Hi Guys!
Just wanted to let you know that we had the AOS interview this morning.
So it was in Newark NJ, Broad street federal building.
The appointment was at 8.45am we got there at 8.30. We had to go through security and it took at least 15 mins but the guys were very nice. They took my tweezers though  so don't bring anything like tweezers or clippers etc.
We checked in at the 14th floor at 9am, we had to wait for 2 hours as it was freezing. They finally called my name, we got in the office with the immigration Officer Mr Rodriguez.
He first asked for IDs, then a proof that we were living in Jersey City, I didn't bring any lease or utility bills as I thought that both our names should be on the bills (only my husbands name is on the bills but we have a joint account). Also we forgot to file out the G-325A form for my husband, I thought that it was only for me, so he told us to go back to the waiting area and then came back (after verifying that we were really living in JC) with the form for us to file out.
Then we started the real interview after this huge waste of time. At first he appeared very difficult and not nice but then he was the total opposite.
He first asked my husband: "How did you meet your wife? When? Was she married before? Does she have any kids from a previous marriage?"
Then he asked me: "was your husband married before? Any kids?" Then he asked the questions that are on the I-485 form such as "did you participate in any crime blablabla..." So you just have to say no.
He asked if I had any additional paper to give him, I gave him a copy of my EAD and showed him my job offer letter. He was impressed that I got a job that fast.
And then he said it was approved 
He was very nice and fast.
Later in the afternoon I got an update on my case saying that my green card was on "production" and then another one saying that they mailed the notice.
A little advice, always look at your partner when he/she talks
Hope this helps, good luck to everyone else!
So happy to be done. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
