St. Louis Interview Experience
All,
Thank you so much for sharing your stories and answering questions with caring and understanding. My husband and I (I am the USC) had our interview at 8am yesterday morning at the St. Louis field office. We had a female officer who started out kind of cold (she reminded me a lot of a teacher at my kids' school and acted the same way, too). She asked us to take the oath and after that she asked for supplemental documents. I provided original marriage license, birth certificates, passports (good and expired), emails from 2008 when we were dating, photos from 2008 through the present, the deed to our home, receipts with both our names for new appliances last year and a letter from the new construction community where we are now thinking of building our second home. I had 100's more pages but she told me she didn't want/need them.
Then she asked questions of my husband like what my full name is, what it was before we got married, what our address is, what my birthday is, my parents' names are and if either of us have any kids anywhere else in the world. She also asked how we met and lastly, why we waited so long (been married 7.5+ years and together 10 next year).
At the end, she printed the old "case held for review" document but explained that she had to provide it to us if she wasn't going to immediately send our case through approved. The only reason she didn't officially approve us on the spot is because she had back to back interviews yesterday but she advised that she would be working part of this weekend and had a list of cases to send approvals to and that ours was at the top of the list! She noted that our case was pretty much the easiest one in her caseload at the moment and that while she couldn't give an official approval on paper yet, that we should consider the application approved and to look for the 10 year GC in about 2 weeks!
For almost 10 years, we've been looking over our shoulders and being overly cautious about who we say what to and what we do. For almost 10 years now, I've freaked out every time my husband has been late home from work or anywhere else for fear that he had been pulled over or detained for some reason. For close to 10 years, we've carried this burden with us, but now, it's like a 1000 ton weight has been lifted off us both just knowing that he's unofficially legal now!
