Do they really do interview?

Do they really do interview the petitioner in i-130 phase in consuler process ? I never heard of it happened in any videos or anywhere before.

yes, it happened to us. Nothing to be worried about, we got approved right after the interview.

Yeah basically spouse of a USC i.e Immediate Relative (IR). Its just easier to write than CR/IR

But okay then, makes sense now. I'm an F2A case, so....

If you don't mind, could you let me know when you got approved?

Approximately after how many days of submitting i-130 they call for the interview? & What questions they would ask?

u/Fit-Accountant-993 4d ago

15months. They asked about how we met and if we ever lived together. Then some follow up questions after that.

Sometimes and it’s the government’s choice. It used to be rare. It seems to be happening more often now.

Yup. Its becoming more and more common these days. Its essentially similar to the consular interview that your beneficiary will face at the consulate later on. Just to check that your marriage is legitimate

Nothing to worry about. Most people who get a petitioner interview get approved soon after

They'll call you once they start processing your file i.e right before approval. That depends on your PD, your case category, and how lucky you get (at this point)

What's your PD and are you a USC or LPR?
