Hi guys,

Quick update on my interview (AOS) at Nashville.

I had my interview on 11/13/2018. Our appointment time was at 8 am but we arrived early around at 7.30 am. We went through the security check-up. Need to show your ID and appointment letter. Got a token number like thing after security checkup. we were called in (20 min late than our appointment time). The person who  took our interview was the same person who called us in. Interviewer welcome us politely, asked how was our journey till here in the morning and always had a smiling face. As soon as we get in the office, interviewer ask to stand behind the chair and finish the oath thing. After that she ask to look into webcam like camera for biometric  and also did the both hand index finger scanning. Then she asked for both of our passports (my wife's passport was expired, USC), birth certificate and marriage certificate. Then she asked me my (beneficiary) full name, date of birth, country, date of marriage (she joked here 'million dollar question'), my wife name, her date of birth and finally verifying my signature on the application? If I am still  working at the same place as mentioned in the form? then she went the questions (yes/no) in the form about trafficking, terror activities, weapons, etc. Then she asked how we met, my wife answered most of the following questions (not directed particular to anyone but my wife volunteer for the questions). who pursued who? when friendship turn romantic? since when we are living together? how long you stayed together before you decide to get married?  any previous marriages, kids? who attended the wedding? why not big wedding (we just had court ceremony, we explained we are saving money for big wedding and travelling) ? then she asked if we got any financial mingling documents (we provide her bank statements, credit card copies) ? Any other copies you want to show me (I gave her bunch of copies of our bills, electric, internet, phone) ? Then we mentioned about the pictures too, she said she don't have to see any but few if we would like to show her.

She said everything looks good and she will run something and will let us know about her decision within 3-4 weeks. She walk us through till the exit. We spend 15-20 mins inside her office.

 

She was very polite and friendly. Every staff member we encountered were all nice and respectful. I would like to leave review about the center but the center option is not there in the drop down menu.

Good luck.

11/17/2018--- receipt received and interview is scheduled on 12/18/2018 at Santa Ana, CA office

Anyone knows if my wife and I are allowed to bring our 3 months old baby? not to prove the relationship because we can do that with birth certificate but just because no one around to keep our baby with during that time.

Yes, baby is allowed to attend. Hopefully, the baby won't be disruptive during the interview.

We brought our baby to the interview (~20 months old so technically a toddler, not a baby anymore). He was behaving really well at first, but when we were finally called inside after an hour wait, he (naturally) started to get antsy and refused to being held or sit still, insisted on walking around the room grabbing whatever he could grab. Looking back it's actually pretty funny, but we were pretty stressed that he'd upset the officer. At one point he ran towards the officer's desk while she was interviewing my wife and started to crawl underneath it. Luckily she's really nice and even joke around with us about it. 

 

Three month-old baby should be relatively much safer to bring along. If you managed to time it well you can even match the interview time with the baby's feeding schedule and hopefully he'll just sleep through the whole thing.
