Hi all well my interview is this Wednesday, I am so nervous. I am not that great at talking to people under stress, But I am prepared...

I have put together a folder and photo albums for evidence, from when we started sating till one week ago. That is a total of 96 pictures going to them, I made copies of everything I ever recieved from USCIS, I made copies of everything to do with our relationship, medical coverage and ohh god the list goes on. I think I will bore them to death, I also brought a dvd of our wedding from the pro's that did it and also the family ones, There is nothing I left out...everything I recieved in the mail at my USA address.

Every wedding picture from the photographer, all our plane tickets right down to the luggage tags from trips, itineraries, lol...

Oh it is crazy.

A list of references of people that can verify our bonafide relationship... :blush:

Do you think that is enough.

Plz dont stress! The AOS interview is usually very easy going. We were nervous, not stressed but it was over in less than 5 minutes. He asked my husband (who is from Egypt) a list of questions that was on the forms. He asked him if he ever been married before, had kids anywhere in the world, what our home address was, what his bday was and if I was his wife and when our marriage date was. We gave him our water bill and electric bill bcz it has both our names on it, but he really wasnt interested in it and neither was he interested in pictures. He put the bills in his file folder but thats about it. He wanted to know from me about my 2 jobs and the paper work of them. Thats it .

It will go well for ya'll. Be prepared but not stressed! Take care!

Congrats on your interview, we were very nervous before ours,(I even took some beta blockers) but it really is not as bad as one can imagine, as long as you are confident and have documentation (which you do) you'll be just fine. our interview took about 10 min. very basic questions and some stories about our trip (I was suggesting IO where to stay and where not to stay) so it really is a conversation, again just be confident and make sure your answers are straight to the point, don't give more info than you are asked for. Just be happy. Good luck :)
