I don't often post messages here but I use this web site endlessly and just wanted to say thank you for all the great input - it has been a lifesaver to my husband and I going through this process!!

I'm posting a message now because I'm a little in shock and don't know whether to be happy or suspicious! My husband called me at work Friday to say he had received a letter for our AOS interview date which is scheduled on 7/28/06 in Seattle. I was, and still am, completely in shock. Our NOA1 for our AOS package was 6/14/06 and he just had his biometrics appointment last week. Anyone ever had an interview date scheduled less than 45 days from their NOA1 date?!!

If we are lucky then it is primarily due to this website in helping us prepare. But, I know that so many things can come up unexpectedly, and things can easily go wrong, so I guess I would say I'm approaching this good news with reserved optimism!

WooHoo! Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.. it happens fast sometimes.

Anticipating your next concern---they will understand that you have not been married long. Assemble the evidence that you can & try to not worry. :)

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Other Fora I Post To:

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Met, married, immigrated, naturalized.

Thanks everyone for your support.

I have, over the weekend, been trying to think of what to bring as evidence. Hopefully they will be understanding during the interview considering we have only been married just over a month! :unsure:
