Well, my husband was finally called in on December 30. (Filed on 10/24/02).
We went in at 10 a.m., met with the officer, who took husband's fingerprints. Asked him bunch of questions from the applications (i.e. regarding drugs, prostitution, involvment in the Communist party, etc). Asked about what he does for a living. Went through the checklist:
Passport, visa, birth certificate, marriage, divorce certificates, prove of a bonafide marriage. We gave him birth certificate of our daughter. Asked for other proof too. We gave him pics of the wedding and the birth of the baby pic and others.
Then he asked me for the original of my citizenship certificate and a divorce paper from a previous marriage. I told him that we only brought papers that were asked on the letter for the interview and he said that he doesn't care, that he needs the originals of those too. He did find a copy of my divorce paper, but could not find a copy of my citizenship certificate. He still wanted originals of those 2 papers. He wrote on a form what exactly he needs, then looked in the computer and notified us that no matter what had happened at the interview, my husband would not be able to get his stamp today, because his background check was not done yet and he has no timeline for that. We asked him if we could bring the papers that he needed that same day and he said that it was ok, but that he wouldn't be able to get the stamp anyway because of the lack of the background check.
He asked if we had any questions and I told him that the sooner my husband gets his residency, the better it is for his educational loan issue. That he would get a different interest. He said that if we could get papers from my husband's college regarding this matter, he might be able to expedite the background check, but that it has to go through 3 other supervisors first.
So we went back to my husband's college, I in the mean time, ran home and got the two originals he wanted. My husband got a letter from the financial department stating that his interest rate would drop tremendeously if he would be a resident. He accepted the papers and said that he will personally try to expedite the background check and that it'll take probably another month. He stated that otherwise we past the interview. That we should just wait for the letter from him. Then my husband needs to go and get the stamp in the passport without another appointment time.
So, there is good news and bad news. Now we just have to wait for the letter.
