AoS Green Card Interview Experience

[Newuser4453454 79]

Today, we had our interview in the Philly office at 9AM. We got there around 8:15 because we don't really know how to properly time things. Got in, they took my husband's interview letter, his passport, and my passport and sent us through the metal detector (Full airport, shoes off).

We were sent to the 2nd floor where we were told to sit in front of door number 1 and wait. Our interview time came and went and we were getting antsy because a full hour went by before we were called in. We had a bearded man for our interview who casually told us what happened and why we had to wait so long,. I offered him my binder, and he said he'd take a look and actually gave me back a letter that Steve had written to me that was in our K-1 application. 

We just had a normal conversation with him, and he asked us the date of our marriage twice through it which we answered the same both times. We told him some silly stories about our relationship and at the end he said that he was putting the case through for Approval and that we'd get the green card in the mail in around 2 weeks.

So yay!

 

That was honestly the easiest part; I've heard horror stories about Philly, but it went fine!

Congrats!  Btw, getting there 45 minutes early is not a bad thing, there was a recent thread where a couple ended up being 15 minutes late due to traffic to their local office and they now have to reschedule their interview.
