Green Card Interview Experience--Tampa
Hello all,
I had my i485--adjustment of status interview today through marriage. My RD was October 3 2018.
Our interview was scheduled at 12.45 pm and we were called in at 1.45 pm. Tampa office was quite busy.
The officer was very pleasant and thorough. We had our lawyer present with us and I recommend that you take your lawyer with you if you have one.
The process was the same--oath, yes no questions and relationships related questions.
The following questions were asked to me:
What is his DOB?
Where was he born?
His parents' name?
The same questions were asked to my husband in a random order
Next set of questions were as follows:
Did you have a traditional wedding?
How are we supporting ourselves financially?
Has my husband met my parents?
She confirmed my profession
She then asked for supporting evidence. We gave our joint lease, joint tax returns, flght bookings of trips taken together and photo album with 200 photos.
She looked at all the photos.
She didn't look at any of the original documents except passport.
We then started talking about hiking and backpacking as a lot of our trips were based around hiking.
She then said that everything looks good and she is going to approve it. I should receive the card in 2-3 weeks. It will be a conditional green card and after 2 years I will have to apply again to remove conditions. She congratulated me, my husband and our lawyer.
She ended with "have fun with all the hiking"
Neither my husband and I were nervous. Overall, it was pretty smooth. I love the Tampa office.
I am glad it is over and I hope you all get it soon.
I will update when I receive the card.
Good luck!
