Rating:  | Review Topic: Adjustment of Status
I just wanted to review our interview for Adjustment of Status. We had a great experience, it ran very smoohtly.
We started our process on June 24th and on Sept 11th we had our interview. Everything was very quick! Even the interview was quick, and we were approved on the spot! My husband jokes that going through security took longer than the interview itself.
Our interview was scheduled for 1:45pm, last tuesday, Sept 11th.
We tried to arrive early, but traffic and parking in Philly almost made us be late!! We got there right on time. We were nervous because of that.
We were called in for interview less than 5 minutes after we sat down.
The IO was very nice, which made us feel relaxed.
He had us take the oath and proceeded in asking us the basic questions, name, address, etc.
Then he asked me(beneficiary) the yes/no questions. He asked to see our documents, birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport, and right away took my I94. He said he had reviewed our case prior to the interview and everything looked good.
He asked if I was still enrolled in school (I came on an F-1 Visa) and I told him yes. He did say I should check with school because it seemed like I had violated the F-1 rules (I had taken my NOA1 and my advisor terminated my F-1 a few weeks before the interview so I could enroll as resident) but he said that wouldn't be a problem for my AOS.
Then he asked for our joint bank statement (he didn't ask for any other papers - we even offered but he said it wasn't necessary). After that he glanced through our albums, asked if we had met each others families and that was it. We were approved!
He explained how to remove conditions and we left!
Half an hour later I got the email of status update.
