Following is an e-mail I received from a client who had recently gone through their Adjustment Interview.  I like to post these summaries if possible — it gives everyone a feel for what they can expect.   The client said that I could post it, and I have removed all identifying information.

The short of it is, thank you so much for all your help, Gunnar! I got my actual Green Card in the mail today (one week after the interview) That was a surprisingly quick turnaround since the interview.

Just for your interest — the interview itself was about as you described. It was not high pressure, they kept us together, and they didn’t ask us any difficult questions.

• She asked us about some of our biographical information (age, parents, place of birth) but nothing in too much detail.
• She asked us how we met.
• She asked us where we lived, and for a copy of our new lease.
• She asked if we had been previously married, and if we were still married to each other.
• She asked where we got married and who was in attendance. She was surprised when we said no one attended, and asked us why we didn’t invite anyone.
• We replied that we would be inviting our friends and family to a ceremony in later in the year. When she asked for evidence that we were planning for a future ceremony, we gave her the receipt from the down payment on our reception.
• She told us that we would be recommended for approval and that we should expect the Green Card in six weeks.
• The interview lasted about 30 minutes in total.

I can’t guarantee that every interview will go this smoothly, but many of them do!
