Hi everyone,

I went to my initial interview today and it has been approved! I am very happy and thought to share my interview experience with you.

My lacal office is Chula Vista and the interview time was 8:45 a.m. this morning.

We arrived 5 minutes before the interview, went in the office and waited for about 10 minutes until they called my husband's name. In a little room where the interview was take place, a lady (interviewer) asked us questons such as : if I have ever arrested, convicted, our home phone number, address, where we met, what kind of ceremony we had and what we do together on weekends and etc. As she was going through our application and supporting documents, I was very nervous about what would come next. But she gave me a stamp in my passport after about several minutes and told us it's been approved!!! We didn't even have to show our pictures! According to her, we were the first couple who got approved at that point, she had a few interviews before us but their FBI name check have been pending. I am sure that most of you know but it seems that if you have the same name as someone who has a criminal record, you might be stuck in the FBI name check. Luckily I am from Japan and my name is a little bit unique.

Anyways, just wanted to share my story with you. Good luck for those of you who are going to interview soon!

Best wishes
