I am getting very worried now. Still didn't change. Did you every had an initial rEwiev for your gc? Or it just changed from acceptance to interview? It's more than two weeks after my fingerprints dat

SERIOUSLY? I HAD TO WAIT 8 MONTHS AND SHE STILL GETS A DATE BEFORE MINE!!!!!! RIDICULOUS!!! OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!!

haha, CONGRATULATIONS! you are part of the Dallas family on February VJ now!!!

I'm glad you pursued it, and this just confirms what I thought I saw.... Ladies (and me), Come October 31, 2014 we will all be Permanent Residents of the US. Congrats in advance

I know right :) I felt bad to post my update in the August 2014 thread because I felt bad to jump ahead of everyone else.

I guess this is the only upside to a deployment. :)

Congratulations to you as well :)

Does anyone have any suggestions on organizing documents and evidence for the interview?

Oh and I have one more question: Did any of you use a lawyer to file your case? Are you bringing the lawyer to the interview? If so, if you don't mind me asking, how much is the lawyer charging just to go to the interview?

It is recommended I bring a lawyer to the interview. The lawyer who filed my case is a top dog lawyer who cannot attend the interview with me due to other engagements and would anyways have cost me a bazillion dollars so I wouldn't have asked her to. I am looking for a lawyer in Dallas to only attend the interview with me.

ladyliberty - My attorney is coming with us to the interview. I paid them to file for us, they've been with us throughout the entire process. I didn't know you could hire an attorney for just the interview part... it seems odd your "top dog lawyer" wouldn't attend the interview with you since it should be part of his fee to begin with.. weird.

Tratsing,

Ya, I have a pretty long and complicated story.

So, my husband was an F1 student but joined the US army through a special program called MAVNI (look it up) and got expedited naturalization. SO he went from F-1 student to Citizen in two months. So when I started my AOS packet,(I was an F-1 too)I didn't know much about the process and hired a lawyer ( the top dog lawyer) who actually birthed this MAVNI program. She is an army vet and presented this program to congress and got it approved and all that big stuff. She is based in Alaska. I didn't know much about the process then or else I would have looked for a lawyer in Dallas. So, we just paid her to file our papers. If I want her to come to my interview, I have to pay for her ticket, hotel, and per hour rate for the time she is at the interview. I would not have done that anyways, but, she is not available on my interview day because she has a big presentation that day, related to her program,in some other state. So, you see, my fault for not thinking of all these details. And yes, it is possible to get a lawyer only for the interview. That is what my lawyer does most of the time- just files the papers and then connects the client with a local lawyer for the interview. She connected me with one, But I want to compare a couple so I know I am not getting ripped off.

So, that my friend, is my crazy story.

I will be so glad when I say goodbye to USCIS in a few years. :wacko:

vxb110530 - I really hope you don't get any trouble or harsh treatment because you're asian! Maybe those are just fabricated stories from people who's cases were suspicious, so they had to be interviewed separately to prove true marriage. I wouldn't worry about it if you have nothing to hide ;)

macruff - I'm totally jealous too haha! Hey, where are you from? I'm in here on a real computer (haven't been in ages) and noticed you don't have a flag showing :P

Lol, I know. :bonk:

But, ya the way we are immigrating is so darn unique that our reasoning at that point was to go with the lawyer who initiated the program.

Just hired a lawyer in Dallas so it is all good.

OH and to make this even more interesting, I don't live in Dallas. I live in a small town in Texas which falls under Dallas field office' jurisdiction. So I have to fly to Dallas for the interview. I think I need to write a book about my immigration process. Hehe.

Ladyliberty, I honestly don't think it's necessary to have the lawyer attend the interview with you. I had a lawyer filed for me too but she is not going to come with us to the interview because we did not hire her. She is a friend of my cousin's and she was just helping us out. She does not live in Dallas either.

Thanks Tratsing for your encouragement. :star::star::star:

Ladyliberty: Lawyers help, but you don't need one. If your marriage is real, you should be able to leave your interview fulfilled no matter the inquiry. The purpose of the lawyer is to stop then from asking ridiculous questions like what's his best sexual position and things of sort. But you know your husband and he knows you so that shouldn't be a problem. To me, a lawyer is a waste of hard earned money. But, this is just my opinion.
