Embassy Review : When we arrived there was a group of people inside the door, trying to figure out where they were supposed to go. None spoke a word of English and the Security lady didn't speak Spanish so we had to wait for everything to get interpreted so they could find out they needed to be in another building.
After that we moved on to the male Security officer, an older and grumbly guy who didn't smile and wasn't friendly at all. He even went to talk to someone else while we were tying to get checked in, instructing my husband to sign a register for Visitors. I went to sign it, thinking since I was a visitor as well, but then the security guy stopped talking to the other person off to the side and barked at me that I wasn't supposed to sign it, only my husband. Sheesh. He got up on the wrong side of the bed that day!
We went in and sat for about 15 mins or so as we'd arrived early. We were finally called by our Officer and he escorted us up to his office on an upper floor.
Our officer introduced himself and showed us his badge. We were sworn in and he started out with the I-130 and asked for the documentation regarding the Advanced parole document and the Authorization to work, which we gave him. He also asked for a photo ID for each of us. He asked for our daughter's birth certificate, asked when was she born, asked if she was our only child, of this marriage, if we had any kids from other marriages or had been married before.
He asked how hubby entered the States and when and where, and as what (visitor). He asked if I had ever filed for any other person or adjusted another person. He asked my husband what his parents names were (since he had a short form birth certificate). He asked what I did for a living, and who was the person with whom I was filing jointly and does she live with us. He basically just reviewed stuff we'd already submitted. He asked hubby if he'd ever committed a crime, done dugs, been denied entry etc. -- standard questions like on the forms we filled out.
He then approved our case, took the Employment authorization card and said we wouldn't need it, and he stamped husband's passport. He instructed me about how I need to file more paperwork to lift conditions and show evidence of ongoing valid marriage in one year and nine months, or hubby would be deported.
The officer was pleasant and direct without coming off as mean or unfriendly.
Sorry I haven't written this out in a more articulate way, I'm just not feeling eloquent and organized today.
I hope this information helps.
