AOS Interview

[NingNing 0]

We are having our AOS interview on the 27th of April. (That was really fast!) What should we expect? What questions do they usually ask? What should we bring?

Thanks!

WOW that WAS fast! Can't really answer your question but just thought I would say good luck and congrats on your speedy journey!

I know it was really fast! We were so surprised. My husband did not even have his biometrics yet. It took them only 1 month to schedule our interview. Not sure if that's good or bad though... Thanks.

That is great! I thought you lived in Texas for D.O.R.A. and were able to get the interview in just a few months but looks like CA isn't a bad place to be either!!

Congrats!!!!

Congratulations on getting the interview and here's good karma for you, I hope!

If you want to know what sorts of questions might be asked, there are a few ways to check:

1) Look through other people's experiences for interviews in this forum. In many cases they describe questions they've received.

2) See the handy example questions posted here on VJ.

3) Ask other people with approved AOSes at your district office. Click on the name of your district office (IE: San Diego) to see others from there.

Usually, there are a few questions that tend to be very common if not universal.

1) How did you and your spouse meet?

2) When did you and your spouse meet?

3) When/where were you married?

4) Your date of birth, spouse's date of birth.

5) The "yes/no" questions from the AOS form. (IE: are you a terrorist?)

6) Often: where does the USC work/what do they do for a living.

7) Often: ask for an updated/new I-864 (esp. if AOS was submitted >1 year ago) or 2005 tax returns.

8) Often: Has spouse met your family/vice versa.

9) Often: To see wedding pictures, identify people in them.

These are pretty common ones. There are sometimes less common questions about your life, job, house, etc. to confirm you're in a relationship together. If a spouse is divorced, perhaps questions about the ex (IE: can you name them; did spouse and ex have kids, etc).

Rab, glad you found use for it. Couldn't do it without people sharing their experiences though.
