Hello everyone,

So we went to our interview today in San Bernardino, California. I am adjusting my status through my wifey who is a USC. I came in 2000 on a tourist visa and overstayed (I was a little kid back then).

We entered the suite, and the security guard asked for our letter. We gave it to him, along with my foreign passport, and my wife's driver's license. Both guards were really nice.

Our appointment was at 7:50 A.M., but we got there around 7:30 A.M. Two other couples were already there. Those two couples went in first, and my wife and I were called around 8:30 A.M.

I believe the officer was from the Philippines, she was very nice. There was another blonde lady who was also an officer who seemed really nice. We walked into her office, and she asked us the following questions.

To my wife:

Name

DOB

Phone No.

Address

How long we knew each other

How we met

Why did we need a joint sponsor

To me:

Name

DOB

Phone No.

Address

When and where did I enter the country (she asked me this twice)

Was I inspected by an officer upon arrival

Then she asked all the twenty something questions on the paperwork (i.e. Am I a communist, etc.) she even laughed when she was asking me if I had ever murdered someone (or something like that).

To both of us:

Where the wedding was held

Where the reception was held

Who attended our wedding

Any kids?

Proof of marriage:

She took copies of our phone bills, bank statements, pink slip of our cars (both of our names on them). Then she took a couple of pictures from our albums, and pointed to one of our pics of my wife and her father dancing at the wedding. She asked us who he is and I answered "my father in law." Then she took a couple more photos and left to make copies.

About 5 minutes later she came back and returned to us our ID's, kept my EAD and I94. She then proceeded to fill out a Notice to Conditional Permanent Resident Alien, and said she had decided to approve us. She explained to me that 90 days before the second anniversary of my approval I had to apply to remove the conditions on my status. We thanked her, said goodbye, and left.

The entire interview must have taken between 15 and 20 minutes. The entire process took about 2 months and a half.

We'd like to thank everyone who helped us here. We really appreciate it! Now my wife and I can finally begin our plans to travel to Ireland!!! (and Peru!)

P.S.: Does anyone know how I can change my profile section of "Filed for" from AOS (pending) to approved???
