Speaking of interviews! Ours is in 3 days! I have to spend the next day or 2 putting stuff together to bring with us! Starting to get nervous even though I don't think we have anything to worry about!

So crazy how fast this was for you :-) Don't forget to tell us details about your interview and best of luck this week!

I keep forgetting to update this because I haven't been receiving my text/email updates from USCIS :/

Anyway, we received the EAD card about a week or so ago =D.

Our interview is on September 4th as well, @kcros. We're going to start gathering up all the paperwork and evidence to bring to the interview. I'm not what they'll specifically ask for. I'll let you guys know how it goes afterwards

I've been working on gathering up all that we need to bring in with us. It's all in random little piles so I need to figure out how I want to organize it to bring it in. I wish the hubby would take a little more interest in the paperwork aspect since you know...it is for his benefit:p

I'm guessing that the EAD will show up in the mail about a week after our appointment lol!

Good luck on your interview! I'll be on later Thursday to give an update!

We received the I-512L (Authorization for Parole) yesterday by mail. It came in paper form, and said "Approved".

EAD should be here in the next couple of days.

Next big thing is the interview is a month. Can't wait to put this process behind us. Good luck everyone

So we were scheduled to have our interview today at the JFK building in Boston at 2pm. We arrived to the building at 1:40 and went through security checks. We checked into the waiting area at 1:45 and were directed to sit there until someone called us. At 2:15, an IO came out and asked that I (US Citizen) come with him and that my husband wait in the waiting room. We went to his office and he was very friendly. He asked me to remain standing and raise my right hand to swear that I was telling the truth. After that he asked me to sit down and he told me that if I had any new documents or evidence that I would like to show him then I could pull it out now.

He pulled out my I-130 and quizzed me on the information on it, putting a red checkmark next to every question I answered correctly.

What is your full name? Previous alias? DOB? SS#, Current husbands name, his DOB, Any kids? Address?

After he was done with the I-130 part of it, he asked me questions about our relationship while he was jotting down the answers. This was a very laid back questioning and just felt like a normal conversation.

How did you two meet?

Who went to meet who?

Who proposed? When? Where?

He asked about my 2 children from my previous marriage...what grades are they in? What sports do they play? How old are they? How do they get to school?

What is our new address?

Who lives with us?

Where does the income come from?

After we were finished talking, he asked me to move over one seat and that he was going to get my husband. He explained to me that he was going to ask my husband the same questions that he asked me and I was to sit there quietly.

He had my husband take an oath, then asked him to sit down next to me. He asked him all of the same questions. All of our answers matched perfectly.

Next came all of the NO questions (pologamy, gun training, prostitution) on the 1-485. After answering no to all of the questions, he said that he was going to approve our case!

We ended up walking out of the building about 2:45 and ten minutes later we received text and email notification that our Card was in production! :joy:

EAD Card sent out today!!

[rscastro 1]

Approved! =D

Interview was pretty straight forward. We didn't have to wait that long to be called in.

Aside from the standard questions that they ask, and standard oath taking, there were no questions that were asked differently. The interview took about 30 minutes, only because we had to explain our 'story' a bit more detail than normal since we're both pretty young and the IO had a decent amount of questions regarding our relationship timeline.

i-485 is now in Decision and I-130 is in Post Decision Activity

[jagonzal17 4]

EAD received yesterday and went to social security office to apply for ssn.

Now still waiting on Interview date.
