My AOS appointment was for 4th March 2014 @ 10.30am. Me and my husband arrived around 9.50am but actually had to queue outside for around 20 minutes as the office was closed the day before due to poor weather and appointments were turning up from the previous day and being turned away!
Once in we went through the security check point and sat in the appointment room waiting for my Immigration Attorney to arrive, which he did at 10.20am. I then placed my appointment letter in the slot and was called at exactly 10.30am.
My Immigration Officer was Officer Drake. She was not over friendly but was not rude or intimidating. Once we had sworn on oath we sat down and Officer Drake opened my file and asked for my EAD and Passport, and also my birth certificate, our marriage certificate, My new SS Card and my husbands proof of citizenship. She asked me and my husband to confirm the following:
Our Names
Our address
Our dates of Birth
What country I was from
If we have any children
If we have ever been married and divorced
What date we got married
Where we got married
Officer Drake then asked how we met and got together. After a brief description she asked what dates I had flown to America to visit my husband and for how long each visit was for.
Officer Drake then asked me a few standard questions like if I had ever broken the law, smuggled drugs, been a terrorist etc.
Officer Drake then asked if I had additional paperwork I would like her to see and I said Yes. I handed her our jointly filed taxes, our joint bank account, Joint lease, Joint utility bills, Joint credit card, a letter showing I was my husbands beneficiary and a letter from my step children's school confirming I am registered as their step-mother and emergency contact. Officer Drake wrote all these documents down, handed back my passport and EAD card and turned to her computer screen. She printed off a sheet of paper and said "I have approved your green card application, it will be with you in no more than two weeks". The sheet of paper she handed me was confirmation of my green card approval.
The whole interview was harmless took no more than 5 minutes!!!!
