@Jhonny Zion how was your interview yesterday??hope it went well?
Jhonny ZionMar 11, 2026
@Y O hey, I made a post! but I’ll respond here as well, it was pretty long but it was not due to the whole interview, the fingerprinting machine had some issues, the interview itself was about 2 and a half, maybe 3 hours. half of that was just reviewing the original application, my attorney had sent a supplemental packet 7 days prior to the interview which included everything from Corrections to my i589, legal brief, declaration, evidence, psychological evaluation, country condition reports. so that made the officer not need a lot of time on a lot of things. The interview itself was more like a confirmation, she did not try to catch any inconsistencies or try to corner me with any questions. My tips and advice, know your declaration if you wrote one, because they will confirm information with you in a way that only if you truly know what you had on your statement you would know how to respond. She did not spend too much time on the evidence but I am guessing due to her reviewing them already and not seeing any issues. Besides that, it was chill, relax, they are human, I literally felt like I was at the DMV lol.
