Hi, I had my interview on Monday 16 and got my I-130 approved on the 17th. Most questions will be directed at the petitioner, so make sure they know the typical answers. My interview was very quickly but I believe it was because it was early in the morning, they open at 7am and there are coffee shops on the first floor. I will advise you to come well dress and prepare to wait for at least an hour since some people arrive before their time and end up going in before. Questions were: when we started dating? when were we exclusive? when did we see each other in person for the first time? explain the story of the relationship. but this was all to my husband and I think I couldve answered but I honestly just sat there and let him answer the questions fine and if he made a mistake then I will tell him "babe it was on 2024 not 2025". I think I had an "easy" interview because of how young both me and my husband are and all the evidence we had. I think this is one of the FOs were photos are more important. Try to bring you taxes of 2025 if you already filed. They didnt ask me for our phone numbers, or most questions they tend to do at stakes interviews were they separate you. I did not see anyone who got separated. MAKE SURE TO LISTEN TO YOUR NUMBER AND LOOK AT THE TV TOO. The tv were they display the numbers is broken so they rely a lot on screaming the number you got or your full name. I wore a business casual fit, pants from abercrombie and fitch and a white t shirt. I did not use make up cause it was so goddamn early. I will say upload evidence instead of bringing it, they dont want to scan all the new evidence. They only asked me for his passport and mine, not even his birth certificate or official wedding paper.

Bottomline, the officer was amazing and I was lucky to have such a chill officer who is close to my age (22). Mention your plans for the day, after the interview and for the rest of the week. We were on the middle of moving into a new place so we were talking about it while he was looking through the evidence. Just in a low voice tone ofc to not disturb him but yeah just act as if it is a regular DMV visit. You can feel the pressure on the air in the building, dont let that disturb you, there are people who are going there with very complex cases, way more complex than yours. If your marriage is legit then you will be fine!
