Our interview was scheduled for June 23rd at 8:45am in the Oakland Park, FL office. My husband was so nervous leading up to it, he was making me anxious! But I kept telling him there was nothing to worry about because we had been married and living together for nearly 6 months, plus our filing process had gone perfectly. We both dressed up (he had dress pants and a button up shirt, I wore a dress and flats). We arrived at the office and checked in at 8:40am, I'm glad we didn't come too early because the wait was over an hour anyway (the waiting room started filling up as we waited, a lot of couples had young children with them but only one had a lawyer with them). Once called, our officer greeted us, she was an older woman, and very nice. The first question she asked was what hospital was I born in, which threw me off. I replied and then she informed me that she was also from NJ! She also asked for our cellphones but we left them in the car (advice I received from another website). Anyway she and I got along really well, she asked for our notice and our photo album (that was it!) and proceeded to look through the photos (only about 12 in a small 4x6 album, we don't print out photos in this day and age) and asked a few questions about them, she asked us how we met, her and my husband talked about Jamaica a little bit (what clubs he had been in), she asked him what it was that he liked about me when we met, she asked a few questions from the forms and then the long list of immigration questions and the interview was done! She spent way more time talking to me than my husband and said she thought that we would make it as a couple but if we didn't sh*t happens! She told us we were approved and that the card would arrive in 7-10 business days, she had us sign a form and gave us the instructions for the i751. My husband and I were so shocked at how stress free the process was! The card just arrived today, 9 business days! Hope this was helpful! Good luck to everyone with interviews coming up!
