Sorry I forgot my password for Hleris so I created this new account.

We arrived and it was pretty crowded but this time we were called in on time. The first interview, we had to wait 45 minutes after our scheduled time. The interviewer settled us in his room and escorted our translator out. He said we won't be needing him as I can translate for my wife since we speak the same language. He first asked for the birth certificate for our son. He asked if I had a copy of it and yes I did.

His poker face made my wife uneasy but he asked me the majority of the questions.

1) how many times I have been married?

A) 1 time and she passed away from cancer 3 years ago leaving me with 3 young childrens.

2) Are you not who you stated on the application because I am showing that you once lived in Co and who is this XXXXX?

A) She was an ex-GF that we had a child together. We were never married. I am paying CS for the child.

3) So she divorced you? (He sort of grinned.)

A) I assumed so but we were never married.

4) How did you meet your wife?

A) I saw her pictures on this website xxxx.com.

He turned to my wife and asked her the following questions.

1) How did you meet your husband?

A) I had my pictures on the internet xxxxx.com and he saw and called me.

2) Did you like your husband when you met him and what did you think about him?

A) Yes I did but I was very nervous and shy meeting him the first time. It is natural I guess to be nervous meeting someone you like for the first time.

The interviwer said "OK I have what I needed and you answered the questions that I wanted." and he continues "I will approve your GC after checking something later today."

I thanked him and shook his hand.

Later that night I checked online and the following showed:

Decision

On October 17, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.

thanks for going through the trouble of creating a new account to answer my question

it sounds like they just wanted to ask you about the girl you had a child with.

I'm really glad you are done with this process!! Congratulations

This whole interview took 4 hours. My husband gave the same answers. He called me in. He asked to show him the wedding pics. We didn't invite anyone except one of my friend. he went through the whole album and asked me about the pictures. He was already asked about the pictures to my husband, when he was alone inside. Then he asked us to show our wedding rings.he commented on my ring "I want one like this, its nice" i smiled, He smiled as well......he told me to show my recent bank statement and the recent salary date. he wanted to check, when my husband deposited the money. I showed him and check with my husband" Is this deposited by you" He said "Yes". he started going through the proofs we submitted.Then he said" can you both show me your credit cards and debit cards" I opened my purse in front of him and my husband opened his. We showed him the cards. I was having some extra cards with me ( all stores cards, kohls, macys etc) He noticed and asked my husband" you dont have these card" He Replies "My wife is a shopping person, I don't need these cards".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhh after this long, he told" My supervisor will review the video tape and will make a decision" Gave us a further review letter and told us " Go home and enjoy your lunch. have a good day AND a big smile".

When we came out we noticed the office was following us, all the way to the car. We reached home 2:00pm and 5:45 pm I check my status online and it was showing "Card/document production". YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Finally, finally finally.................what a relief............

KKK123 - OMG your interview is tougher than all of my wife's interviews including K1, first I485 and second i485. I am happy you and your hubby has passed! Our second interview officer was in a good mood I think cause we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. Both of our GC interviews the two different officers have never asked for pictures though we brought them along. This is the Sacramento office. Greenie I wish you luck!

BTW - The letter said there will be camera but we were not under any camera filming or recording during the interview process.

[greenie80 3]

Thank you!! We are staying positive that we will be approved on the spot at our 2nd interview whenever that is.
