Tampa AOS interviews

Alright,  first off thank you to everyone that helped me out with what to bring!

We showed up with about 30 pounds of paperwork, photos, tax returns, wedding albums, cards.



Our appointment was at 1 pm, we arrived around 12:15. We got in the lineup, and waited. and waited and waited. (got a little warm considering it is still in the high 80s, 90s) At about 12:55 they let us in along with a swarm of other people coming in for the same thing (and some naturalization cases) We signed in, and waited right up at the door to be called.
