Interview Date: October 14, 2009, 1:15 pm
We arrived at the interview office at exactly 1:15 because we had a hard time looking for a parking space. It took us 5 mins to finish the security check and was able to put my interview appointment in the tray at 120pm. Though we're late, we were called at 145 pm. There were a few couples and families at the waiting area at that time.
Our IO was very nice and friendly, made us feel at ease during the interview. We sat down but he asked us to stand again to swear to tell the truth 
We were asked for IDs so we gave my husband's driver's license and I gave our passports as well. He also asked for the AP and EAD cards. He then continued by asking the yes/no questions in the application form. He was asking if I have my husband's G325A because he said he didn't have it. I said I don't have a copy. We submitted it during the petition application.
The documents he asked were:
1. marriage certificate - i gave him a copy after showing the original
2. divorce agreement
3. proof of living together - we gave our health insurance copies, sea world membership, phone bills (with just our numbers and explained that it didn't have my name on it), invoices of items ordered by me and my husband online (since we don't have bills with any of my name on it)
4. photos
5. bound scrapbook from our trips prior to getting married (he liked it a lot; he said he hasn't seen something like it before)
Questions he asked:
1. how did we meet?
2. when did we first meet?
3. how many times we've seen each other before the marriage?
4. was it my first marriage and asked my husband the same?
5. he also asked what my job was before and where do i plan to work here?
6. where my husband works? he asked him, not me
He then said that he'll check with his supervisor if it'll be ok that my husband didn't have his G325A. He said everything seems ok, though.
After a few minutes, he came back and explained to us about the conditional status and filled out the approval form  and asked us to sign. We thanked him and shook his hand afterwards.
Finally, it's over (at least for two years) It was a pleasant experience not only because the IO was nice but we made sure that we have all the necessary documents. And I got all the tips from reading all the interview experience of everyone here at VJ. So, thanks a lot to all of you. It helped me cover all the bases (except for the G325A of my husband hehehe, never read anything like that here)
