Interview experience:
We arrived at 11.20 am and we were being called for the interview around 2ish pm.
The officer was nice and friendly.
The interview was not intense at all, it was like a regular conversation.
We got the letter that said our case is being reviewed and the officer said that we will have the green card in the mailbox up to 30 days.
The officer reminded us to put my name on the mailbox for delivery purposes.
