We arrived just on time for our interview, security on the ground level checks your interview letter and ID and you go through a metal detector. Then elevator to the 3rd floor. We placed our letter in a basket by a window and then sat down waiting to be called. Only a few minutes went by before we were called by a female IO and led into her office. She instructed us to remain standing in front of our chairs and we swore an oath (true testimony etc.). Then we sat down, she had our file on her desk and started flipping through it. Asked my husband his name, address, birth date, parents names etc. Then asked me the same questions. Asked us for our original birth certificates, marriage license, social security card...and perhaps a couple other things. She reviewed the I-485 paperwork questions and verified some answers on my forms (like POE I had put Chicago but in fact the POE was in Ottawa, Canada with pre-clearance)...verified some other questions (telephone numbers etc.) then had me sign the "changes". Then she asked for relationship evidence, we handed her rental agreement, bank statements, health insurance, car insurance all with both our names on. Also brought about 20 photos from our wedding as well as the past 5 months since I've arrived (Christmas, hikes etc.). She looked at EACH ONE individually. We also brought ALL our Christmas cards we had received from family and friends. Also she looked at EACH envelope. She asked us to select just a few pictures from our pile to place in the application and she went to go make a few photocopies. When she came back she told us we are approved and to expect the Green Card in mail within 2-3 weeks! She also mentioned that our case was pretty straight forward and that we did a great job on all the paperwork! We thanked her, were so happy to be done and left! All in all was an almost stress free experience! So happy to be done with USCIS for 2 years...until Removal of Conditions!
