CougarTown

Hey how did it go?!!

A little bit of a delayed post, but... I had to file my taxes as single since he does not have any SS#.

They probably won't split you up... I've read many other posts saying they were in and out within 10 minutes. Supposedly USCIS gets suspicious over large age gaps, spouses not speaking same language... stuff like that.

How was your biometrics appt? Our office (Norfolk, VA) - staff was very friendly, we were in and out of the building within 15 minutes. I assume the marriage interview will be similar. I'm scared of getting separated too - I don't remember which gifts we've given each other; I don't know what his favorite food is bc he loves everything; I don't know the date/place of many photos we have together; I don't even know what MY favorite color is lol. But I assume we won't be separated as long as we walk in [somewhat] calmly, dressed for an interview and obviously a couple, and present enough documents (joint lease, authorized user on all credit cards that would allow him without SSN, joint bank). I'm quite excited for this interview since we've been waiting for 2 years! Good luck!!

I have some more questions. We are still waiting for the offical marriage paperwork. I just wanted to ask how it is in the mean time? If, and I mean it never happened before in two 90 days stays, if I get carded by an police officer, what happens if they run my name or my ID or look in my passport?

I wouldn't worry. I got pulled a few months back with my husband as passenger. For whatever reason, they asked for his ID (which is odd, since I have never seen a passenger get carded... I suppose just racial profiling). He left his [expired] passport at home, told them he had no valid ID, and started to pull out the marriage certificate. They said "no worries, we don't need all that, just write down your full name". All was fine and they were back a few minutes later to let us leave. They did ask where he was from though, which again is odd.
