I have an interview with immigration on Octerber 29, 2009. And I am a little nervous/scared, cuz I'm not sure what to expect with the officer who is going to interview me. For all I know is that, I have to study a little bit of Civic and History test questions, and I'm pretty sure I can pass that part. But everything else Im nervous about. Im sure lots of you went through this process already. I guess I just want to know what to expect from them. By the way, I live in San Diego. Appreciate the answers.

Since my mother petitioned me, would they interview her also? Do you know what type of questions they would asked?. By the way, I really appreciate your answers davdah.
They'll probably want to make sure your mom is really your mom. Idea being to insure there is a bonafide relationship between the two of you. Worse case, they might ask you some questions that a child of a parent should know about their mother. Same goes for your mom, she'll have to be there. They may ask her some questions about you that a mother should know. Beyond that, not much will happen.

Leopoldo, it probably won't be that difficult either
Just relax, be yourself, and answer their questions openly and honestly. Do that and you'll be fine.
Afterwards, maybe you could come back and tell us what kind of questions were asked so that we'll be able to help the next person that comes along with the same query.
Good luck!

haha. No, acutally I just signed up lastnight (Pacific Time). I was searching around Google, and ran in to this site. So yes, I am new here..
One thing I forgot to mention. If your interview is in the Chula Vista office don't let the place intimidate you. It looks like a military bunker or ****eon with all the concrete and absense of windows. The halls are dimly lit and the offices give the appearance of no escape. Part of the psyc affect. Look at it this way. That place could withstand a nuclear blast, so at least you will be safe, LOL.

L0L. I've been to the Chula Vista one many times, I know exactly what you mean.haha. But fortunately, they sent me the notice letter, I will be interviewed in Downtown, which is in front street. Not in Chula Vista.
Nicer place but parking, unless you have clearance, is a bit.ch. If your appointment is in the morning better get there an hour early and pray to find parking. You'll need to go to one of those pay per hour lots. Best bet is up the hill a ways from there. It's about a 15 minute walk down the street but at least you won't end up driving in circles for an hour trying to find a place. Once your done take your mom out for some italian in the gas lamp. There's the place with the green awnings on fith I think. Service is terrible but the food more than makes up for it.

So, USCIS offices don't only look ugly here in NJ. When I went for the first time, I was shocked about the amount of dirt and clutter. Stained and loose ceiling tiles.
If I wouldn't have had been here for so long already, I'd probably said....Welcome to America! It's a shame if you ask me to have run-down offices like that.

It isn't so much ugly as it promotes a sense of doom, LOL. Very gray and lifeless. The walls look impenetrable and what windows there are, are high up preventing any access. The downtown office on Front St, that one is nice and fairly modern. It's got a large patio area and a spacious lobby. They've even got some decent cafeteria accommodations in there. But it does have that heavy sort of emptiness feel to it.
