The Interviewer was a young man in his thirties very courteous. Scheduled to begin at 12.15pm, it is around 12.45pm that the IO came out and called our names, we followed him in his office where the interview took less than ten minutes.
We were asked only 3 questions after going through our file. The 3 three questions were:
1. He asked How met
2. He asked me if besides my 2 children I have any other children any where in the world, I answered saying no other except the 12 week old baby we are pregnant with, he then smile and asked when was the due date we told him and he wrote it down...
3. He asked if we have any other documents we would like to add to our file, we gave our 2014 tax return and W2s, wedding pictures, utility bill, insurance policies, bank statements, Credit Cards, Foster Parents certification, rental agreement addendum with my name on it. We had more to give but he said it was enough and kept three of our wedding pictures.
Then he said: "You file has no red flags, I'm going to approve you today and you will receive your GC from now to 2 or 3 weeks...." He also explained the process of naturalization as well as the AOS of my son....
Less than 30 minutes after we left his office we received a message about the update on our case status saying: "Card/Document Production, On April 27, 2015, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
After about and hour, we received another message saying: "On April 27, 2015, we registered your permanent resident status and mailed you a Welcome Notice for Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXX. Please follow the instructions in the notice"
It has been a very unique journey, thank all of you for sharing your experiences from which we learn so much...
We are now waiting for our Welcome letter and GC......
