We had our interview in Indy today and were approved!!!
We arrived at 12;15 for our 12:30 interview. Parking was right out front and was $5. We went up to the 4th floor and gave the lady at the window our appointment letter. She told us to sit and wait. We waited until 12:35 and then we were called in. The officer was officer Bonk and she brought us back to her office. She swore us in and then we sat down. She took our IDs and my passport.
Then she asked me a whole load of basic questions such as my full name, address, dob, ssn then a whole load of the "no" questions. She asked me had I ever been on A J1. I said I had and she looked kind of shocked but I said I wasn't subject to the 2 year rule and I showed her the visa in my passport. She told me I was on the ball!!!! She then asked if I had the I94 from when I last entered in 2005 and did I enter on a H1B. I said no I entered on an F1 and that I had the I94. I also had the I94 that I got with the approval notice from my H1B.
After that she asked my husband basic questions. Like a typical man he got our wedding anniversary wrong but she just laughed!!! Then she asked us did we have children together. We told her 2 and that I had their birth certificates. She asked us where we got married!!!
Then she asked to see the birth certificates and any documents we wanted to give her. I gave her all our stuff, the 2 birth certificates, car insurance cards and bill, joint bank account statements, car title and registration and health insurance cards. She just looked at the big pile I handed her and looked immediately back at me and asked did I have copies without even looking at anything. She took the copies and filed them.
She then told us that we were the first people she was approving today and that that was really straight forward. She said I would get a 10 year green card because we had been married for over 2 years and that I could apply for citizenship in 3 years. I should have my card in a month!!!
She said congratulations and then she joked "I hope you aren't committing marriage fraud". I joked back and said that I doubt it with 2 kids aged 2 and under!!!
She walked us out of the office and said she wished all cases were as straightforward as ours and that everyone was as organized but when its easy, its easy!!!! We were back at our car at 12:55.
