So today.... I was coming home from work and my hubby was waiting for me on the porch with great news!

He received a letter from homeland security asking him to appear for his AOS interview on 4-21-09!

Its hard to believe since we filed all the paperwork on Feb 9th 2009. So in 2 months, 11 days we'll be interviewing!

I guess if they give us an approval on that day, we wont be needing the EAD or the AP!

Wow.... I can't believe it!!!! I guess living in the boonies has some advantages after all... :dance:

Is that fast or what?!

Well, we are one of those "Hush-Hush" couples who went the VWP-AOS route.

We didn't think it would have gone THAT fast, and also the fact that we live in a remote area might

help a little bit cutting down on the wait...

We have only a month to gather together all the documents they are requesting! Yikes!

Wow, that was quick! I'm so jealous. Best wishes to you at the interview.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
