My interview was at 7:20Am this morning. We were there about 6:30 and got to be the first people in line. The building is open at 7Am for public.

My interview officer is an old man, he looks kind of scary, I was nervous for a bit when I saw he picked up my package.But not like what I thought he was friendly, soft spoken but very straight to the point. He asked for our ID and made photocopies. It's weird that he explained about ROC for me at first, and he told us few stories about fraud marriage and immigration intention on visitor visa during the interview. Then he went through Yes/No questions on my I-485 and my phone number. He never asked me anything about our relationship or wedding (maybe because we submitted our timeline).

We had a problem with my husband's previous address. Because my husband didn't listed the address's his old pay stubs in G325A form. So the officer was wondering how long my husband lived there and why it's not on the form. My husband explained, and said he has the new paystubs with new address but they are on the car. Anyways, that was it. I got approved on spot. 45 minutes interview but I wasn't asked a question except Yes/No questions on I485.

Great experience at Santa Ana office. Good luck to all AOS applicants. I wish we all get approved.
