Interview experience at Sanjose Local office

[0_0 0]

We had an interview yesterday at Sanjose local office and got approved. This Forum has been so helpful throughout our Green card journey that we wanted to post our experience.

Our appointment was at 12:50 and we were called at around 1:00pm. The officer (Caucasian male) was pleasant and directed us to his office which was way down the corridor. He swore us in and asked for 2 forms of identification. After that he started checking of things in the application and was doing lot of paperwork. He asked us if my husband and me lived together and if he was out of status anytime. Those were the only 2 questions he asked (apart from the general questions from I-485 application like are you invovled in any crime etc ..). I believe he went through our file before and made up his mind to approve the application. We have been married for more than two and half years. We were sitting there looking at him while he was doing all the paperwork. He stepped out of the office twice to get something and finally said he has no problems approving our application. He never asked for any additional proof like Bank Accounts, photos. He took back the EAD card ( he even made us a copy when we said we did not have a copy and that my husband may need it this week as he is applying for jobs). He changed the status to "card production ordered" in front of us and then walked us out to the front lobby. We were out by 1:40pm.
