My wife and I had our DORA interview in Oklahoma City Tuesday, March 6th and were approved.
Our appointment time was 9:45 am. The person at the window who initially looked at our packet said it was missing my birth certificate and photos of me, which I politely argued were not needed. She said it would be up to interviewer, but the interviewer did not ask for them. She also pointed out that I had the wrong NOA. It was the NOA1 for receipt and not the NOA2 for approval of the I-129F, but this was not mentioned by the interviewer.
After checking over our packet they told us to go have lunch and come back at 12:00 for a 12:15 interview. We were called in promptly and the interview took about thirty minutes. The interviewer was fairly serious and down to business, not overly friendly but not rude either. After going over the list of legal questions, she asked how we met and what we liked to do together.
The supporting evidence I submitted was not extensive but was evidently sufficient. Since we did not get a Social Security card before the I-94 expired, we did not have any joint bank accounts, leases, etc. I submitted copies of insurance papers from work showing her as the beneficiary of my health and life insurance. I submitted a copy of an Oklahoma City Zoo membership that has both our names on it. And we brought a small book of photos which included our engagement, wedding, at the zoo and other misc.
She said there was only one thing missing, a G325a for me (the petitioner). I did not argue with her since she let me fill one out while she waited (one page only and no mention of photos). After I filled it out she said we were approved.
She said we would receive an appointment time for biometrics in the mail in two to four weeks, and if the process looked like it would not be completed in 90 days (most likely due to the FBI name check) they would let us know so we could file for EAD or AP.
