Adjustment of Status - I-485

My husband and I just finished our interview for my green card today in San Antonio, TX. It was something UNEXPECTED so I share the story here!

Immigrant office was very busy and even though we got there 15 min before the interview (9:45am), our interview started 30 min after the scheduled time (10:30am).

When our number was called, there was a serious-looking gentleman opening the door for us. He took us to his office, and said “please sit down” (I thought he would tell us which side petitioner/beneficiary should sit, but he did’t.) After the officer asked us to raise our right hand to take an oath that we will tell the truth, he took a photo of me and fingerprints for both of my right and left index fingers.

First thing I noticed when saw the officer’s desk was that he had a whole green card packet that we sent. Since he already had all the applications and the documents we attached, even though we prepared all the documents & copies again for the interview and sorted them nicely in the folder (so we can take them out ASAP during the interview when we were asked), he did not ask us to show him anything extra. All he asked us to show during the whole interview was only my advance parole that I received in January, and the EAD card I had in the past.

He asked us if I traveled outside the US after the date I wrote on my application, I had a trip to my home country recently so I told him the date of my last entry to the US, he wrote it down on my application and asked if I entered with my advanced parole or something else (sorry I forgot), so I said advance parole. Then he asked me to show it to him, so I took out my advanced parole and its copy (The officer said “perfect!")
As he goes through the application he asked me if I had any problem entering the US or any troubles with visa, so I said “No”.

Following is the conversation we had.

Officer: Do either of you guys have children?
Us: No
Officer: Do you guys still live in the same address on this application?
Us: Yes
Officer: Is this the first marriage for both of you guys?
Us: Yes
Officer: (To me,) Your birthday is - (Date) - right?
Me: “Yes”
Officer: How did you guys meet?
I told him how we met in the different state and he asked us why we moved to Texas, my husband explained him that it’s because of his job
Officer: Cool! So you guys got married in…(checking the application) - (Date) - right? Was that a big wedding or small wedding?
We told him that we had a small wedding in the courthouse since none of our family live close to us, and that we’re planning to have a wedding with our family in the state we met.
Officer: Cool! That’s awesome. Well, it seems like you guys got all the evidence of your marriage and I don’t see any problem here, this case is closed. Your resident card will be sent in 4 weeks.
Us: (Can’t believe interview is over)

Yes, so the officer didn’t ask any questions that I searched on the internet every night, no question about our family, proposal, how we fell in love, no questions about my criminal record, social status, polygamy or anything like that! None of difficult questions we expected was asked, the officer didn’t even asked our phone number! All he asked us was a bit of our very basic information, and most of the time he did’t even ask, just made sure if the information he has is correct.

The interview finished in less than 10 min, and it was the easiest & shortest interview ever…what a surprise.
I still recommend you guys to prepare all the document, and get ready to answer any questions since I think this is a very rare case. My story might not be a big help, but just wanted to share my experience and tell you guys that there is a case like this. Good luck to all the people who are going through this super long process!
