congratulations

and btw iam also sick and tired of people who assuming visa frau because its not....i married also under VWP and they did not ask about in the interview...and when u read the instruction for 485 u will find that its permitted to adjust status when u are a spouse of a us citizen...

when i had the interview they want to see that u have an bona fide marriage thats all!!!

they didnt ask anything else!!!

so good luck for u:-))

Congrats :dance: We have the same date for the interview.

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!

that was really fast.. did u do something special? can you share? :help::innocent:

congrats!! :)

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: Oh.. i didnt know that VWP can adjust status. Am so happy for you.. Best of luck! (F)

Even you're USCIS, you should investigate their case before you say something. I want to smack your mouth.

I don't see what the fuss is with his comments. he was merely offering a dose of reality. makes no difference if everybody is all happy and wishing the OP well. the fact is there are still questions that could complicate the OP's case and i think old dominion was just basically saying 'let's not get ahead of ourselves until u in the clear?'

Exactly. From the Customs & Border Patrol Agency website:

Q: What Are the Disadvantages of Using the VWP?

A: If you are admitted to the United States under the VWP, you may not change or extend your non-immigrant status. If your admission is denied, you have no right to administrative or judicial review, except as noted above. Likewise, if you are found to have violated the terms of your admission, you also forfeit the right to contest a removal order and to enter under the VWP ever again. Therefore, before using the VWP, you should carefully consider your options.
