Had a very successful interview today! We arrived 20 minutes early, but the line was LONG to go through security. I think it's because they were having a huge group of people take the oath. So if you have an interview Tues/Thurs morning, come early! We finally got to the waiting room five minutes after our scheduled time, but since everyone was jammed in the lines, it was fine.

We were called back almost immediately and it was a super easy process! The guy that interviewed us made jokes to make us feel more comfortable and asked us how our morning was going. We made small talk while he went through all our paperwork. He only asked us for our birth certificates, my husbands first document used to enter the country (his I-94), and our drivers licenses. Then he asked if we had any new photos since filing. We had printed out a stack of photos from the last year (first year being married) and he actually looked at every one of them. Some were in California, which is where I'm from, and he asked which beach the picture was at and things like that. So bring plenty of pictures with friends and family or on vacation!!!

He asked for a copy of our lease since we moved since applying. Then he asked my husband a bunch of standard questions about if he's committed a crime, etc. and that was it! No intrusive personal questions at all like we had expected.

He didn't even want our certified marriage certificate (which was $50...) or any other evidence at all. I didn't give him half the things I printed. He said to just wait for our green card to come!

We filed Nov. 19, 2014, so it took us almost one entire year. So sit tight if you filed this year, but it will come!

Biggest pieces of advice: arrive early and bring a variety of photos!

Congratulations! So it seems like we have to wait for a year now. Then i think we decided to go to Vietnam to have our wedding ceremony there is correct. We will leave few days later. Is that ok if you bring all the copies and original both for interview. Since i copied myself our marriage certificate and i think i will bring the original if they want to check

We're so excited! We were expecting to wait much longer especially due to the fact that we're at the Dallas office.

Congratulations to all the approvals and, good luck to all those who have upcoming interviews! :goofy:

Yes, I have contacted USCIS on the phone a couple of times, but all they said is "wait, cause obviously your local office is overwhelmed" Ive heard it's taking 11-12 months in Dallas, now....this is outrageous!

:( I guess the only we can do now is wait, wait and wait. I was about to contact them but after what you said, I don't need to do it now.
