Thank you! I hope it will continue that way and for the others too. Yes I’m in the San Jose office, that’s where I had my bio appointment. I was checking that too and I’m not too sure if it’s accurate.

Questions at Interview

During the interview, it is rare that you will be separated and questioned about your marriage independently. Although, rare, the USCIS may use their discretion, and we want to prepare you for the worst case scenario. The USCIS officer may inquire into virtually all aspects of your relationship, including:

· What is your spouse’s birth date, place of birth, names of parents

· Where spouse lived and worked when you first met

· When, where and how you first met

· Where you went on your first date

· Where marriage proposal was made; who proposed

· Who bought wedding rings and where

· Number of people at wedding

· Where reception was held

· Where parties went after the wedding ceremony

· When did you first have sexual relations; when was the last time

· When was the last overnight trip together

· What was the last movie or television program you saw together

· Where and how did you spend holidays

· What gifts did you exchange for various occasions

· What time to you both go to sleep last night

· What did you both wear to bed

· What did you eat for breakfast that morning

· What was your morning routine

· How may keys do you need to go from the street into your apartment

· How may phones are in the home and where are they located

· Cell phone numbers of each other

· Whose voice is on the answering machine

· How many television sets are in the home and where

· Are there DVD or VCR’s attached to the televisions

· What is covering the living room or bedroom floor; color of rug

· How many bathrooms; whether you have a shower or shower/tub, shower curtain or door

· Draw diagram of your apartment

· Where you do your laundry, grocery shop

· Work schedules of each other

These are just some examples of the level of detail the USCIS officer may require from you both. It is impossible to predict the exact questions that each officer will require, but you should be prepared to answer to this degree of difficulty.

NOTES:

1. Submit COPIES of all documents to USCIS, not originals

Bring the originals with you to the interview: USCIS has a right to see them

1. Any document in a foreign language must be translated into English.

The marriage-based green card process can be confusion, burdensome and intimidating. It would be in your best interest to consult with a qualified immigration attorney about the process. There are many areas in which it is easy to make fatal errors. This is a critical point in your lives, and you don't want to jeopardize your new life together.

I need to check my status 3 times a day now! Just like taking my medicine Lol

Yes, the status of each case can change at any time. Remember, each case is different from state to state and city to city. Applicants get approved in short notice and some have to wait for longer period of time. Why I have no idea, but it happens.

Guys!! I summited an expedite request and my EAD is now being created!!!

 

Hopefully everything continues moving along to everyone!!!
