May 2012 AOS Filers

[dwarf 0]

okay.we just got approved AOS recently.

The interview went smoothly. Took us like max 30 minutes. Most of the time the IO was just doing some paper works like browsing thru the papers we submit and quite a bit of questioning. Most of the questions dated back from the time we first met, and how the relationship transitioned. Similar to the visa interview I had in Manila for the K1.

Questions were basic stuff: how did you meet? what do you like doing together? IO asked about wife work and company? do u rent or own a house? Nothing really out of the extra ordinary question. She also ask one example of comingling document, whereby we showed our HMSA card (insurance). Then the rest were paper works, we signed and were told everything is good and just wait for the card in the mail in three weeks time.

Good luck to those on the AOS process.

Now, the real thing --> WORK and survivable in AMERICA! I'll be starting work on Monday as IT Desktop Support 1 (base salary i was able to negotiate 43k)

I wanted to ask from your experiences or if you can refer me to other sources, will the salary above be enough already for me and my wife? My wife also has work but in admin position. Do you think that salary is good enough for us? I kind of feel bad when my wife told me that this salary is still low I know she earns more than me, I just felt bad after her comments after I have gone through a pain thru the job interview process, I accepted the job and I was just thinking I'd take it just to keep me going.

Is that salary able to get me or my wife through? we are renting an apartment for 1250USD monthly, no kids.

your comments, feedbacks are very well appreciated.

Congrats and good luck for the job!

[Lilyena 10]

thanks. Yours will come too soon.

i did bring all the original taxes from when we file, all the original birth cert and marriage and latest bills. But the IO who interviewed us only ask for ID's and my passport with i-94. she never ask for any originals from the papers we submitted.

they say its different with everyone so just to be safe bring all the originals from which you submitted a copy and your latest bills and husbands latest payslip.

Good luck again to you!

Thank you! I guess I'll bring everything except our joint sponsors paper since I didn't make a copy and the interview notice says "unless already submited" so I guess we should be allright. I mean I don't see why they would write unless already submitted if you had to re bring it, same for the medical, i just have a copy of the vaccination record anyways..

I can't wait to get over it, because just after the interview we 're going on honeymoon in Maui! I can't wait!

I hope you receive your GC in hand soon!
