Praise the Lord 🙌 The interview went smoothly with the officer at the center. My husband was seated beside me and our lawyer was behind us. There was no separation as such. After asking us to give our oaths, the only questions he asked were below:
1 - He asked to see both of our original birth certificates and passports
2 - He asked for my full name. I had to mention I changed my surname to fit in my husband's surname
3 - His full name
4 - He asked for the full names for my parents and my husband for his
5 - If this was our first marriage
6 - He asked how me met and to describe our relationship
7 - Then the usual immigration questions such as if I am a spy, if I am affiliated with any organizations etc and I answered no to everything
He said he won't approve on the same day but it will take some time.
My advice before going for the interview is, wear socks and shoes that you can easily slip out of (like when plane travel attire), dress nicely and wear masks obviously. Be very elaborate in your responses and be polite as much as possible. Attitude matters. It doesn't matter what kind of officer you get, be patient and relax. The center didn't ask for our vaccine cards and neither did the officer but please take them with you in paper form or via the digital pass on your phone.
We took a lot of documents in clear folders with tax forms, photos etc but he didn't ask for any of them. I guess it depends on what kind of office/officer you get but it's best to be prepared. Since, I got my green card approved, I don't require the EAD or AP and those applications will be moot (I am guessing). Your mileage may vary. I called the USCIS hotline to find out when my interview date was, since the interview receipt notice was late and even the lady on the hotline, it's crazy and lucky how soon I got my GC interview date since, most people have to wait for much longer as much as 12-14 months due to Covid delays. Once again, I owe this blessing and opportunity to God and I am fortunate to get it this soon.
