thanks for posting those questionnaires..im worried cuz i dont have the my college transcripts..will that affect the approval of my visa? i mean im just worried this is finally our chance to be together and i dont want to ruin it

I don't think it is a reason for denial, but I am sure that it depends on the situation. My husband was here in the US as an international student using an F-1 (international student visa). Since he was here for the purpose of getting an education, they wanted his transcripts for proof that he actually attended school here while here on a student visa.

Good luck, and best wishes with your interview!

We had our AOS interview at USCIS. We are a same sex couple and we were asked some basic questions about about each other, but we were asked a lot of questions about other issues. I am posting just in case any same sex couples out there prepping for interviews.

We did have the basic questions:

What is your spouse's birthday?

Where do you live?

Do you rent or own?

Who owns the house/leases the residence?

When did you move in together?

Whose phone number is this?

In addition to these questions, we had questions like:

When did you first know you were attracted to the same sex?

Did you ever date the opposite sex?

Were you ever married before? Apparently, state registered domestic partnerships also count if your state requires you to list them on the marriage certificate. My- I-130 application had to be changed to reflect formerly married - which was confusing since the Federal Govt does not recognize State Registered Domestic Partnerships.

The IO asked about dating history, and how long each relationship lasted

We took all of the listed documents as well as wedding pictures - you may want to bring duplicates of the photos, the IO asked to keep about 8 of our photos. We had all the standard documents like:

health insurance cards

auto Insurance cards

auto registration for jointly held vehicles

bank statements

loan statements

paystub for petitioner

dissolution order of previous domestic partnership

What we were asked for and did not have:

Joint cell phone account statement

College transcripts (AOS from F-1)

Paystubs for beneficiary

We did not receive an approval on site, but the USCIS site read "card production" at one point and now it went back to "decision"

I am a little late in the game posting here, but I have been lurking for a while.

We filed I-130 and I-485 concurrently at NBC on 7-24-2013. We recevied a NOA last week and had our inteview scheduled for 10-8-2013 in San Francisco, we are nervous this seems to be moving faster than others.

Partner is here on an F-1, we were married shortly after same sex marriage resumed in California and the Windsor decision became effective/implemented.

3-31-2010 Met while partner was here in US visitng family and looking at schools

1-20-2011 He entered on a F-1 Student Visa

7-5-2013 We were married at our home in California
