Ok I'm gonna attempt to tell u guys about our interview experience. Our interview was at 11:15 a.m so we got to the building about 10 o clock lol. Didnt want to b late so we got there n just decided to walk around. We then went inside the building about 10:30. We had to go thru security (airport style) n then we went in tha waiting room n gave them our appointment notice n they gave us a number n then we sat down. We waited about an hr before our number was called and all this time we were just sitting there chatting away so we wouldn't b nervous. When the ISO came out n called us n told us to follow her to her office... I think she's of russian background bcuz of her name. She looked soo serious. We couldn't get a smile out of her throughout the entire interview. Ok. Before we sat down she swore us both in. She then asked my wife my full name n date of birth which she answered n then she directed the same question to me. Then she asked my wife how we met n my wife told her our love story (we've known each other since we were kids, grew up in the same community in Jamaica before she moved away). Honestly I can't remember every question she asked us bcuz she asked us every single question there is lol. I was so nervous the whole time. She asked me about my wife's siblings n if her sis had kids n I answered yes n she asked me to tell her all the names n ages of my wifes nieces n nephews that lived in the house. She asked my wife if she had any kids of her own n she said no but I butt in n told her that my wife is preggers. She told us congrats n asked if we had a letter from the doc which we gave to her. She asked my wife about my education n where I worked back home in Jamaica. She then asked me what does my wife do n where she worked n how she got to work in the morning. She asked for our joint docs n we told her that we pay rent n utilities to my wife's sister. We gave her our bank statements tho. She looked at it and asked who bought the dunkin donuts lol. I smiled n answered. She asked about pics n we showed her our wedding album n she looked through allllll the pics n took two. She asked about our wedding n stuff. When she finished asking all her questions she asked me a series of yes/no questions n I answered no to all of them. Then she went and photocopied all our documents. N when she cane back she took my passport n took out the I-94 n started using a pen to write in my passport! I was going crazy! I thought she was writing my deportation notice! When she was finished she printed a letter n gave it to us n said our application was being held for further review. I died right there. I was.........lost. btw the interview lasted about 45 mins!! I barely told her to have a nice day n I got up n left. After the interview we were in Times square n went to eat. It was mayb another 45 mins that I got an updated via an uscis app for my phone (thanks carla) n the message said card production! !!!!!!!! I died again in the restaurant! !! Lol I was soooo happy at that moment I ordered a drink to celebrate! Btw we got home the we got another update. It moved from card production n went back to decision. The msg said that I'm being registered as a permanent resident. Btw she didn't even explain any ROC to us so ill have to check with u guys on that on. Now I'm just sitting here n I'm just elated. I love new york! My new home. My journey is over.
