Hi All - so, we had our interview today.  I know a few folks from Chicago asked for more details, so here it is!

 

After going through security, we went upstairs to level 2.  My husband took our daughter to sit and wait while I checked us in.  Our appointment was scheduled for 11am and we arrive to check in at about 10.15.  Once checked in, we took a seat at the far end of the hall, near Door 1.  We got called in at around 11.15.  

 

The immigration officer was pleasant.  After swearing us in, and asking for our ID, he took my photo and finger scans.  He then got out his big file (and I also had my copy of everything we've submitted).  He asked me to confirm my details (name, dob, place of birth, address), and asked my husband the same - at this point he was just going through our paperwork and putting tick marks next to each section he confirmed.  He asked about where I was working, where we got married, how we met.  He asked for our daughter's birth certificate.  When I said it was in the pack we'd sent, and that I had another copy with me, he said he didn't need it, and he found it in his paperwork.  He seemed like he hadn't looking through our pack at all (although this might just be how they present - who knows?!).  He then asked if we had any evidence we'd like to submit.  I offered to pull from the whole pack, or asked if he just wanted new things from after we filed. He asked for that, so I gave him our:

• Mortgage paperwork (we bought a condo in March) and our most recent mortgage statement
• 2017 jointly-filed tax return
• Current homeowners insurance
• Current policy for my engagement ring
• Current car insurance
• Quarterly bank statements for our savings account
• Last 3 months bank statements for checking account
• Last 2 months credit card statements

He didn't look at anything we gave him, just marked it down and put it in the file.

 

I also said I had photos and asked if he wanted to see them.  He said yes.  I brought our who wedding set, and I pulled some from that until he said he had enough wedding ones.  I then gave him some of our us with our daughter (from the one of the three of us as we left hospital onwards).  Again, after I'd pulled 5 or 10 he said he had enough of them (I made sure to include some recent one and some with us and her and our parents).  Lastly I offered him some random photos of me and my husband over the last few years and he took a few.  I then also gave him some of the thank-you cards/ anniversary cards/ invitations to things that we've been sent from friends and family. He looked at quite a few and took a couple.  

 

He then asked if we had any other questions - I asked if he felt that he had enough from us, or if there was anything key he was missing.  He said he felt like he had a good amount.  He then gave us a receipt saying that the case was still under review, and he said that this was normal.  He said that if we don't hear anything in 90 days, then I should get back in contact, but he felt that we should hear much sooner than that.  I also asked if he knew why we'd been brought in for interview - was it a standard 10% audit, or where there any red flags on our case?  He said that he didn't know - he's just told who to interview. He then showed us out.

 

My case status online still shows 'moved to a local office' from back in Feb, but I'm hoping it will get updated to show that I had the interview and (fingers crossed), that I'll be approved soon!

Thank you so much for this summary.  We are June 2017 filers with CSC ID of WAC17277 and are still waiting for approval.  Your comments will be helpful if we need to prepare for an interview.  Thanks again and let us know how long it takes to get approval and the green card in hand.  I hope much less than 90 days!

And that probably means that the WAC# for your I-751 is WAC17289

Thanks for that info

Best of luck for next month!

Guess you missed the whole point of the this particular dialogue.

 

 

Hence the reason I asked what hotel? I find it rather ridiculous for an interview to be scheduled in California for someone living in Florida but I know new things popping up with uscis and because I have never heard of anyone going for interview outside of their local field office so I asked what hotel because they must be playing plane or bus fare plus hotel. It just doesn't seem plausible.

My apologies if you think the frustration was towards you, it's not. I'm just tired of all this wait with USCIS

That’s crazy I’m a Vermont filer too NOA 13 June 2017. We have a lot of evidence and even used a top lawyer that handles all my cases and we still haven’t gotten approved. It’s almost 16 months now.

 

EAC17257

They HAVE do something about your case before Oct 13th.

Nope, all good.  Skin is thicker than you think.

 

This process has us all on edge.  

 

Gotta let it go....it will drain you if you don't.

Another day is gone and we still here... 😔

The difference is between early and late July filings.  They are around 20 days apart.
