Hello guys, It was a really crazy!!! The interview was fast... but looooooooooooong.... They asked me almost everything in Loto's guide... lol.. well not exactly but they insisted a lot in how we met and how many times did he come to see me!!! I say they because there were 2 officers at the same time and then a girl named Blanca took my fingerprints and give me my white slip so i could pick up my passport on the 16th.
I arrived at 7:30 and I left at 9:30, I was the 4th to call for residency interviews, the 3 persons before me got denials!!! First I was called to window 1 and they went through my file, they throw in the trash some of the papers that my husband submitted as affidavit of support, bank letter, deposits and some other stuffs, then they told me to wait, i waited for 2 min and then they called me at window 3 and after that the girl said "there's nothing wrong in your case, go to the P.O. and pick up your passport!
Here are the questions they asked me!
Q) Where and How did you meet?
Q) How long have you known each other?
Q) When and where did you marry ?
Q) Do you have any photos of the ceremony and/or reception?
Q) Where does he work and what position does he hold?
Q) What do you do for living?
Q) Where does he live in the USA?
Q) Do you have any children?
Q) Does he have any children? How many ?
Q) When and where was your husband's prior marriage?
Q) When and where was your husband's prior marriage termination/divorce?
Q) Do you need SSN when you arrive at the U.S ?
Q)Do you know his children?
Q)What evidence of relationship do you have? --> I HAD TONS, I JUST SHOWED THEM A HUGE FOLDER (THAT WAS THE RESUME OF EVERITHING ELSE THAT I HAD IN THE SUITCASE FULL OF EVIDENCE THAT I TOOK)
An hour later after I left the embassy they called me and said that I needed to come back because they needed to take my fingerprints again... So I drove as fast as I could and then waited like 10 minuts until the girl took my fingerprints again...
I asked if they were going to return my ORIGINALS and they say NO....
Well I can't tell it was easy, I was so confident so that helped a lot, NO DOUBT!

I am sitting next to my SO at Hobby airport in Houston. We left Managua at 6:40 am, easy, no overweight, no problems at all! We flew on Continental and arrived to Houston George Bush International airport at 11 am! Custom was sooooooooooo easy!!!! we waited a couple of minutes in line, a nice officer grab my passport, my papers, joked around a lil bit and said the magic words "welcome to America." He called a security guy that took me to a lil room on a side, there were 3 more ladies sitting, after 5 minutes at the most they called me, made me sign (write my name) a paper and took my index fingerprint and gave me a white slip explaining to me when I had to remove conditions... They were really nice, in less than 10 minutes we were out of the airport on our way to our Final Destination  |

*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.
