Yeah it sounds like they want to question us, but we are not scared and have nothing to hide. We will prepare as well and we are not sure about taking that same attorney again with us. We requested another attorney from the same law firm that we signed up with but they are quite reluctant to assign another one. We dont know what to do since we have already paid them a lot of money and if we take the case to another firm they will most likely charge as again. so we will see if we can find a solution to this.

Thanks for all your replies btw and I will keep you posted on what happened.

Hey guys:

Just a quick update in our case. Its 12.00 am and we are both super dead. We had our second AOS interview today in Chicago. We were separated and questioned for three hours. No discrepancies at all. We got APPROVED.

I did notice in the Chicago office the attorneys were constantly told to be quiet and sit down....in the waiting room!! LMAO

I am soooo glad I did all this by myself with only the help of all of you on Visajourney.

I hope he isnt charging you for the extra visit.....if thats the case, time to kick him to the curb!!
