hi everyone

My interview appt was yesterday at 7.50 am. We got there around 7.20 am. and waited in the line for x-ray then we got in the federal building where is the immigration office located. Then we went up to 8th floor and was finding the room# 8323. When we got there, there is some ppl in the waiting room so we walked to the security and gave him my appt and our ID...and we just waited....Around 8.30 am. the immigration officer called my last name, we follow him to his office...and he ask for our IDs and passports. He just check name and address and he asked "Do you live together?" My hasband said "yes, we lived in my parent house" and then he just asked "How did u meet?" we don't know who he asked then...I just asked him...and he said whoever just told him , it doesn't matter...Then we told him that we met online on ICQ on Mid of October 2002...and I told him we met in person on May 2003 and married Oct 2005...he didn't seem really serious..and it make us feel comfortable and talked with him not like interview...he just check our address and asked us .."is it correct?" and then he asked me some of the No question...and he asked Do u have any joint account or other evidence and Do u have a copy?....we just put them together in front of him and he looked through and put them in the floder and he told me "Everything look great, I'm goona approved you after I go to make copy of your ID and passport and congratulations!!"...We said Thank you...then he got back and check in the system I'm not sure what it is about I think may be he check about FBI name check, It took a while coz the computer so slow and then he just print something for me and he told my hasband have to removed condition in 90 days before my green card expired ...I look through it , it said I was approved...and He said my green card will be mail to our house in 10 days - 2 months ....So it took about 15-20 min and he told me his computer waste our time...He wish it faster... By the way he took my I-94 and kept it in the floder but he didn't stamp my passport..Now I just wait for my green card and I'm so happy that I'm planning about go back to Thailand next year ....

P.S.>I came here with Student visa since july last year....

We paid $12 for parking across the street -- it's expensive

Thank you...about parking price I'm not sure about that coz we took metro rail to there and got off at union station...and walked to the building.It took about 5-10 min walk...but if u still want to drive there and don't mind to walk from china town so I recommend u to park in china town. The parking price around $5 all day... You can park there and walk.I don't think it too far coz yesterday after the interview we just walked from the building to find something to eat at china town...
