Approved at Queens not Brooklyn Office
Good Afternoon

I had my interview this morning at 11am at Federal Plaza. This morning started off kind a rough and we had rebuke the devil. We arrived at Federal Plaza apt around 10:30 am after passing security we took a look at the notice to see what floor we should go to. To my surprise the sign stated queens office, we were surprise because we live in Brooklyn near the Gateway Mall, so I guess it depends on your address in Brooklyn you will get the Queens office. we went to the 9th floor and then we was send to the 4th floor to room 437. It wasn't that many people in the room and it seems that they were there for different reasons. We were sent to the window and received a number, I looked at my watch and it was 10:40am. At around 11:07 our number was call, I was so nervous my husband(bene) his faith is stronger than mine was calm. I think the officer name was Nelson ask why I was nervous and I told him "he has my family life in his hand" he then said there's nothing to be nervous about. We walk to his office and before we sat down we had raise our hand and promise to tell the truth.

Question he ask me (Pet)
When did we meet ?
He ask for more information about our relationship ?? I then ask him if he wanted to know about before 2010 or after 2010 because it was 2 different relationship. He laugh and said he wanted to hear about before 2010. I was honest with him and told him everything.
He ask me how kids my husband have?
What are his kids name?
where do they live?
Does the pays child support and how much he pays?
What my husband do for a living ?
Do we see the kids?
What is my address?

Question to my husband (bene)
Where do I work?
Was he arrested before and was that the only time?
Our kids name?
Question from the application

I took 4 document holder folder with each label what was inside ( easier for me to separate than having one big binder and less to carry) and the original documents.

Document he requested
marriage cert
birth cert for our kids
case disposition for the arrest
pictures and he only took one
Lease and I told him that I own my home before we met
Joint bank account ( open yrs before marriage)
Credit card with my husband as auth user ( open yrs before marriage)
bank account ( open yrs before marriage)
life insurance ( open yrs before marriage)

He ask if we had any question and I ask him if he was approved, he stated he can't say because of the arrest he need to review the case and speak to his supervisor( I personally think he was the supervisor). I left not happy and nervous. We left the office around 12pm while walking to the train I received a text stating the was an update. I went to my account and it stated that " New card is being produce" for the I-485, nothing as yet for the I-130. I not worried because he stated that he believed the marriage is real and not to worry My husband is so happy. I came to this country at the age 9 legally and now I am 47 , so I do not know the feeling of being out of status, I was always sympathetic to all immigrants because that is what I am. Seeing my husband almost cry and him explaining to me for the first time of the shame and the fear. I just have to thank GOD for everything HE has done and keep doing in our life. I pray that everyone on this forum success when it their time for the interview. Just be honesty and please be patient. When I started this process I told my husband as long as he get his work permit so he can get an Id I was willing to wait 2yrs for a 10 yr card. But that was not GOD plan.

Good Luck!!!!!
