Biometrics Experience
Just came back with my wife from biometrics. I live near Buffalo NY (like my nickname doesn't hint that ), so it took us just 20 min to get there.

I have a Master’s Degree in Science. I have been awarded the final Degree certificate by the University. But I completed the conventional 2 year program in just 1 year. Will USCIS see my M.Sc degree incomplete?

My wife interview is scheduled on September 1st. And she is 38 weeks pregnant.
I havent posted my interview experience elsewhere, so am just going to write it in here. I must say that I was not too prepared for the interview (esp compared to most of you), since I had been traveling all that week, and since I am basically lazy
My interview was for 9am, so we reached the DO 15 min before 9. There was no line at security, and we quickly made our way to the upstairs waiting room. I must say that the security guy here was much nicer than the ones at the front.
Had my interview today and the officer who was a lady was awesome. Very friendly and she had no hidden agenda to try and prove our marriage wrong. This is how interviews for this should be versus some of the horror stories you hear.
The only document she asked for was to see originals of: marriage cert, birth cert of me and spouse. She then asked for any documents I had showing joint documents: I handed her bank acc, and medical document showing joint memberships. Thats it!! She didnt even ask to see 1 photograph!! She took I-94.

We were very impressed with Mr. Khanna's consultation. We found him to be very thorough, knowledgeable, precise and a down to earth professional. He understood the problem quickly and advised on the matter in a non-hurried manner-which we believe is very important to any person seeking his advice. We would highly recommend him for his services. We really appriciated his warm hearted treat, and we felt that both Mrs. Lombardo and Mr. Khanna helped us a lot. Thank you !
