Bit of background:

Met husband online. I am from the UK. Came to the U.S and back to UK on VWPx3, applied for B2, came in on a B2 in 2001. Lived with my husband from day one, although we never married till 2006. I overstayed since 2001 to present. I have 2 UK kids and have a 1 yr old USC baby.

Got a lawyer. Applied for AOS just before the fee increase (July 07). Had medicals. Got transfered to CSC then back to MSC. Got interview date for today (Feb 8, 08) at 7.30am. (#######???) I took photos dating back to 2000. We had a civil wedding in our lunch hour, so no wedding pics, just family pics. Took car ins. in both name, cable bill in my name, bank statements in both names, deeds to our house, car note payment booklet, void check with both names and all original birth certs. marriage cert. etc

We arrived at 7am to meet the lawyer in parking lot. We all dressed business casual. Signed in, lawyer gave officals out appt. letters. We waited 20 minutes and went in. The IO went through our forms, asked name, address, DOB and when I last entered the U.S (2001) then he asked if I had since leaft and returned, I said no. Then he went through the kids forms, name, address, DOB. He took and looked at our passports and wrote down the passport numbers then gave them back. Flicked through the file and said "Ok, you should get your greencards within a couple of weeks!" Then talked to us about citizenship. That was it! Did not even look at ANYTHING I brought, even originals!!! Never mentioned my overstay (I was panicing about this) NOTHING!

SUPER nice, polite guy.

Thats all, just wanted to share the experience as I have been searching for interview experiences for months!

I think it was the kids, especially the USC kid that played a big part in how easy this went!

Rough timeline:

July 26 - 07 - Send AOS package

August - RFE for medicals

September - Biometrics

October - tranfered to CSC, 2 wks later file was transfered back.

December sometime - interview letter

Feb 08 - interview
