Did anyone who was interviewed get asked WHERE their spouse was? Did any of you have them with you in the UK or were they stateside?

I haven’t had my interview yet but I am applying with my spouse in the UK with me. We have been living here for 4 years but she intends to restablish domicile.

I met my US citizen husband in London, where we both lived at the time. He has lived in the UK for long time so our entire relationship has been in the UK. Now we have to move to the US with his job. He did not come with me to the interview (due to covid restrictions) and I was asked how I met him and where we were both living at the time. In my uploaded documents, I had provided our lease agreements, house purchase documents, joint bills, etc as we have lived together for nearly 10 years.

Were these documents uploaded at the I-130 stage or NVC stage? I uploaded these too but at I-130 stage

I think they were at the I-130 stage alright - God it all seems like a million years ago now I am struggling to remember : ) But yes, I think it was at the beginning, to prove our relationship was legit to be able to progress with the process.

Just wanted to update, currently in the air on the way to Arizona. Homeland were fine about me flying but the check in guy wanted my marriage cert and wife’s passport. Homeland didn’t ask but they did. I took all my papers with me thankfully. Just a heads up for anyone traveling you may want to carry them with you
