Hi everyone!

just a quick question, we have just received our AOS interview letter and one of the items they ask us to bring with us is the documentation establishing my eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident.

I'm assuming this means all my NOAS and also marriage certificate, ect. I entered the country on the VWP.

Can anyone out there shed some light please?

Hi!

Marriage certificate it is. You should probably also bring evidence you have that when youentered US undr WWP you didn`t have intent to immigrate cus thats making yo uneligible I think. Also bring your hubby`s papers proving US citizenship, cuz only spouses of USCs are eligible to adjust status in US.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

I have my lease from the UK, letters from my previous employer in the UK stating I had a contract with them until the end of the academic year. I entered the US in December 07 and the lease for my apartment was valid until Sept 08 the same with my job in the UK, I worked in education and we get our contracts renewed every academic year, also the fact I was unable to get married when I entered since I was in the middle of divorce process, also i have my bank account still open in the UK and my belongings are all there with my friends... Would that be enough proof?

Well, I was not WWP but according to the other VJ member`s stories you shoud be fine with that. Also (I edied my previous post) bring papers proving your hubby`s US citizenship because only spouses of USCs can adjust their status while in US.

Perhaps, but it would depend on the plausibility of your story that accompanies the evidence. In relation to your most recent US entry, when did you decide to marry?

He asked me to marry him after I entered the country. In fact it was right before I was about to go back to the UK. It was far too hard to be apart, emotional hardship as they call it.

Around a month. In fact he proposed at the airport. I could not take the flight and decided to go back home and change the flight since I still had a few days off available before i had to go back to work. On the way back we thought about asking an immigration paralegal about our case and that is when they advised us that my status could be adjusted after he proposed. They also said it would be hard since I would not be able to leave the country or work, etc for a long time, but we were willing to go through all the hard steps just so we could be together.

Sorry I meant that my status could be adjusted after we got married. Again, it was tough since I was unable to get married and had to wait for the final divorce papers to go through before we were able to marry. There was no intention of marriage when I crossed the port of entry.

The story sounds good to me. I'd bring any evidence of the "hardship" like the correspondence with your jobe and landlord etc.

Deciding to marry one month after beginning a visit will bring extra scrutiny but it sounds like you can deal with it.

Hi everyone!

just a quick question, we have just received our AOS interview letter and one of the items they ask us to bring with us is the documentation establishing my eligibility for Lawful Permanent Resident.

I'm assuming this means all my NOAS and also marriage certificate, ect. I entered the country on the VWP.

Can anyone out there shed some light please?

Hi!

Marriage certificate it is. You should probably also bring evidence you have that when youentered US undr WWP you didn`t have intent to immigrate cus thats making yo uneligible I think.

Good luck!

Thanks so much!

I have my lease from the UK, letters from my previous employer in the UK stating I had a contract with them until the end of the academic year. I entered the US in December 07 and the lease for my apartment was valid until Sept 08 the same with my job in the UK, I worked in education and we get our contracts renewed every academic year, also the fact I was unable to get married when I entered since I was in the middle of divorce process, also i have my bank account still open in the UK and my belongings are all there with my friends... Would that be enough proof?

Perhaps, but it would depend on the plausibility of your story that accompanies the evidence. In relation to your most recent US entry, when did you decide to marry?

He asked me to marry him after I entered the country. In fact it was right before I was about to go back to the UK. It was far too hard to be apart, emotional hardship as they call it.

How long had you been here when he proposed?

Around a month. In fact he proposed at the airport. I could not take the flight and decided to go back home and change the flight since I still had a few days off available before i had to go back to work. On the way back we thought about asking an immigration paralegal about our case and that is when they advised us that my status could be adjusted after he proposed. They also said it would be hard since I would not be able to leave the country or work, etc for a long time, but we were willing to go through all the hard steps just so we could be together.

Sorry I meant that my status could be adjusted after we got married. Again, it was tough since I was unable to get married and had to wait for the final divorce papers to go through before we were able to marry. There was no intention of marriage when I crossed the port of entry.

The story sounds good to me. I'd bring any evidence of the "hardship" like the correspondence with your jobe and landlord etc.

Deciding to marry one month after beginning a visit will bring extra scrutiny but it sounds like you can deal with it.

Thanks so much
