Hi Folks, it's been a while since i last posted, i was interviewed this morning at the Baltimore office.

me and my husband woke up at 4:30 AM, left 5:30, went to McDonalds for breakfast and left around 6AM to Baltimore, it's just an hour drive from home and our appointment is at 7:45 AM, we got there exactly 7:05, and fortunately we were not stuck in the traffic as what i've read last night about another member missed their interview because of the traffic. We waited in line since the building opens at 7:30, then the guard told us to get in, we went through those security checks and handed our appt. letter to the guard outside the interview room and he told us to come in...We were the third couple to who arrive but we were called almost last, around 8:45, a black lady called us, i think she's on her 30's, she didn't smile when i told her "good morning" so i thought it wasn't my day and there's probably something wrong..When we got in the room, she told us to raise our right hand and tell the truth, and my 3 yr. old son raise his hand too, after that she took time scanning all of the paparworks and ask us a few questions:

She asked me: What's your address?

Asked my husband: What's your wifes birthdate?

Asked mu husband : Your son's birthdate is???

Asked us: Do you have supporting evidence of your relationship???bills?bank accounts?

So i handed her our car insurance bills, health insurance bills, letters from the IRS with all both of our names.

Asked us: Do you have your 2005 ITR?

So i handed her our joint income tax for 2005

and still scanning my papers for 5 mins. so we waited....my heart was beating faster coz i know she's going to judge us that moment.

Then she told us, "OK, your papers looks pretty good!, you're fine! You're gonna recieve a letter within 30 days and as soon as you recieve that letter, you should go back here for the stamp.."

We asked her if we could get the actual card when we come back for the stamp and she said No, she said it could take 6-8 motnhs for the card and the stamp is just temporary... she removed me and my son's I-94 and told us "Have a nice day"...

I don't know if we're approved or not but i was happy it went well...

Thanks for all the VJ'ers, it wouldn't be successful without this helpfull site..

Hope to get my 10 year GC... in the mail.. :P:dancing:
