Interview experience - Newark, NJ

[Ben & Katie 13]

Today I was approved. We had our interview at 8:30am in Newark, NJ.

We waited 30 mins outside the building in the security line and arrived at the 14th level at 8am and checked in. We were called in at 9am.

The interviewing officer was a very polite women in her early 30's. Our interview lasted for 10 mins and we weren't required to submit any documentation, which was disappointing because we had prepared so much. All the officer requested was the originals of the marriage certificate, our birth certificates, passports, drivers licenses and my social security card. She didn't ask to see my EAD card nor keep it after the interview.

My wife (USC) was asked to verify her name, maiden name, address and parents names. I was asked the same questions as my wife plus the yes/no questions, my last address outside the US, the POE where I last entered, what other visas I have and she queried my intentions when I last entered because I adjusted from a B-2. She then gave me a letter saying no further documentation is required and said I should get my green card in 1-2 weeks. This afternoon I got the approval and card production email.

I was amazed that we were never asked about our relationship, our wedding, how we met or for any documentation. This was also the first occurrence I have heard of intention coming up in the interview!

Congratulations! If all goes well, I should be interviewing at Newark too and am hoping it is as stress-free as yours.
