OUR INTERVIEW
Hi Everyone,
We had our interview yesterday at Federal Plaza. It was so much drama actually getting there because I (petitioner) left my wedding ring at home accidentally. We didn't realize this until we were on the subway. This at at 9:30 a.m. Our appointment was at 10:45 a.m.! So we had to get off the train, take a taxi home, grab my ring and stay in the taxi to Federal Plaza from Harlem. That was not cheap.
Anyway, we got into a long line for security at 10:30. We just knew we were going to be late. We finally got to the necessary office 15 minutes late. Everyone who helped us was really nice about it and they put us at ease. 5 minutes after arriving our IO called us back. She had just finished interviewing a very suspicion looking couple (african american woman in her late 20s and Middle Eastern man in his early or mid 50s) whose appointment was ahead of us, so our lateness did not matter.
Our IO was a black woman who seemed to be in her late 30s early 40s. She was really nice and our interview was more conversational than grilling interrogation. She told my husband that she loved his accent. The interview lasted 10 minutes max. We did not get approved on the spot, which is not surprising because they don't do same day approvals in NYC anymore. We asked how long it will take to hear something and she said that she didn't want to hold on to our case long and we should hear something from them soon.
Overall it was a great interview and my husband and I are confident that he will be approved. However, we are still waiting for notification.
