15 mins after the interview: new card is being produced
My interview was only 20 mins the longest.
We were there at 8:00am.
He called my name at 8:15am.
He was not hard but not so nice. He was professional.
We didn't do the "how are you" stuffs. He didn't ask us, we were too nervous to say anything.
He asked me to specifically sit in front of the camera. We swore. I printed my index fingers.
We both were very nervous and the officer could tell that.
He started by asking for my passport, our ID, my husband birth certificate. He saw my medical exam and he wanted it too.
He began asking my husband:
Name/DOB/current address/
how long living at the address/
is it a house/owned or rent/how many people/include
(My husband was so nervous.) He said 4-5. The officer said he needed the accuracy of the answers. My husband said he couldn't count right now. The officer told him to "take a deep breath and I will ask again. How many people living at the house." My husband started counting and said 5. The officers said "include.." My husband listed them.
date of marriage/where/why that place/who were there/
(My husband listed everyone but forgot his mom.)
"no one from your side?"
"no sir"
"How long have you known your spouse for?"
(We have known each other for 14 years)
He then asked me:
Name/dob/address/my mom name/are they alive
When did I start living there/
I told him that I used to live there for a year and I moved to help my relative in (state)
"you promised at Ho Chi Minh that you came here for school. Are you still in school?
"yes. I went to school at the other state too. I have my transcript." While I was looking for it, he saw my I-20 on the binder and he said that he wanted that one. He looked through it and said "ok. That's good" and he gave me back my I-20.
W2
We don't have W2 because I just have my work permit.
He asked if we filled taxes my husband said no. I gave him my husband's pat stubs. And a letter from my employer.
Date of marriage/
And it was actually his mom there.
the offficer said "so he forgot about the
Mom huh
He asked wedding picture and I said I don't have one.
He was like "ohhh you didn't have wedding pictures."
I said yes but we have pictures of the party after we got married at the court house.
*looking for that picture in the 20 pictures that I brought*
He then told my to give him all.
He went through the pictures and looked at the picture of my husband and my mom and ask my husband if he went to visit my mom. My husband said yes every other year when we had a chance.
He stopped at the picture of me and my husband when we were little and say "so this was when you guys were little." He was smile showing that picture to me. (It was a really funny picture of us). I was shy and say "yes, I'm sorry, I just wanna include that picture" and he said "no, it's ok."
He asked when did we first meet?
2004
How old were you?
Swear to God I couldn't do my math so I was like "8.. my husband was 8 but I couldn't be 10.. so.. I'm sorry let me calculate"
He was like "take your time, take the deep breath"
"Ok I was 8"
"Was your husband 8 too?"
"No he was 6"
"6?"
"Yea"
"Did you like him at that time"
"No he was short. He was shorter than me."
"Now he grows up huh"
"Yeah He is tall and he is a nice person"
"Ok are you guys moving in the next 30 days?"
"No sir"
Next is the have you questions.
"Ok I will put it on the computer and your card will be home in 10-14 days.The reason I asked if you guys are moving in the next 30 days because of this."
Then he explained the process to remove the condition on my gc and tell me to apply for citizenship 3 years since today (the interview date).
He asked if there is any question. I said no. My husband wanted to know his name. And we said thank you. He took us out and that was it.
On the way driving home new status was updated to new card is being produced. Couldn't believe it.
Advice: Copy everything and at the interview, give them both copy and original.
Dont intercrupt your spouse. Wearing casual. My husband with pants with sweeter, me was dress and flag. Eye to eye contact.Don't talk to your spouse.
