hello guys!!!
so finally after waiting for little over 1.5 years our interview was scheduled at POrtland though our FO was SEattle ,but USCIS is shifting Seattle cases to Portland these days. I have seen many people’s interview at Portland instead of Seattle. We reached half an hour in advance as it was a long que waiting for us. Our interview was at 1.30 but our officer was probably busy so we were only called in at 2:00.
Other than customary yes or no question he only asked about how we met and routine questions such as who cooks and where have you travelled together. We were carrying many documents to support our case such as financials, originals birth certificates , photo album and any normal document which we all know by now.The officer only flipped through our photo album hurriedly and dint ask for any other document , we did try to push through but he seems ok without documetns .The over all vibe was relaxed and he seemed content .He did talk a bit about his travel and some experiences casually.
By the end of the interview which barely lasted for 25-30 mins he informed that our case is approved and said if we want to ask any questions, when we dint have any he explained the conditional Green card residency rule as our marriage is few months less than 2 years and the procedure there on for a 10 year green card and citizenship if someone wants to apply .
i got the update ‘New card is being produced “ in 15 mins and case is approved the next day . In nut shell i can say it is stressful yet easy when you actually crack it. I know each officer is different but by and large they are sincere and diligent with their work . i would be happy to answer any specific question for the interview. i am thankful to all the fellow members here who replied to my queries often silly here . i am grateful for their time and knowledge so i wanna spread the little knowledge i have around. I have attached my timeline as well so you guys can have an idea . Good luck and stay blessed . i still wanna be an active member of this community and hope the same from you guys as the info we share is free and mostly accurate.

today we had our interview at Charleston FO.
it went well, we didn’t get approved on the spot.
the IO told us that he can’t do it because he needs to check all the entrances I had to the US ( I traveled to México too many times) and he wanted to be sure if they have to apply to me the 3 year bar. I really was thinking that it going to take long time to see “new card is being produced” on my USCIS account. It takes like 7 hours until I saw it. I’m glad that this first step is over and I hope everyone of you have good news soon. keep the faith my friends, keep the faith.

Marriage Green Card Case Approved! (Queens, NYC)
Hi everyone, I filed my case last April 2021 and I had an interview yesterday afternoon.
(F-1 to permanent resident)
We met in 2015 as friends in college and we started dating in 2018. We got married June 2019, so the interview date was over than 2 years of our wedding date.
We thought the interview didn’t go well because the officer was a bit scary and we were nervous. So we gave him wrong answers (mostly my spouse;citizen)
I could see my wife was so nervous so I just tapped her shoulder and told her “it’s okay” even though I know she gave him wrong andswers.
The officer just moved on to next questions and he didn’t ask me have you ever questions, he only asked “have you been arrested?” and I said no.
Here is the list of the questions we were asked
To citizen:
- Full name
- Full address
- Current work and position
- Have you met spouse’s parents?
- their names
- where do they live?
- where your spouse was born?
- spouse dob
- spouse previous work and position
To application:
- Full name
- Full Address
- Spouse name
- spouse dob
- spouse salary
- spouse parents’ name
- spouse parents’ occupation
- where do they live?
- how much money that our household made last year?
- How my spouse got permanent residentship and when did she gained citizenship?
And he asked us any additional evidence or proof of our relationship, so I handed him a bunch of documentations each by each as telling him what kind of evidence it is.
- Lease Agreement
- Renter’s insurance
- Con-ed bill
- Wedding ceremony officiant contract
- 2020 Tax joint filing
- Joint bank account (first 3 months and past 12 months)
- Amazon Prime (screenshot)
- Airplane tickets that we traveled together
- 100 photos (he let us choose 3 photos and he took it for the record)
- Wedding ceremony album.
And he asked one more time after he quickly went through the evidence “anything elese?”
I brought 2 letters from our best friends as affidavit letter of support and I handed the letters to him
“I know I don’t have to submit affidavit letters of support, however, it’s been over 2 years of our marriage started so I thought it might help for the process. Here are 2 letters from our best friends”
And he said something but I couldn’t hear it because of the mask and the plexi glass between him and us.
He said “well this is it, I’m gonna review it from now, we might bring you guys back for the stoke interview, or request more documentations, good luck”
And we said thank you for your time.
An hour after the interview, my gut told me to check the status and I chekced, boom! the status changed to “new card is being produced” and 30 mins ago, it changed to “case was approved”
Don’t lose hope y’all. Please bring as many evidence as you can. Be polite to officers. You’ll get a good result!
They treat same-sex marriage as the same as heterosexual marraige, so chin up and be proud, my LGBTQIA people!
