Interview Review
Got there 7:20 for my 7:30 appointment.
A lady at the front asked for my letter, passport and two pictures. She gave them back to me then sent me in the line to go inside.
Went through security check point then into the courtyard where about 50 peoples was waiting. I went straight to the door and joined the line to get the yellow slip to write my passport number on.
The man said go inside and sit on the right. All seats were taken so i stood to the side.
The man who gave me yellow came inside and said he had bad news and good news which one do we want first. We said the bad news. He said the numbers on the ticket will not go in order and the good news is we will leave before the people on the left side. Everyone cracked up.
I love crossword puzzle so while i was waiting i did two pages, tried to relax.
About 9:15 i was called to the window to do the finger print.
The lady asked:
Who is filing for you?
Have you ever been to the US?
She asked for my passport, pictures and medical.
Did the finger print and said sit until you hear your number again.
In about 5 minutes i did.
The interviewer asked who is filing for me?
Then said one moment pls and went to the window i came from earlier. I was like what the F@$K?
She then asked:
How did you meet?
How long have you been intimate?
When did you decide you wanted to get married?
Why was he here in '07?
Do you have any children?
Is your daughter going with you?
Does your husband have any children?
How often do you see each other?
I asked if she wanted to see the stamps, she said yes and took them from me.
She didn't ask for any evidence.
Then she said your visa has been approved go to window 28.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

So my POE was July 2nd. I was asked just one question.
Are you married? Dah...
I was done with them in about two minutes.
So i got to the line and waited to go thru immigration. When i got to the counter the guy took my passport and immigration form then asked for my greencard, i told him i didn't have one but i had the packet, he said i'll take the packet, he then scanned my fingers.
He came out of his cubicle and said follow me.
I followed him, he seemed nice so i made a joke
Me: are you going to arrest me?
Officer: no but a group of guys are gonna strip-search you
Me: my husband wouldn't be happy about that
Officer: he won't know
Me: yes he will cause i'm gonna have to tell him
Officer: Laughed
We met another officer around the corner who took the packet from him, he told me to open the elevator, we went in, he said we are going down. he pressed the button.
Was this a test, to see if i was nervous or if i knew how to use an elevator?
He said sit down until you hear your name. I sat for about 2 minutes then my name was called, i went to sign the paper and took my finger print.
They gave me my passport and said that's it.
That's it. I was done.
The flight was also good, i wasn't scared. Maybe it's because i told myself i was driving to Kingston. lol.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
