Interview today at San Antonio, TX

[PinkMelody 1]

Our interview was 8:30am this morning. We live in Austin so we left our place at 6:30am. With almost no traffice we arrived there at 7:45am so we went ahead to the building.

Passed the security within a minute. Handed out the appointment letter and signed the book and set down. With infopass and all the other stuff, waiting area was almost packed.

At first, me and my husband was so nervous we were shivering for like 5 minutes lol but then as time goes by we got calm down. Around 8:40, IO walked toward us, stood right in front of us, said 'Hello' in Korean

We rode an elevator together chatting to his office. He swore us in and started conversation with asking us if we watched movie called 'Proposal' however we both didn't watch it and he told us it was something about marrying USC for green card and stuff.

Then he asked me my full name.

where I was born.

My birthdate.

What city did I first come in to the States. (Austin was my answer and he asked why did I pick Austin)

How and when did we meet. (He was surprised that we've been together for 6 years!)

If my family lives in the States.

Who came to our wedding.

Have we been to Korea to visit my parents (I told him I couldn't because of my status and he said it wasn't a trick question and he wasn't thinking)

He asked my USC husband his full name.

birthdate.

Where do his parent live.

What immigrations status are the parents.

Between the question we had all these small talks about Korean food, Korean people, his military year in Korea. We had quite a fun interview. We spent almost an hour chatting.

After that he took my EAD card and expired I-94. Then he said he's gonna put a stamp on my passport so meanwhile I wait for my green card, I can travel outside of US and can get a job. He even made the stamp valid for one year just in case I would have any troble getting my conditinal green card. Right then he was like 'Oh let me stamp this first' and took out APPROVED stamp and put it on my applications.

He explained Removing condition after one year and 9 months. We can send in as much as evidences so we wouldn't have another interview later and added a child is a rock solid evidence for that if we're planning. If we don't send in lots of evidence USCIS might want to do another interview but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

We did hank shakes and did another small talk in the elevator down to the door.

And tada~ I'm a permenant resident as of today

Thank you so much to all the members in VJ. You guys literally saved us almost $2000 lawyer fee and helped mentally so much!

All other applicants who wait for interview, I wish you all the best!
