Interview Passed :)
Got my green card today. Passport stamped.
The hardest part of the entire process was all the paper work, copying everything and getting to the interview itselt (traffic).
After staying up all night copying the paper work, we woke up and left one hour before the interview time. We arrived 15 mins before the scheduled time, to find no line at all, the day was looking good. The security guards were nice and informative. We met our attorney in the small and quaint waiting room, dropping out appointment letter in the box upon entering. After a 30min wait (we were laughing and talking because there was nothing to hide) the interviewer called my name and we followed her into her office.
She was very pleasant. This is how it went.....
Raise your right hand and swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
We did
She asked some basic questions, have you ever......
To which the answer for all is no
Asked if such and such was our address
She asked my wifes name
Can I have your ID cards?
We gave them to her ( she verified the addresses are the same)
Asked for our original birth certificates
Then she asked for our certified marriage certificate
She asked for the last years tax return
We showed her the tax return along with a copy of the check
Then amist some chit chatter between all of us for 2 mins, she turned around and grabbed a bottle of water to drink, she took out the stamp, asked me for my passport and said "Congratulations". With a nice echoed thump, my passport was stamped with my proof of perminent residence.
Total time 8 mins, if that.
