Expecting to receive card on mail this weekend.

I am really sorry about some of y'all cases. I pray you find a breakthrough soon. My case was different and I got approve on the spot. My card was produced later that day. The guy who interviewed me gave me some advice as to why some cases are held back. First do not panic if your stuff is real.
1. Do not panic. Answer the questions carefully and they are easy questions.
2. Make sure whoever your spouse is care as much as you do about this immigration process because it is a life changing moment for you. They should know a lot about you and you should know about your spouse because they could ask anything. Don't just wait till interview to start learning about yourselves and the process.
3. Be Organized. Be more prepared than the officers. Have important document in different categories and take your time when bringing them out. Make sure you and your spouse sort through them during the interview because they observe couples moment, body language and how they communicate.
4. I know sometimes there might be bad officers but most of them know about your cases before you even walk in. They know when there is a red flag I was approve before he even questioning us. He basically said I have looked through your cases and I see no reason not to believe you. You guys are a very cute couple and make sure you start saving document now before you get the 10 years gc. Also apply for naturalization 3 years from today. He also advice me to sign up for selective service before I turn 25 because it is very important.
5. You can ask them questions. Smile to them when you are being interview because most of them can also relate to your case and they might even share some experiences with you. During my interview I told the officer that the day we married was my parents 30 years anniversary and also my wife parents and my both parents share the same name. He laughed and said that was weird and he then went on to tell us that the last couples he interviewed had the same birthday and he said today is a weird day for stuff like this.
6. Make sure your important documents have stamps and signature on them. It makes it very authentic. Take a lot of joint evidence with you. I only have joint account statement and flight ticket. He told me he needed more. I show him my facebook, Instagram page with pictures of me and my wife. I also show him conversations from family and he took that from us to back up the joint account statement. Don't wait until interview to open a joint account. Do that before you even start filing! They look at dates.

7. As for pictures you have to group them. Put pictures with family and friend up front ahead of pictures of you two. Organize your pictures by place, month and year if possible. I organized my picture by the places we both spend time and we visited. I had pictures of us in New York, Michigan, Miami, Mexico, The US virgin Island and some activities we did together separately. I wrote on the back of last picture the Place, Month and year so I could remember them. He was really impress when we started naming these places as we brought out the pictures. He looked at them and didn’t take any. He then made a reface saying some couples just come to interview and dump pictures on the table expecting us to know where there are from. He applauded us for being ready. He look through our recent picture over Christmas break but did not take any. He turn down a lot of Document from us because he felt we would need it when we apply for permanent residency.

Interview questions
1. WIFES NAME AND BIRTHDAY, My name and birthday. When and where did we meet. The day we got married. He ask about lease and I said I was on full scholarship and university cover my housing. He said a joint lease would be a valuable document to extend to 10 YEARS. He approved both cases and the rest of our time there was conversations and advice.

 I pray God answer everyone who is waiting their prayers. This is a stressful thing and I had a lot of sleepless night and I had to make sure my spouse understand how this could better our lives. Remember you can not fail or forget questions like your spouses birthday, the date you got married and names, the date or year you met. Those are easy stuff you can’t forget.

If anyone has questions. I would reply in no time. Goodluck
