We took our baby along with us, even though on other threads it was advised not. We arrived early (there is no where to wait and there is a detention center nearby, so you can't really go for a walk either). We parked across the street at the Los Angeles Mall. We entered the building and did security then went to the 8th floor to register and were told to walk back around and wait. As we went the security guard asked us a few questions and joked with us about the baby. We waited about twenty minutes before being called in and then we were sworn in immediately. The interviewer said he wasn't going through our file because he had already, but since my husband had a few DUIs made the point that he would have given him a harder time if our daughter wasn't there. He said he has to question if he is fit to be a petitioner. Fair enough. He asked us questions about where we met and our wedding. He only asked to see the birth certificate of our daughter, my husband's driver's license, my birth certificate and our marriage certificate (he was checking the seal to ensure it was authentic). We had brought copies of all our documents and ID. He checked my passport and went through the yes and no questions. He showed us a pile of files that were fraud cases and a bigger pile of denial cases. He said our case was straight forward for him due to the baby. But things he looks for is: 1) change of name, 2) house keys (check if you both have them), 3) marriage certificate, 4) a joint asset such as a bank account or your name on his life insurance is important and 5) your medical to see if you're on your petitioner's. Those are some of the key things they watch out for to see if your case is legitimate in this field office. We were very lucky we were approved within three months. Apparently theybhad. A lot of files and mine was passed to this interviewer who took it on as his case load. My greencard trumps the EAD and travel document application so I'm absolutely thrilled and a lot less stressed now
