marriage based petition approved, Washington DC FO
Our priority date was in December 2020 out of National Benefits Center. Interview was October 4th, we were told our case needed to be reviewed before decision could be made. Interviewer was very tough on my husband, but eased up about mid-way through the interview and was quite friendly towards the end. Card being produced as of yesterday!

hi B i believe your interview would have been in Fairfax VA. mine will be there too. could you please share your timeline after getting biometric done. Also if you you could share a few questions asked at the interview. it would a great help.

Biometrics were taken last week of July and interview was scheduled for first week of October. The first question was directed at me asking how we met; based on that answer the interviewer grilled my husband pretty hard (he was here on a tourist visa due to expire spring 2020 so technical overstay but, COVID). We were then asked about each other’s families, since my husband has a daughter from a previous marriage I was asked specifics about her; her name, birthday, age, etc. and then my husband was asked about my dad specifics as well. The interviewer then asked to see other documents we had brought, and then specifically said “I want to see pictures” of which we had 10 or so ready for him. The interview went much more smoothly after the pictures were shown and the rest was mostly procedural questions asked of my husband based on the paperwork for filing. At the end, we weren’t given a decision but a print out saying more time was needed to review. We didn’t get any super specific questions about our apartment or habits, however our lawyer who gave us a mock interview asked a lot of the “what color is your mattress” and “who sleeps on what side of the bed” stuff, so I take it these kinds of things do come up a lot. It was a little over a week or so after our interview that we received the notice that the card was being produced, and the next day an official approval. Wishing the best to everyone, I hope this helps!
