Hi VJ friends,

Thank you for all your help. My hubby was approved his conditional GC on Friday. I thought I would share my experience as I am sure some of you might be nervous as we were. Our interview was in the immigration office in Los Angeles. Make sure even by mistake there is no camera in your purse otherwise they will not let you in. I made a mistake by carrying my camera in my purse as I forgot to take it out the night before. So, they told us to go back and put it in the car. So, I had to walk back to the big parking structure and find my car while my husband waited inside. Also,if your appointment says 9 or 9:30 does not mean they will take you at the exact time. We still had to wait for an hour before we got to go inside. Once you get inside there is a big waiting room and then they call you by order of the appointment letters they get. Your interview really depends on the officer interviewing you. We got an awsome officer and he only looked at our wedding pictures and had our AOS file that we originally sent in front of us. He was impressed that we did everything on our own. Joked around with us a few times and approved us. It did not take too long. I went through all the trouble to gather the other documents like lease, and bank letter. But it was not needed after all. I can't say that is the case with all because you could get a officer who might grill you. I guess we got lucky after all. If any of you have additional questions let me know.
