APRIL FILERS

[~krakatoa~ 27]

Hi everybody!!! I am a conditional permanent Resident!!! we did it!!! well, let me tell you about my interview. My interview was at 10am, and we arrived there at 9:50. We waited for half an hour, and when I was in the bathroom they asked for my name....I always do the same.... . The IO had a realy serious face, she wasn't smiling at all. She made us swear that we were going to say the truth. After that, she asked for my passport, driver's license, EAD and AP. She asked too for my husband's birth certificate. Then she asked us when and where we meet. ANd after that we had to show her some photos. She saw all the photos, and other things as letter from family members, boarding passes for common trips...She asked if we were living together, how long we have been living together in the present address, and then we had to give her leases, bills in both names, my husband's life insurance with my name as a beneficiary...

Then she asked my husband is he would mind doing the interview in spanish. He said no. And he started speaking in spanish. She was impressed, and she relaxed after that. I guess, it made a good impresion that my husband speaks my country's language!!

After that, she started asking me what I was studying...blah, bla, bla.....and after that she approved us!! she told me that my name was cleared and that from today I am a conditional permanent Resident.

One advice for all of you that will have the interview soon: keep everything organized, like in different plastic folders or something like that, so you can find everything fast. Be serious but relaxed..and good luck to everybody. If I've been able to do it (I get super nervous for this kind of things), you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANd thanka you for your support!!! Good luck everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Note: she didn't stamp my passport, but told me that I would get my greencard in two weeks)

CONGRATS Burke!!! Good job Now you can look forward to that plain white envelope with the mysterious card inside (that would look like a junk mail but isn't )

Congrats Burke! Well, my wife just called because something came in the mail.....an RFE for a medical. The letter said there was some form missing and she needed a full medical, not jsut a supplement. I'm going to post the letter later this evening. She has the option of seeing if her what she has submitted will work. She's calling now to try and clear up the situation. D'oh!

My wife called USCIS and the guy was helpful. He said it's recommended we get the full medical, otherwise she could have to go back to Canada and we'd have to start all over again. He also said this isn't what slows things down. It's the background checks.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION (FORM I-693)

NOTE: All medical examinations and vaccination must be conducted and administered by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS. To obtain the names and telephone numbers of designated civil surgeons etc. etc................

A review of the record indicates that you entered the United States pursuan to a valid K-1/K-2 nonimmigrant visa. All USCIS records relating to you have been reviewed. The U.S Department of State medical forms DS-2053, DS-3024, DS-3025 and DS-3026 are not in any of those records.

I-693 MEDICAL EXAMINATION: Please submit a properly completed and signed Form I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. The medical examination must be conducted by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS.

This looks like all we're waiting on is the medical.
