Our appointment was at 7:15am. We arrived at 7:00am. There was a pretty big line in front of the building. When our turn arrived to enter the building, we passed security, showed our ID and appointment letter.
On the 2nd floor, we gave our appointment letter and sat down. About 30 mins later, they called my name.
The interview was smooth. The IO checked the infos on the AOS form.
- Asked for our ID and sworn oath.
- Asked for my husband birth certificate and marriage certificate. Reviewed them and asked for a copy of each.
- Checked that i had my medical exam results
- Are you renting? Can i see your lease? Who is on the lease?
- Asked for the phone bill.
- Asked what was the last time i left the country and looked for the stamp on the passport, asked for a copy. Purpose of the trip.
- How many cars do you have? Asked for a copy of the insurance policy.
- Who do you bank with? Joint accounts? Bank statements?
- Ask for my EAD and a copy.
- Asked my husband about his job. His parents. How long has he been in California.
- Asked about my parents and siblings.
- Asked about my profession. Where and when i graduated. When I started to work in the US. Who is my current employer. Where are they based. In my case they are based in another state, so where do you work (from home). How often do you have to travel there. When is your next trip due.
- How we met. Who proposed. Where. When.
- Where did you get married? Who was present? Held a ceremony? Pictures? Honeymoon?
- At the end, asked if there's any other documents we want to submit: our savings account statements, our credit card bill, our pay-stubs, our W2 for 2016, my husband's 2015 W-2, 2015 tax return, gas and electric bills, internet bill.
He took everything except all the pictures I brought. I am sure I forgot some of the questions he asked as it went really fast. But it was easy enough. He was cold and bearly looked at us, but nice enough to make the whole process painless.
At the end, he turned to his computer. Printed a paper and congratulations. We were approved on spot. He explained the 2 years limitations, made a copy of the paper and handed it to me saying that he'll see me in 3 years for the citizenship application. We were out at 9:00am.
