Thank you for asking!!! Yes, but still getting it all together. I wish interview would follow shortly after but Newark seems to be moving kind of slow?

Scanigm Hi there...our interview was quite long....IO interviewed me first (I am Naturalized USC and petitioner). My interview alone took 45 long minutes. Asked bunch of questions about where we live, how many bedroom in the house, etc, etc. Then she interviewed my wife (beneficiary) for 25 minutes. Compared the answers and then said everything looks good. We had overwhelming amount of evidence put together which we left with her and at the end she said everything looks good. After we left, within 10 minutes, the case status changed to "interview completed and your case is being held for review". I have no idea when GC will be sent. We are just glad interview is behind us.
Don't let our interview experience scare you. Every office and every case is different. You will do fine. Just be prepared, answer their questions best you can and have tons of evidence with you. Best of luck.

I wonder why they decided to interview you separately

Japm Not sure. Our lawyer was surprised also. We have been married about 11 months and my wife lived in Europe prior to moving here. Maybe that had something to do with it. Hard to tell.
