yay! We're aproved!! My GC is in production.

We had our appointment in portland, OR yesterday at 2 pm. After a 25 minute wait, a very nice lady officer took us to her office where she took our oaths. She then checked both our passports and took my I-94, and checked my AED card.

She had our file at her desk and she started checking that all my personal info (full name, address, phone #) were ok. She then started asking me some of the I 485 Biographical questions like have i ever been arrested/deported/dealt drugs/belonged to a communist group, and checked the already filled answers on my file. In between these questions she asked my husband when my birthday is, and I think she just caught him so off guard that he froze and took him a few (agonizing) seconds to answer, so you might want to refresh dates like these before your interviews.

She then asked how we met and a brief history of our relationship and how our wedding was. She asked for supporting documents that we live together (we had brought copies and originals of gas bill, our apartment lease, joint account summary, and health insurance policy, she kept the copies). I mentioned I had also brought a photo album and she asked to see the wedding ceremony pics. I explained who people were on the photos.

After that she just said we're aproved and I should get my GC in the mail in a couple of weeks.

So, it really was a breeze and boy are we glad we don't have to deal with any more papers for the next 21 months!!!
