Feeling annoyed today about being in the Interview Waiver Letter club! I mean the people in the club are very friendly, it's just the waiting that's getting difficult!

Hello, for the K1 who already had their interview, Please can you tell me what documents I would need, I have the interview notice but looks like a general notice? Thank you

[rshree 16]

I took

1. My passport, birth certificate, EAD combo card, marriage certificate and my US driving lic, latest I-94

2. For my husband, took his passport, driving lic, his employment letter (as he had changed jobs), recent pay stubs, his divorce decree & child custody

3. Photo album containing photos from each occasion/time since we met (dated) till that point to show how our relationship had progressed so far.

4. Copies of documents that have both our names &/or address like our car insurance, car title, bank account statements, joint credit cards.

I also went thru I-485 application especially the yes/no questions so that I know what will be asked. We got approved on the same day

Interview is generally simple for K-1 as we have already gone thru interview process before entering USA.

Good Luck for your interview, eeosas.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking your time to respond to this. just a quick question, did they ask you for anything for their personal file, like photocopies of your marriage certificate, photocopies of passport, a new affidavit form as my spouse also recently changed jobs?

Thanks

Actually we sent colour copy of our marriage certificate (not original) with our application. So they asked our original to verify but gave it back to us. Same way, they asked my original birth certificate as well. As soon as we enter the interview room, they asked us to take a oath that whatever we say is true bla bla.. then asked for our identification documents namely passport/driving lic as applicable. then started looking at our file ready on the table. then asked us if we have anything more to submit/add to our file.. then we showed our photos & above documents. The officer quickly went thru our documents & asked us what is what. then he said he shall add them to our file. later went thru our photo album. In fact he was more interested in our photos than documents.

Honestly speaking, my hubby lost his job after/at the time of my K-1 interview. So with my support application, we submitted only his assets/bank stmts... honestly declared in the support documentation that he was unemployed since date XX/XX. Later he got job two months before interview. During interview we submitted his new pay stubs and employer details/documents. but absolutely NO question asked about either his lost job or his new job. No new affidavit of support as well.

Hope this helps!

Regarding "questions" asked during interview:

1. when did I last enter US?

2. when did we marry?

3. I entered on 17th May & got married on 19th May. so he said: oh.. so you planned everything over phone before my POE"..

4. while seeing documents: he commented positively on our vehicle purchase; similarly on our photos..

pretty much casual, cool & joking most of the time!

It was one of the simplest immigration interviews I have ever had!

Good question! And now I am totally confused about where our case is being processed. It says the NBC on the website, but others say it is the local USCIS office. The NBC does not publish processing times for I-485 which made me think they all go to local offices after EAD/AP but I could be making that up.

Since I am now in the Waiting for GC situation with interview waiver, I just sent out application i131 for Advanced Parol cuz I need to visit my family in Christmas and I have no idea how long I need to wait for GC.

Now the problem is that, the application was sent out 2 weeks ago by express mail, which was supposed to be there by the next day. However, until now ( 2 weeks passed) I have not received any NOA in email or mail at all. What's going on there? ???

thank you very much for taking time out reply to my questions...

Soo, I had my interview yesterday! It was really short and lame they didn't ask like anything! Only some basic info from me like name address date of birth etc.. Only asked for a copy of our marriage certificate. They didn't ask anything from my husband, not a single question! Also we didn't need to provide any evidence of our marriage which I was kinda mad about because we had spent a lot of time collecting all the evidence, printing pics, taking copies etc!

But I won't complain, because I was approved!

I wasn't approved on the spot though, the officer said he has to make sure my medical exam is ok because at the time of the interview my medical was older than a year. ( I did it last year in august for my K1), and it was still valid in May when I applied for AOS/EAD/AP so I was kinda freaking out about that if I need to go get a new one because it's not cheap! Also I thought it doesnt really make sense for me to have to get a new one, it was valid when I applied and I can't do anything about it if their processing times are so long that my papers go "old".

But luckily, today morning I got a text that my status had changed to card/document production! I am so happy

By the way, do I have to go update my social security number now after the green card? Because the one I have now just says that its valid for work only.

Yes. When you receive your green card go to your local SSA office and they mail you a new one without that text.

Ok cool!! Thanks, jxn!
