Approved Today! Filing from Queens, NY
First of all thank you to everyone here in the forum. I have learned a lot from here and saved a lot of money cuz i dont have to hire a lawyer.
I have my interview today at federal plaza scheduled at 8:15 AM. We got there at 7:40. waited in the room until the officer called our names.
We got in to the interview room around 8:35AM.
The IO was very nice. he was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. He imtroduced his name and swore us in. He introduced his name again (i think he forgot that he already did earlier). He asked for our IDs. i gave my passport, my husband’s passport and drivers license. He said “im seeing a lot of california documents around here, can anyone explain why?” my husband didnt change his DL to New York DL cuz its easier to renew his cars lease if he retain his license in california. (My husband moved to new york cuz of work. we will be here for three years. We are both from California) All of our other accounts and proofs are addressed in New York Though. He took our pictures and my fingerprint. he asked for some joint documents. I gave our apartment lease, joint credit cards, gym membership. and then he started asking, “So whos the best to tell me how you guys met.” my husband started talking and its actually more of like a conversation type of thing. He asked me if my parents knew about my marriage. He asked my husband if he met my family, he answered through videocalls only cuz theyre in the philippines.
He asked me what does our gym look like. does it have any pool?we were jokingly said “We wish” and laughed. It was smooth and going all good. We went through the yes and no question. let me sign the paper confirming everything was true. He asked us if we have any questions. we said no. He said “Ok, i will make a decision for your case today, if i need more proofs ull be receiving a letter within 30 days, but the whole decision time can last 120 days. But i promise i will be making a decision on your case today.” and thats it
i was like, “i still have a lot of proofs to show. i have here our pictures, affidavit from friends, etc”
he said “ no youre fine”
we said thank you and shook hands. We got out of the room 8:56am. it was a quick interview. 9:30 i received a message that my case is updated. Checked online, new card is being produced.

i guess it really helps to put a lot of evidence the moment you send your application. Thats what we did. and i even saw it in the folder he is holding.
So relax and take note that theyre not there to crucify you, theyre there to help you complete your forms and proofs. Also dress properly. It always helps to dress that shows you respect them and the process. Always show courtesy and shake the hand of the IO after the interview.

Thank you guys so much!
