3/22/2015 Received Letter with interview date and time
4/23/2015 our interview in los angeles, ca

This is what happened at our interview:

Our appointment was in LOS ANGELES, CA at 10:30 am.
We went through security at around 9:30am, there was a food and drink stand inside so we grabbed something and waited until 10am. We then took elevators to the 6th floor where we checked in at a window in the room# the letter provided, they held onto our letter and sent us to a different waiting room down the hall to wait. We waited in the waiting room until 11:30am before they called us. We were getting nervous because the agents we saw coming out to grabbed the couples before us were all so serious and some were rude when they called the people in. We were then called by An Asian agent that looked nice, so we were a little relieved.

Once in his office, he left the door open, he told us to remain standing and he swore us in. Once sitted he asked for both our ID's and passports, he had a BIG folder full of papers which was my husband entire care from the begginning including his first DACA documents. He started asking me questions then my husbands questions but I couldnt answer the questions being asked to my husband, and he couldnt answer the question being asked to me. Some of the questions asked were:

What is my full name (asked to my husband)
What is my Husbands full name (Asked to me)
Where did I work, what do i do, how long have i been there? (asked to my husband)
Where did my husband work, how long and what does he do there (asked to me)
What are each of our parents names and what do they do
Why don't we have kids yet
When was my husbands first illegal entrance, how and who did he come with
When was my husbands last entrance (our advanced parole)

A couple questions we couldn't remember the dates and the agent was rude making the comment" you forgot already, how could you forget it, you don't remember?" We were getting nervous it wasn't going so good. He didn't even look at any of the 3 photo albums I took and he said I sent in and brought more stuff then I needed to which annoyed him I guess.

The entire interview was about 25 minutes. After he said he needs to review the case and we will get an answer by mail, he gave us a paper with a box checkmarked that our case is being held for review.

We left not feeling so well, but we did our best. Within 2 hours our case status online said " our card has been ordered" we were sooooo excited!!!!

Then this morning the case status online says:
"Welcome notice was mailed, on April 22,2015 we registered your permanent residence status and mailed you a welcome letter. Your permanent residence card should arrive by June 21,2015"


All these years it is finally over!! I definitely recomend using Advanced parole to clear EWI and adjust status through marriage!

This is so exciting! What kind of sickness did granma have? I'm trying to apply for AP but I don't know what the threshold is for "sick or ailing relative." Thank you and congrats!

In my Husbands case, his grandma was having memory loss, and loss of feeling on 1 whole side of her body with not being able to walk. I forgot the medical terms for those symptoms.

Congrats!
I'm a greencard holder and i was wondering what is better: to file the petition i130 now or wait until im a citizen? I'm up for naturalization on 11/2019. My concern is what if there's a bill in the future that u can adjust as long as there's a petition approved (like the 245i). Btw he is ewi so he still needs advance parole. He's eligible for dapa which is uncertain right now. The priority date right now for f2a is 9/1/13.

I would think it's faster and better to do it once you become naturalized.

I don't even know you and yet I am so happy for you and your husband! That's a wonderful turn of events! Those questions and the line of interrogation would have made me nervous. The agents reactions would have also made me too nervous to eat for day! I bet the security you and your family felt after checking his status online is incomparable.

I met a lady years before and they were interviewed separately in different room. And the questions i remember were: what is the shape of your wall clock in the living room; what did u eat yesterday; where do u usually buy your groceries. They really grill to make sure it's not a sham marriage.

It all really depends on the officer interviewing you. The lady that interviewed us went through like 80 photos that my wife took of us. One by one she asked about the photo (what was the event or who were the other people in the photos). Asked my wife about her entrance with AP and just went through the whole process of asking her if she had ever committed a crime. The only thing they asked me was my name and what I did for a living. I remember our interview only taking like 12-15 minutes. I've read about other couples being asked what side of the bed each one sleeps in or the officer focusing more on the U.S. citizen rather than the person being petitioned.

I my self is gonna apply for adjustment, but my wife doesn't work and I'm gonna be the only one working, did they take his income as a way for self sponsorship?

I think they consider your income as long as you have been working with your real SSN (which I assume you have through DACA).
