Rating:  | Review Topic: Adjustment of Status
We had our interview at 8:45am. We drove for 4 hours during the middle of the night from North Alabama to Atlanta, and we were both pretty tired by the time we got to the office. We got there an hour early but checked in around 8:00am and waited for about 20 minutes to be called in. There were maybe 5 other couples there, 2 before us, but we got called in before them. Not sure why.
Our IO was a very quiet, meek-looking man probably in his late 30s. Had a shy demeanor, but was nice. Just seemed like someone who would sit awkwardly in a group of people, and probably just goes to work and goes home everyday. He said good morning and lead us back to the office, we took our oath, then sat down.
He confirmed all the applications we sent in and then casually asked about our addresses, birth dates etc. Then he asked more questions pertaining to how we met, when did we decide to get married, what we did up in Canada when my wife came to visit and if we had spent time with each other's family or friends.
He asked me if I had any more documents to show him other than the ones I sent in with our application. I showed him my accordion file, 3-ring binder full of copies and my photo album. He looked through everything and just confirmed small pieces of information throughout. He asked if we had our phones with us or had any more photos of us together. I explained to him the conditions of my disorder and that it's more of a trigger for me to be in photographs and he complied. I had provided like 30 photos but they were all selfies of us together and some of them I would be hiding my face; or pictures of my wife with my friends. He then asked about our jobs and took some of our IDs, photos, and documents to add to our file. Also asking for docuements regarding my wife's new job, such as an employment letter and paystubs, which we brought.
He then explained that we would get a 2 year green card in the mail and explained ROC. He said we had a lot of stuff and a good case, but that he had to "finish up some computer stuff on his end" and get someone else to finalize everything. He said to expect a decision in 2-3 weeks but that everything looked in order.
We thanked him and left, all in all it probably lasted for 20 minutes.
About 6 days letter we received the text & email notifications that we were approved and that my GC was in production.
Not stressful at all!
