AOS San Jose FO (concurrently filled - I-485/130/765/131 and I-693)
My husband and I had our interview this past week and would like to share our experience in case it may help
Our interview was scheduled for 10/26/2021 at 12pm. We arrived to the FO around 11:30am and started to line up around 11:45am. As we entered the building, their first check point a security personal asked us COVID related questions and asked to see our IDs and interview notice. As that was done, we moved to the typical security screening ( ie take off shoes, belts, phones, etc). Then we got our waiting number. We didn’t wait in the waiting room too long before we our number was called by an officer. The officer led us to the interview room and we took our oath. She had us sign lawyer representation waiver. We had to sign one since we filed with a lawyer, but he was not present with us for the interview. She then asked both of us standard questions such as names, DOB, where we were born. Then she proceeded to ask my husband questions on his i485 form. Since my husband had switched jobs and we had moved apartments, she updated that information on her copy of the i485. She then asked us to give her a rundown of our relationship : How and when we met (Month and year was enough ), the proposal (if one), ceremony and future plans. My husband started first then I would chime in. It felt more like a conversation rather than interview. After all said and done, it took about 15 minutes for the interview and she approved us! She updated our status in the system and said it takes about 24 hours to show on the webiste. And my husband should be getting his card in 2-6 weeks. We were so surprised how quickly it went. I don’t know if I watch too many crime shows, but I was expecting a dark, windowless room lol and it was the opposite. We felt very welcomed by all the personnel and they greeted us so nicely. It was very diffierent than what we had been expecting. The officer who interviewed us was very friendly and welcoming.

At the precheck, we were asked if we had any covid related symptoms, if we were exposed to covid recently.. standard covid questions. We weren’t explicitly asked if we had gotten the vaccine, but we did bring our vaccination cards just in case

@ M C
Did you guys got your vaccinations before the interview?
karoon boundurant1 de nov de 2021
MC did the IO ask for your ID and your spouse
M C2 de nov de 2021
@B E I’m not sure if it’s mandatory to get the vaccine before the interview. We had both gotten vaccinated months ago due to work
M C2 de nov de 2021
@ karoon boundurant We showed our IDs when we first entered the building along with our recipet notice. But the interviewing officer didn’t ask.. she only asked to see our birth certificates
