It seems like they asked my husband all of those;there were a lot lol. We didn’t say sir or ma’am. It was just casual conversation

Hey guys

 

had my interview today, was verbally approved at the end of the interview. The IO said her computer was down so will put it through tomorrow, was not given the 120 day decision letter.

 

It felt more like a chat rather than an interview, Interview was scheduled for 2pm, we was called in around 230 and was out by 250.

 

we was sworn in, and ask for Driving Licenses and Passports for both of us.

 

The IO asked my wife the USC, our address, my full name and date of birth.

 

She then asked me the same about my wife.

 

She asked If we had any more evidence to give

- mortgage letter

- car insurance shows both or names

- blank check from joint account 

- a 2016 and a December 2017 joint bank statement 

- our joint phone bill

 

she kept all the above but also I took our joint credit cards which show the same number

 

we still live with the in laws which we explained cos we were saving money and she totally understood. 

 

Then we we spoke about how we met, when, who proposed, how proposed, where proposed, what’s our future plans.

 

also asked if my wife had met my parents in UK, she hasn’t except by Skype, due to my mom can’t fly and I can’t leave the country, we explained that we plan on going home in the summer.

 

The IO went through a scrapbook I’d done, and our photos, she loved the photos of our dog and asked for 5/6 for our folder.

 

Went through some of the Yes/No questions, she was laughing at some of them and what she had to ask.

 

After that she said I am approving you today, and she will put it through either tonight or tomorrow.

 

I am patiently waiting for the text/ email update from USCIS

 

I will answer any questions if you have them

Folks,

 

My wife and I had our interview Tuesday 01/30 at the Baltimore field office. Our interview was scheduled for 4pm but we didn't see the field officer until 5pm.  After a relatively short interview we were given the 120 day decision letter with no verbal decision. Confused as I sat there i asked if she was going to give us a verbal decision,  she goes "i have no reason to deny you". Fast forward, last night my wife received "card is being produced" email and text notifications. YAYY!

 

 

 

I have provided a quick run down of the interview questions and procedure below. Not the best so please feel free to asked any questions that would be helpful to you.

 

 

 

We were sworn in, asked for ID's and my wife standard questions from the I485 form, she then asked her about me(Full name, DOB, where i was born, profession. etc.), went through standard YES/NO questions and that was it. Turned to me, asked to confirmed name, DOB and address.

 

She asked about supporting/additional documents. We gave her Bank statements, credit cards, pictures, wedding guest list and Insurance documents(Health, Dental, Vision and Auto). She look through the pictures asked a few questions and gave them back. Asking if we would like to give her a few for our file. she said it wasn't mandatory so we took all back. 

 

We gave her the I693  last minute after she forgot to ask for it. 

 

 

 

 

06/19/2017 - Mailed I-130 (G-1145, I-130A) & I-485 (G-1145, G-325A, I-864, I-765, I-131, I-693)

Interview - 31st Jan 2018 Baltimore
GC in Hand - 7th Feb 2018 ( 7 months)

A week after my interview was approved on the day my Conditional Green Card came today.

The GC starts from my file date not my interview approval date.

For people waiting over a year, by the time you get approved you’ll be applying and paying again to remove the conditions 6/9 months later

Hi there. Just when I thought all of the June filers but my wife had received the green cards.

Yes, I am on the same boat and in Los Angeles/CA.

 

Trying to be very patient here but this is getting frustrating.
