Hello,

I just wanted to share my interview experience.

My husband and I (I am the immigrant) had our appointment today at 1:15pm.

Everything went smooth, the interview lasted an hour because the interviewer really loved to talk, it was more like a conversation than an interview.

He looked more interested in my husband's education (he graduated from and is currently a graduate student at 2 Ivy League Schools, yes I married a brilliant guy!) than our relationship LOL!

He only asked us a few questions: where, when and how we met.

I insisted in showing him the 2 photo albums we brought. He didn't ask for any document except our passports and my birth certificate. That's it!

I was a little worried because we don't have joint bank account, joint car lease or insurance but we got approved on spot!

And I know he was not nicer than others, he showed us a pile of denied folders, there were 10 of them this week!

So my advice would be: just be yourself, if your marriage is bona fide, they will see it.

Good luck to everyone and happy holidays!
