Title: Green card interview today only 15 minutes Post by: Mike on January 03, 2002, 05:00:00 AM My wife and I went for our interview today and was asked no trick questions, we were not asked for any evidence, or pictures of us together, I mean nothing, not even our joint accounts. Also they didn't ask for the I-864 sponsor papers ! We just held our hands up and was sworn in and handed over our passports and answered questions that pertained to the information they already have, such as our birth date, and such things. By the way this was in Columbus Ohio.
arrived in the U.S. Aug 9th I think that is less then 6 months from the time she arrived ! Title: the hard way... Post by: yoe on January 03, 2002, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Green card interview today only 15 minut..., posted by Mike on Jan 3, 2002
While I paid a lawyer for intial papers and waited an extra 2 months for INS our AOS and green card stuff went through with lighting speed............I think the first 5 minutes they seen my wife and I together they new we were legit-no other two people could be more suited or deserving of each other..........in other words no one else could put up with us.......good luck on the rest of your venture.

Sounds like the same experience we had. I think it is so funny these people that drag their lawyers in for the interview. You have to be pretty dense to not be able to do everything without a lawyer, or just plain lazy. If you have internet access and a phone, you can do just about anything on your own.

I'm glad your experience was easy, but it's not always the case with AOS interviews. I agree that a lawyer is probably not necessary, but just last week there was a post about someone who had to come back again because of lack of preparation in having the necessary documents. Don't assume it will be easy for you and prepare for a possible grilling which was the case with us. You can't assume that this will always be a 15 minute walk in the park.

I agree 100% ! Even though I think no one needs a lawyer, I do think one must be over prepaired when going for an interview. Mike |
