Our interview was scheduled at 1:15pm. We both took one day off and left our house at 11:30am. There is a parking lot cross the street. So if you are not lucky to find a street parking, you can park there. The price is not cheap though. $7 for 2 hours, we paid $20 for 3.5 hours, 6 is for tips. The guy is very good at doing his business. :)

The interview place is on 2nd floor. We arrived at 12:40PM and started to wait..

wait..

wait..

Finally, an IO called my name at 2:35PM. We said hi and he had no response. We entered into his room and took the oath. I asked whether I should closed the door.. he seemed unhappy with my words. OK.. i am off topic a little bit.

Review our original birth certificate, banking statements, photos one by one and asked who they are. He picked 2 pictures, one is me with his family, the other is we with our friends. He then asked very basic questions, like my husband's birthday, where he provide military service? what his job? does he have kids? Any plan for today? what else do you like him? very basic questions. He asked my husband such as, the school i last went to, what do my parents do, where did we have family together (I only know the town's name, but he wants the exact place we stay..) and then we talked about our life and we went to bar, i drank 7 shots.. he was suprised and kept asking me, are you Chinese? Do you really from China?... Then he said I approve you guys.. And then he printed a letter to me and asked we stayed outside for a while, because he needed to put a stamp on my passport. We just left our new evidence such as company benifits including life insurance and health insurance, new banking statements. I forgot to give him our 2012 tax report.. but I think it is OK.

We were so happy! In the car, my husband told me he saw a russian girl was crying to leave the office.. He didn't tell me because he knew I was very nervous.. Bless her. Bless everyone.
