Interview experience: our interview was completely different than what we expected. We arrived a bit early and the officer called us 5 minutes early. After the regular identification and oath he asked me some simple questions. Then straight went to the I485 yes no questions. He asked me about 12-15 questions. Then turned to my wife and did the same thing. He did not ask for any documents. Our 3 month old daughter was with us in the room. The office asked her name and DOB and updated our application. The officer was really nice and the interview was much easier than expected. Then he explained about the retrogression which I had no idea, and hence the wait began.

I got my GC after my 6 years of H1B, there was a lot of ups and downs. So to all the good people who are going through this wait period, I just want to say, even though it is very difficult and often times seems impossible, the only thing that will get you through is patience and keep believing.

Happy thanksgiving everyone.
