Well seeing as your going to Newark like we did...

We had an album full of 200 photos. The officer flipped through each and every page and asked questions. They were more of casual conversation questions though, and not ones of interrogation. But our officer did stress that she felt these were some of the most important pieces of evidence one can bring in, in her opinion.

So on the off chance you get her, bring in as many as you can! Honestly, I think you will be fine with what you have. Quantity should not matter. All ours were originally digital too I suggest kodak.com. They sell them for very cheap. We got about 150 of our photos printed from there and it came out to like $25, including shipping. They're wonderful quality too.

Congrats on the fast NOA! I see you live in Tucson. I lived there a good portion of my life and miss it tremendously. I am terribly jealous!

That's too bad! Frustrating to see him cross out the stamp, I'm sure! But at least you know you'll be approved once everything clears.

It seems like this is a standard thing now to have approval pending while they do the FBI check. I can't imagine it takes very long.

But congrats on the soon-to-be approval!

Aw this news is both happy and sad. At least you know that your application is now being processed and ignored. But I am sorry to hear the news was only a tease.

With luck they decided to just transfer you to the CSC instead, since it's been so long!

You were quite lucky! Congatulations! Just kick back and wait for your welcome letter and shiny new green card to arrive

Congratulations! The interview letter has a list of all you need.

Passport for both of you, birth certificates for both, three years worth taxes (or whatever you can provide), I-693 medical supplement, letter of employment, paystubs, joint bank statements, any insurance or credit card statements you may have, junkmail, christmas and wedding cards addressed to both, any joint magazine subscriptions, as many photos as possible and stuff like that. If you have a sponsor, bring an I-864 for both your sponsor (the petitioner) as well as your cosponsor.

Good luck!!

Congratulations! The paperwork isn't fun, but the interview is a breeze.

Good luck!

Yay congrats!! I'm so happy to see that your case is moving along so smoothly now!!!

Congrats on your EAD!

I live in NJ and my husband just had his interview in Newark. He had his interview exactly 6 months from his date of entry into the US. It was quite shocking that it went this fast. It seems like USCIS is speeding through new cases lately!

Good luck!

Congrats on the green card. But you and your husband do have my thoughts and prayers right now. I am only sending good vibes your way.

Take care.

I freaked out when we got out letter. Like...FREAKED. Everyone on this forum remembers! Then I felt really calm and sure about it for months. Then 2 days before, I freaked again. And now I realized how silly I was being, because it was not that big a deal...at all. It was like being back in the embassy for a K-1 visa. You will be fine, I promise you.

It's scary, because your whole world and future is riding on this one decision on Wednesday. It frightens you. But it's that big decision that scares you, because it means so much to you. Were this a small issue about something else in life, it wouldn't seem so bad. So just try and keep calm, because the interview is thorough, but a breeze and you seem to have your evidence in order.

Once it's done, you'll laugh about being so worried.

GOOD LUCK and keep us posted!

I don't think you will be fined for that. My husband and I were married 9 days after he entered the US and they didn't say a word about it. I also saw someone on here once who was married only 1 day after she entered the US. So you have nothing to worry about there.

Good luck with the interview!

Don't worry about the processing times. I was incredibly discouraged too. But my husband entered the US 6 months ago and we got his AOS package out about 5 1/2 months ago, and we just recently were approved for a green card last week. So things seem to have sped along, for lots of people recently.

Thinking of you guys and sending lots of luck your way!

Of course don't forget both your passports, both your birth certificates, a marriage certificate and all those things. If you're working, do you have a letter from your employer stating your salary? Are you on any utility bills?

Good luck!!

This shouldn't be a problem. As long as you are above the guidelines and he is filling out a new aff showing his income changes, this should be fine.

Good luck on the interiew!

You need to include both the fingerprint fee and the application fee for the EAD in one combined check. I think it was $175 total when I sent out our package in September.

Congratulations on the approval and good luck with straightening out your address issue!

It could mean anything. It probably means they're moving it around and looking at, cashing the check and whatnot. But when they send out the NOA1, it should show you've been touched around that time, as well.

Strange that you were touched over the weekend, but hey who's complaining? Hopefully this touch means good things to come for you in the near future!

We received a stamp at JFK as well, and looking at a copy of our form, I see we checked "No" and I believe we left it at that. And it all worked out okay. I think once they see that you entered in at NYC in JFK, they put two and two together.

I guess if you wanted to be safe, you could include a copy of the stamp, but I know we didn't.

Sorry to hear the EAD hasn't been coming along and you may have wasted a fee. Still, I suppose it's better to know that you have the interview now and won't have to worry about the EAD, rather than not knowing when he can work at all!

Congrats on the interview letter!

Yeah definitely just a copy. At the interview they will rip it out of your passport and keep it for filing.

Yes, fear not! Initial interview with the hope the first will go well and be the only one. Otherwise if they have suspicion that your relationship isn't genuine, I believe they call you in for a second, more intensive interview.

But the interview is a breeze. You will have no problems.

Congrats on getting the interview date!

Wow that was a long wait for you guys! I am so happy to hear it all paid off Congratulations!
