We had our interview this morning at 9:45 at the Sacramento USCIS office and were approved on the spot after some very tough questioning for half an hour. We were accompanied by our lawyer and I was really getting worried that IOS was not going to approve us as he kept hammering us with repetitive questions for half the interview about our intent when my husband entered the US 7 years ago. He asked us how we met and the timeline of my trips to Costa Rica and why my husband overstayed his business visa. He reviewed in detail the visa interview at the US Embassy in Costa Rica from over 7 years ago and verified that I was the person accompanying my husband to that interview. He was starting to ask for verification about my corporation in Costa Rica then noticed that all the verifications were on file from the visa interview 7 years ago. He asked both of us about 5 times in different ways the intent when my husband came to US. After about 15 minutes of hammering away at us on those questions he switched to asking us questions about accounts in common and checking out checking books which showed we were living at the same address since early 2007 and my husband had even made payments for furniture for the house from the checking account he opened in February 2007 at our common address. He looked at the financial records a little and then asked for photos. We showed him photos from the time we met in person in May 2006 until our recent Blessing of our Civil Marriage that we celebrated like a large wedding with 170 guests last Monday on the 7th anniversary of my husband arriving in the US. When then offered to provide more documentation and he said that's enough to clearly establish our relationship and all he has to do is check the background check and will approve the AOS this afternoon. He kept about 15 of our original photos, many from when we first met and photos of us together with friends and family over the past 7 years, and a couple of our photos from the wedding. One of the photos iI provided s where we are kissing during the Blessing Ceremony. Yes, we are really gay. smile.png

As we were leaving the office, my husband nearly fainted and fell against the wall in relief that it was over. The lawyer told us that she thought that she was going to have to intervene and start asking the IOS why he was asking so many questions about something that already been established with the granting of the business visa back in 2007. Then when he turned to the photos and quickly said he was going to approve the application, she realized that what he was doing was shoring up our application so that two years from now there would be no unanswered questions for the next IOS to ask that could potentially cause us problems down the road. Either way, we went through the trial by fire over intent and overstaying the visa and came out the other side successfully. Now, I can buy my husband his plane ticket to go back to visit his family in Costa Rica for the first time in 7 years!

Congratulations, TicoLover!!! I too am going to visit my family soon. So happy for you. :)

Bit of a problem here. I already received my Approval notice & Welcome notice in the mail. I also received an email & text that my gc has been mailed last week, but then my case status online went back to Decision. Does that mean they need to make further reviews and my card wasn't mailed yet? I already bought tickets to visit my family end of next week. Now I'm thinking of rescheduling my flight. cray5ol.gif
