So happy for you!!! We are still waiting for our interview date.
So happy for you!!! We are still waiting for our interview date.

So after 1:30 hr wait to talk to a supervisor he said I got a CC now!! Should I believe he did it just like that?? I asked him a few times just to make sure!!! Scan date for both IV and AOS sep 3.

I'm happy to report that Julie sailed through the interview (we were both there!), and got her passport back only two days later! No trick questions - mostly "How did you meet?".
The interviewer did pick up something on Julie's medical and flustered her a little. Julie was nervous because she had a stroke last year (oh, how horrible that was - I was in the US, and she was in Australia!), and as a result, they found out she had a hole in her heart. They were able to fix that, but she's on two blood pressure medications, and a stiff dose of Lipitor. She doesn't have high cholesterol, but after a stroke, BP meds are often paired with statins to make sure there aren't any more problems. So the guy said something about being monitored for high cholesterol, and it threw her because she doesn't HAVE high cholesterol! Of course, you don't get to read the medical report before your interview - so she had no idea what the doctor had put down.
Anyway, we got through it. 9 more days until POE at JFK!!!

What it refers to is that the marriage is not a sham and that it was not done with the purpose of getting residency in the USA. It's understood that if you marry a USC and it's truly a bona fide marriage then at some point you will want to legally be admitted into the USA to live with your spouse. That's what you start with the I-130 petition. Wanting to come here to join your spouse in a bona fide marriage is not illegal. But marrying someone just for the purpose of coming to the USA and adjusting status is. So if your marriage is bona fide you can truthfully sign the affidavits

I have had my fair share of horror stories at the border and a lot of those happened at land crossings, which I observes that the agents tend to be a lot more narrow minded there. I found it very insulting that before DOMA was repealed, it was bad either we claimed the same sex relationship or not. If not, they look through all your stuff while they belittle you and try to make a liar out of you. If so, they deny you as having immigrant intent. I have had more than one agents who accused me of wanting to "adjust my status" once I get into the US when I just asked him a simple "how" (before June 2013)?
It's unfortunate that the CBP tends to attract the worst type of personalities, those commando who think the whole world is out to do harm to the US. Worse, unlike your Police Department, many Constitutional rights are suspended during your inspection at the border, including your rights to counsel and your right to refuse search and illegal seizure. The agents know that much and take full advantage. They also know you have the right to have the case looked at by a supervisor and there is a phone that you could lodge a complaint, but after hours of interrogation, who in the right mind would fight that? Do you know there is a jail cell at most if not all POEs?
I would correct Juan Bravo on one count, even if your partner was denied entry, that has nothing to do with K1 because while it is categorized as an non-immigrant visa, it is dual intent, like the the H1-B. So even if your partner was denied entry based on having immigrant intent and he goes on to obtain a K1 visa. When he activate that at the border, he could display all the immigrant intents he wants and he can't be denied again based on that.
