My interview was yesterday at 7:15am. We live in Seattle so we left our apartment an hour early and pulled into the parking lot around 7. We went through security and then waited in line to be checked in. There were maybe 5 groups of people ahead of us. The woman checked my ID and sent us up to the second floor. We sat on the right side where a bunch of other couples were seated (I had read the left side is for naturalization) and were called in around 20 minutes later. The IO had us sit and then requested drivers licences and passports from us. He took my picture and the fingerprints for both of my index fingers. Then he had us stand and take the oath. He began by directing questions at my husband:
Who is this? What is her full name?
When is her birthday?
Have you met her parents? What are their names? Where do they live?
My husband was very nervous and said my wrong birthday before quickly correcting himself. The IO just joked "come on man you can't get that wrong with her sitting next to you" and he felt more relaxed after this. He then directed the same questions to me. Then he asked both of us to describe how we met. When we would finish he would say "and then what?". We ended up describing maybe 2 or 3 of our visits from before I moved. Then he wanted to know how we decided to get married, when we got engaged, when we got married, whether we had a ceremony and who had attended.
He went through the checklist "have you prostituted" "are you a terrorist" etc. etc. Then asked if there was any evidence we wanted to give him. I gave him the following:
letter from our bank showing we had a joint account
car registration with both our names
car purchase order with both our names
first and last page of our lease
health insurance cards
car insurance cards
life insurance from my work showing my husband as beneficiary
4 pictures from our wedding and ~10 since our wedding
He did not ask for any other information even though I had brought with me updated i-864 forms and a giant file folder with pretty much all my immigration paperwork. Then he told me he would approve my case and I would be getting my greencard in the mail in about 2 weeks. We were out of his office in about 20 minutes. We were back in our car at 8:10. Very painless experience
