Had our interview today in San Francisco and all went smoothly. They didn't even ask for my 3rd year taxes, he took a few pics for our file, a printout of regular income from one of my clients(self employed), and the phone bill which was the only bill I had showing both our names. He asked us each to give each other's birth dates, and my husband which address he lived at and read our home number and asked what number that was. That was it. He was very nice and said the green card would arrive in 2 weeks. Ironically the EAD was approved last week and it was in the mail when we got home from the interview. He advised us not to use the EAD card as we now have green card status and it would mess up our paperwork. We have been very lucky with this process. All went smoothly, quickley and no RFE's. Glad it's done, and all the best to those still waiting.

Yes, Oakalnd city hall. Did you have the same man marrying you? He was really funny. Oh, make sure you don't bring a cell phone with a camera to the interview. They will charge you $3.00 to hold it. We didn't, but others did.

Thank you for the advice! We were married by a woman. She was very nice. We enjoyed the ceremony!
