Overall a pretty pleasant experience. Interview said to be there at 9:30 in the morning. With COVID they were spreading people out so we prepared to go in at 9:15 and met with our immigration lawyer there. Went through security, checked in at the counter and waited for our number to be called. About an hour later the IO called us back for our interview.
It was pretty straight forward for the most part. She had us swear ourselves in and then began the interview. Our immigration lawyer sat in the back in case we needed him (we didn't). She asked for our state issued ID's and passports (we also gave her copies she could keep). Asked us some basic questions such as the name of your spouse, their birthday, who is this person sitting next to you, etc. Then she went into a few deeper questions like what are the names of your spouse's parents, how many times have you met them, where does your spouse work, for how long, when did you meet, how did you meet, when and where did you get married, etc. Pretty easy stuff for the most part.
The IO then asked if we had supporting documents of our relationship. Things like joint bank accounts, bills, car/home/umbrella/life/health insurance, pictures, and whatever else we had. She didn't really keep that much from what we had brought though. From what I remember she kept a copy of our deed that had both our names on it, title to my wife's car that had both our names on it, and the pictures.
Then she finished off asking my wife a series of yes or no questions from the I-485 to make sure her answers were accurate to what we had submitted a year ago. Again, easy stuff here. Because of my wife getting her EAD earlier this year the IO wrote down the two jobs she's had since she started working (names of the companies, addresses, and positions).
After that we were finished. Of course, like most cases, she couldn't say if we were approved on the spot or not. She gave us a paper saying our case was under further review and we should be hearing from her very soon. Our immigration lawyer said he thinks it went very well and the fact she said we should be hearing from her very soon is a good sign that we will get the green card.
Hoping we get it soon!
