Hi Guys,

I am hoping this will help atleast someone. I am US citizen and i was the one sponsoring my husband. Here's our Timeline. We were lucky to have this process finished real fast. So there is hope there :)

3/17/2012: Overnighted 1-130 and I-485

3/19/2013: Packaged Delivered

3/21/2012: Received Receipt #s

3/22/2012: Checks Cashed:

3/26/2012: Received Confirmation in the mall - I-797s

3/31/2012: Received Letter for Biometric Appt For 4/23

4/23/2012: His Biometric Appt

5/02/2012: Checked website for Status- Interview Date Determined: June 6th 2012 (letter came next day)

6/06/2012: Had our interview in Newark NJ, early morning. At the end said everything looked good but had to do one last check.Then at the end of the we checked status online at 6 pm and we were APPROVED

6/14/2012: Got GREEN CARD in the mail!

Our Interview was at the Newark Office. She looked a little strict but was nice.

- She asked us for our papers first and then then wanted to see pictures.

-We showed her our engagement album ( i had a big engagement party ). She asked him he if recognized certain ppl in this party (TEST).

- WE had a court wedding so we only had a few pictures. She did ask why we had a court wedding and not a big wedding.

- She looked at our papers a little ( we have only been married for a while, like 6 months so we didn't have much to show her and since we lived with my parents all we had was insurance, car insurance and bank statement.)

-Try to take copies of your certificates - birth, marriage and others ( like if you have a naturalization certificate). She will keep the copies. Its easier if you take copies (faster)

-Make sure to take everything you have.

-She only asked my husband basic questions- my name, date of birth, my parents name, home address.

- She asked me how we met , our first date and where we went. Asked me about his date of birth, his full name and his parents name.

Overall we were lucky in the entire process. So hope this will help someone and give hope that fast and smooth processing is possible. Good Luck :)
