Greencard Approved!
After months of anxiously waiting — finally, I can sleep well. This community exist for a reason! I found it through reddit & everyone has been very helpful since I joined. Today my case has been approved, and I wanted to say thank you! And wishing everyone the best of luck.
Here’s my interview experience;
I’ve done a lot of researched & brought as much proof as I could. But the biggest proof we have was ourselves. My husband and I are genuinely in-love with each other & we know that we can answer whatever questions the officer will throw during the interview. We waited for an hour and a half for our turn. All the couples that came out the office aren’t happy & one of them was actually crying, some were called & interview separately — which made me nervous a little bit.
During the first phase of the interview — the officer ask these questions;
1) How did you guys meet?
2) When did you start dating?
3) Have you met his/her family?
4) What do they think about the relationship?
5) Have you two travel anywhere lately?
6) Why did you marry her/him?
7) Why did you decide to move together
SECOND PHASE
Yes or No questions from the application form such as human trafficking or money laundering (illegal stuffs)
THIRD PHASE
1) She ask about our family, just names of mom & dad.
2) Our previous address
3) Our college school & major
4) Current jobs (I told her that I worked without authorization prior to my EAD but I’m using my SSN to pay taxes, she said that it’s waived & don’t matter cuz I’m married to US-Citizen)
FOURTH PHASE
Finance - she asked for our bank statement & why did we open a joint bank account. (Well we just told her that his parents gave us 10 grand as a wedding gift — which is true)
She asked me if I know how much does he make stuff like that.
After that was just a friendly conversation. She only asked for one picture. Our dog. Then she told me that my card will be mailed & gave me an overview of what to do for naturalization & renewal of greencard.
*** I believed that everyone have a different & unique interview experience, but regardless of that, I hope everyone will hear the good news y’all been waiting for! Best of luck, have faith! ***

Thank you guys! Yes this is a marriage based. My husband is a US Citizen & I legally entered the country using J1 visa. My field office was Chicago, IL. But I did my biometrics & interview in Pittsburgh since it’s where we live.
