HAD AOS INTERVIEW TODAY!

[AInfante-Saraireh 0]

Well my husband and I went to the interview today and they were running about 10-15 minutes behind time. They made an announcement that there were new consulars and old ones and to be patient. We had a nice officer, asked very few questions as he went through the file. He asked my husband his dob, where he was born, how he met me. Then he asked me when i got married and the date and where. He asked for my husbands birth certificate. Then he would check off in red ink on the applications as he asked these questions. That's all. Then he asked for bank statements or insurance papers and he kept the insurance papers, copy of bills. I asked him if he wanted to keep my bank statements, etc. but he said no, what he had was sufficient. He also said then that he would review and we would hear from him. I asked if he would call or mail. He said, mail. He looked at my husbands passport, didn't take the I94 arrival/departure card and that was it. I don't know what to think.

It sounds good to me (if ambiguous). Did you get any weird feelings? Hopefully, you'll know for sure within a few days. Good luck!

It was definitely an easy interview.

That's exactly how our AOS interview went. Still waiting to hear/receive something.

Overall it sounds good. You would have had a much tougher time if he doubted the validityof the relationship. Maybe they are not finished with securitychecks? They are so darn tight tipped about that.

I wouldn't panic. I think you would know if you were denied.

Very often the CO will need to have their supervisor review the case prior to issuing an approval. This should only take a couple of days. Then you'll receive the correspondence in the mail. It sounds like you should be just fine...

Thanks everyone. I will keep you posted with any news.

Our interview was the same day as yours in Chicago. We had the same cort of experience. We got there, we were seen by a rather large african american man. He asked for Hilarios original BC and our marriage license. Then he verified some of Hilario's info (DOB, when he entered the country, where he was born) and he asked for our reciept showing we paid the fine for Hilario entering illegally (when he was 5!!). Then he said he had everything he needed to make a decision. He said he would notify us by mail. I am so freakin nervous. He didn't ask ANY personal questions, like how we met or anything. I am really up in the air at this point!!

Oh Wow!!! What time was your interview? Ours was 10:59 A.M. We waited like an extra 10-15 minutes, not long at all. Yep, sounds like we got the same guy. The only thing I'm concerned about it, if they were going to approve the interview and issue green card, I thought they pulled the I94 arrival/departure card. Hmmm, guess we jsut have to wait and see. Now the I130 hasn't been approved as of yet when we went for the interview, so don't know if they will continue their investigation or not.

i think pulling or not pulling the i-94 card off doesnt really matter. they took my husbands at the interview and we still are waiting for fbi name checks almost 2 years later. he just got another one when he traveled. so not taking yours probably means nothing.

Maybe you're right. But pulling the I94 card gives you affirmation that you were approved pending FBI name check. I don't have that surety.

We were end up with the same with you guys as well. The officer said we were lack a document which was called "security clearance" and he would mail us the notice... then he asked us to sign the signatures on some forms, explained the green card would be good only in 2 yrs.... then we were done. Now I am preparing to go for the inform pass at 7h15 today. Will update to you guys. I think FBI name check and Security clearance are different, I mean very similar process but different agencies.... They did tell us that if we did not hear any thing from them for 60 days, check back with them later. So I have no idea... Good luck to all VJs!
