I attended my green card interview in Portland, Oregon today. The interview was fairly easy and our IO just asked few basic questions such as how did we meet and why are we living apart. She informed me that after reviewing our documents once more, she will recommend for approval. About half an hour after the interview, my case online was updated to card document production. I was really worried about the interview as my wife and I live in different states. Additionally, our cultural background is completely different. My wife is white and I am Indian. However, all these factors turned out to be no issue at all. I think USCIS could see that my marriage was genuine. If your relationship is real, you have nothing to worry about. I submitted following evidence,

- Over 100 pages of Facebook messages that my wife and I sent each other over years. I also included skype, email and telephone records

- Joint tax return and bank statements

- Health and life insurance

- Joint car loan

- Around 200 pictures of our wedding and other occasions

- All the air trips that we made to see each other

- My wife’s medical bills paid by me

- My wife’s college transcripts showing she is attending school

- Joint lease

Our IO was really nice and friendly.

Wow...congratulations that is very good news! I understand how you were worried, living completely apart, being from very different culture...but hey, things worked out awesome! Awesome! Again, congratulations!!! :)

@Greentrain: sounds to me they did not have any red flag but easily passed the interview...
