    2011-01-25 : Interview Approved !!


    On January 25th me and my wife went on the interview, it was originally scheduled at 9:05AM but anyway we had to wait extra 50 minutes before IO called my name. She was very nice and kind lady in her early 50's. She escorted us to her room and asked to raise our right hands and swear that we would tell only truth. After that she asked our ID's, and original paperwork. She started to ask questions directly from our application's, most of them were from G-325A (Biographic Info), questions like what is your DOB, where were you born and etc. After she asked me a couple questions from my I-485 application. Then she asked us for any joint assets and we provided her our most recent bank statements and apartment lease. She kept our apartment lease in my file for our records. After that she left the room with our ID's, my EAD and bank debit cards and made a copies of that documents. She came back in room with a copies and gave us our ID's back and asked if we had some pictures. She quickly took a look at it and said that everything was looking ok, and that she was going to approve my application and that I should receive my green card within 30 days. Honestly, I was shocked because first of all interview last long for 15 minutes and secondly she approved my application right away )
    I just want to say that for me fact is a fact, and I have to admit that USCIS been very effective and fast since day one that I started my case, so thanks USCIS for their remarkable work, thank you guys for your help and finally thanks god, because he's awesome ))

    P.S. that's what I received in my inbox soon after my interview

    Congrats!!

    Congrats on your approval.
    Got a quick question for you. Since our interview is coming up in early Feb, the letter of notification for an interview states that I (petitioner) need to bring all copy documents but here is the problem.

    After I sent the hole documents and evidence, they notified me in the letter saying that I didn't send original I-94, so I did. So obviously I don't have I-94 in my hand except the copy. In the interview letter it says that
    "All travel documents used to enter the United States, including Passports, Advanced Parole documents (I-512 which is N/A for me) and I-94s (Arrical/ Departure Document)."

    So I called the USCIS customer service and gave me VERY helpful answer saying "IF I WANT MY ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS BACK, YOU CAN REQUEST A RETURN OF YOUR ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS SUBMITTING G-884"

    yeah....not answering my question at all. How was your case?
    Did you originally send the original I-94? Did you have to request any documents to be returned before the interview??

    Thanks

      Well since you sent your original I-94 you dont have to worry about it, because whoever's gonna interview you he/she should have all of your paperwork assembled together. In my case, i just sent the copy of my I-94 and on the interview officer took off my original one from the pasport.
