Just had our interview this morning! We were approved on the spot. Our appt was at the Long Island, NY Holtsville office at 10:30am, so we got there at 10am but we weren’t called until around 12pm. The interview went well, we had some laughs with the IO, especially when we talked about how my husband proposed. He told us right away that we’ve submitted enough paperwork for him to review but asked if we had any additional docs. I gave him copies of the docs stated in the interview notice with tabs and all. He asked who’s the organizer and that he was glad everything was in order. We were still a bit nervous but he was very pleasant and made a few jokes and some irrelevant small talk here and there.

 

He asked my husband (petitioner) his full name, dob & where he works. Asked him when we got married and how he planned on popping the question. My husband explained how he proposed and I added a few details from my perspective on the proposal. He asked us how we met and when we met in person (we met online).

 

The IO asked me how I got here, answered that I was on F-1 student visa and I went to law school here. He asked where I worked. He also asked if I was born in the US because for some reason he thought I was. He then went through the usual yes/no questions.

 

He asked us if we had any questions, I asked him about the result and he said we were approved. He explained that we probably will get the notice in the mail in 30-45 days and not to call in and ask about status until after the 45 days is done because they’re very backlogged.

 

Wishing everyone else good luck on their journey! Very thankful for everyone on here because I wouldn’t have felt as prepared as I was if not for this forum!

I'll keep them on. We're going to open an inquiry this week. Hopefully we'll find out how far back we are after moving locations.

For those wondering about rescheduling your AOS interview. Stop reading the horror stories. I had my original interview scheduled for 7th November but we had a pre planned vacation. So rescheduled and sent all the evidence. We received our new date today for April 11th.

But it’ll only be 9 months since i applied so I’m happy with that. Most people wait that long to begin with. But what I meant was that it’s not a problem to reschedule and people shouldn’t be worried.
