Got there at 6am and there were already about 80 people ahead of us.

At 6:15 they started handing out tickets. At 7:30 we had ours.

Went inside to sit down and at 7:45 our number came up. Handed over copies of the I-765 and I-485 receipt notices (it speeds up things if they do not have to make the copies) and newly filled out I-765s (they want them).

Our case was initially filed with VSC in March, 2001 (EB2 and future-employment based, the petitioning company is located in NJ and we always work in California).

11:15 Went through security then directed to the appropriate waiting room;



There were other couples, and I must say the office really looked busy as there were many IO’s. Well I assumed they were at the rate in which families being interviewed were going in and out.



Our chance came eventually and we were called in by a fine lady, whose first thing was to swear us in. She appeared like she wanted to laugh through some of the proceedings although she kept a serious look.



Some of the questions asked;

We are back from San Antonio and I was APPROVED!!!!

My in-laws have been issued visitor's visa on 28th at Chennai.



Some points:

* I have sent the sponsor documents.

* Advised them to take special care about arrangement and presentation of the papers

* I have sent two sets of originals/copies for them.

* Trained them on the possible questions and the answers.

*They are both around 70 years of age.

*This is their first interview and they have never visited any foreign country.



The questions they faced:

I thought this info might benefit some people.

My FIL entered US end of July '04. His 6months stay expired end of Jan '05. Our request to extend the stay was denied and he left within 10days of receipt of that letter. But he returned in 4 wks from India (he left on Feb 6th '05, returned on March 3rd '05). At POE in Los Angeles, they questioned him, but finally gave him 6months stay on I-94. He has a multiple entry visa.
