so our interview was 8:40AM, we arrived at the local office about 5 minutes early. after we checked in, we were called around 8:55 by a middle age male officer. he was very nice and friendly to us. he lead us to his office and did an introduction and shook hand. we looked nervous at the beginning then we said by looking at our file everything looks good and he didnt see any red flag for us not to get approve, and that just made us relax a lot. then he started by verifying all the information with my wife the petitioner, then he metion about my wife's previous married and he started with appologising that he asked a awkard question and we said it was fine. but he just barely mention that didnt ask any further question about her previous marriage and why they were divoced. when my wife mention she is pregnant, then the officer said that made our case even stronger to get approved. then its my turns, just verifying info and yes or no question. he mention that he saw that we have insurance together with the wife's family which is a good thing because we had the whole family involved.

then he asked us how we met and we told him our little love story... finally he asked us if we have any question at all, we said we didnt have any question and i mention that i brought the letter from the doctor to prove my wife's pregnancy and her life insurance with me as beneficiary and our 2011 joint tax return. and her paystubs from her current job which is different from when we file the application. he didnt ask any question about anything, just kept a copy of them. finally he printed out a congradulation letter stating that im a permenant residence started with today's date until April 17,2014. and he explained that we will have to file for the removal of condition 90 days before it expire. before he send us out, he asked that do we have anything to tell him that we think he should know and we said nothing at all.. then he lead us out and congradulated us.

over all, it was a nice and flawless interview and we were out of his office around 9:20AM.

now im just have to wait for the arrival of my Green Card.
