Good luck on your interview today bbutterfly!!!

Thank you Smurrito for your best wishes

I don't know exactly how to qualify the interview experience. We were in there for less than 20 min. She started by saying that she will not be able to make a decision today because we sent so much proof that she didn't have time to sort it out! I have to say it is the first time I hear of something like that

She asked the regular 485 questions and then how we met, how I came in this country and then ended by reminding us that she need more time to go through our file

After my husband asked her how long it would take for her to make a decision she said, she couldn't tell as of right now. She said if we haven't heard from them in 180days to make an info pass, but it shouldn't take her that long.

She didn't want to take the additional proof, and just took the updated credit cards statements(2) and the joint bank account statements.

After that she proceeded by talking to us about the whole removal of condition deal and how it would be important to remember to do that as they don't send a reminder.

She didn't ask for my passport nor I94.

So I don't know what to make of it, the interview was more like a conversation , not scary not overly friendly,

I guess we are still in the waiting game!

Hmmm...I haven't heard of anybody being penalized because they had too much info! Weird. My guy didn't ask for my I94 either - I asked if he wanted it and he told me to keep it until I receive my green card, just incase I need to leave the country...which led me to believe he didn't really know what he was doing since it was now invalid, but at this point he had already told me I was approved so I just listened .

My interview was fairly straight forward. Got there about 10 minutes early (spouse is notoriously late for everything), waited for about 20 minutes in a crowded room but finally got called in. When we went into the office, our interviewer make us take the oath, and then said right away "your application is straight forward, I'm just going to verify some of your information on the application". Then proceeded to look at our ids, ask us parents names, etc. He asked if we had some pics, I did -I gave them to him but he didn't keep any, just browsed through them. I offered more info (joint bills, etc.) which he took, but I had to offer. Then said we were approved, gave us the ROC info and that was it! I got an email later that day saying the card was in production. I asked if he needed anything, my EAD or I-94...but nope, told me to keep them. The officer was very friendly, he recognized where my spouse worked and talked about that, was joking around, etc. We were in and out probably in 10-15 minutes tops.

Still nothing on my side since the EAD and AP, almost one month ago. Still waiting for my interview letter and date.

I believe this is because the New York office must be quite busy...Starting to worry a little bit

I've heard the NY office is busy. I'm so sorry you have to keep waiting. Hopefully you hear something soon mon ami. As hard as it is, try not to worry! Thankfully you have your EAD and AP now.

Had our interview today.

The guy asked me quite a few times whether i knew that the visa waiver program was only for 90 days and was i aware that id overstayed.

He then said he had to go check with his supervisor so i was freaking out a little.

10 minutes later he came back and said we were approved! Phew!

Happy days!!
