So my story is that I came to the US at age of 6 on someone else's passport (with inspection because I landed from India to JFK). I had NO proof of coming here with inspection...no passport/visa or anything. I was approved for DACA before marriage. Needless to say, I was nervous about how the officer would view this and thats why we hired an attorney.
We got extremely lucky today. Our officer was an older Hispanic woman, who is also a supervisor (I later found out from my attorney). We went through the usual routine of being sworn, security questions, and she verified our information we provided on the initial application. The officer was taken aback by my entry at first but did not make a big deal out of it since I was 6. She went through all of our paperwork and noted down all of our joint statements, bills, lease, insurance etc. She then asked about how we met, who proposed first, what we enjoy doing, and if we plan to have a family. She was more interested in the paper proof we submitted than our pics. I had prepared about 100 pictures but she only looked at about ten and was satisfied. She made us feel at ease and offered us candy! She was super sweet! She then told us she was going to approve us and printed our approval notice! I was not expecting to be approved on the spot!!
My advice is to come prepared but don't be nervous-as long as your marriage is real you will be good. You don't need an attorney unless you have a complicated issue like I did, but it does go a lot easier with an attorney. Plus they prep all the paperwork and put a package together for you (ours did anyways). We paid a high price and I would not have hired an attorney if I had proof of my inspection entry.
