new york interview experience

[yygo 0]

Our interview was scheduled for 1:15pm, we were there around 12:15pm and get into the building around 12:30pm, wait in the room for about 55 min and got called in at 1:25pm.

After we went into a small office, the officer asked us to be sworned in. And then the interview began:

the questions to my wife(she is the US citizen):

- when did you meet the first time? where?

- When did you start date?

- When did you get married, where?

- what is your current address?

- Did you buy your house before you get married?

- Do you bring the original marriage certificate and the birth certificate

the questions to me:

- show me your passport

- the yes/no questions from the I-485 application form.

- Do you have the origianl docs, such as, joint account, insurence, utility bill, mortgage...

(give the officer the original and copy, she kept the copy).

The officer then asked for the photos and asked about the people in the photos, I gave her more details about some pictures. The officer kept 2 pictures.

At the end of the interview, the officer said she is fine with my case but since the security check still in process, I have to wait until that get cleared. I didn't get any stamp on my passport.

The whole interview only last about 15 min and it is painless. I am a little bit nervous since I didn't get approval like other people did.

I got the I-130 case approved this morning but no touch for my I-485 case.

Does anyone have a similiar situation like this before? thanks.

Sounds like you are still waiting FBI namecheck to be cleared... this can take anything from a few weeks to a year or more... once that has cleared you will get your approval...

Good Luck

Right on.

Yygo, good luck with the name check - hopefully it'll be done in as little time as possible. And congrats on your overall approval!

The same situation happened to me, i just got a "verbal" approval at the end of the interview and thats it. Afterwards, I received the I-130 approval but since my interview 3 months ago I havent heard anything about the greencard issue at all....
