    No one else was in the hall with us...the only extra people I saw in the waiting area were persons who had interpreters for their interviews. Hubby and 2 kids stayed in the car and they came out after I was done so we can take pics outside the building. The whole thing lasted 5-7 mins( the majority of that was for all of us verifying the information the certificate is correct and handing over green cards) less than 20 of us at my time. We then recited the oath and left.

    Thank you for your responses. :)  No worries, my family can stay in the car.

     

  2. Good morning,

     

    To those who took their Oath in this office, were they strict with not having anyone with you inside?  My husband is hoping to be a part of it, and we got 2 small kids, too.  If not, they would need to stay in the car again.  During my interview, the letter said no one is allowed but me, but I saw several people with either their spouses or whole family with them in the waiting room (I observed only one person is the interviewee from those groups).

     

    Thanks in advance for the responses.

  6. Your timeline looks Good and seems like a smooth one beside the lil wait like everyone else has. I didn't submit any evidence for our ongoing relationship. I figure we can submit evidence during interview if needed. Still no update on AOS. I was told by an USCIS rep that my local office is currently working on cases from November still. That we could be waiting for another 7-8 months to hear anything about AOS

    Well... we tried to open a joint bank account and my husband tried to add us to his insurance/s, but all were denied since we do not have SS numbers yet. I didn't get one when I arrived because I want all my IDs in my married name, and to avoid all the hassles of name change - personal choice though.

    I'm sorry about the wait. Delaware is such a small state, so I figured they do not do a lot of AOS in our local office too. But hey, your glass is half full -- your EAD/AP is approved, right? Being employed is such a good way to keep busy while waiting.

    Your good news is coming, too! And it will be sooner than later :)

  7. Congratulations...GC is way better than EAD..!! Are you adjusting from K1?

    Thank you!

    Yes, K1 and K2. A couple of things got me worried. First is, we did not not include any proof of "on-going" relationship at all. All I submitted was our wedding pictures. Second, we did not submit the form i-693 - just our vaccine records. So I feel like our application was really "touched by an angel" :)

    But you know what they say: If there's no change of status within the first couple of months after submitting your application, then it's most likely approved. :)

  8. Hello everyone! I do not constantly post, so you may not know me a lot. But I constantly read, so I feel like I know all of you by heart. LOL!

    Anyway, I hope this post will give hope to those with the same timeline as mine. Hang in there... with patience and prayers, our GCs will all be on-hand. Then, 2 years of rest, and then we'll do all these all over again, LOL. :)

    Good luck

    Ours said: Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery.

    I requested our passports to be delivered to our house, so I'm not sure if I'm going to get them this week. If not before Christmas, hopefully before the new year. :)

    Good luck to you too!!!

  12. Congratulations.

    I know!!! We just can't wait to be together. Well, I can use the 30 days too to spend as much time as I can with family and friends. Also to make sure that I'm not leaving anything important behind.

    I'm very thankful for you -- you have been a wonderful offline and online support. I wish you the best, and I hope we keep in touch.

    Blessings back!

  14. Congrats! :dance:

    It is rather common over this past year that the CO does not take the support documents, but they are still listed as required on the embassy instructions letter - so still best to have them .. as souvenirs maybe.

    Very happy that it went smooth and easy for you. :):thumbs:

    Congratz on your approval owensmj27 and mcssae7883...!

    Congratulations. What a happy occasion. Have a beer and talk about the future. What a day!!

    Thank you everyone! The joy cannot be explained :)

    Hank and Greenbaum, your websites are such a great help! I got them bookmarked and I will surely use them until maybe Naturalization, lol.

    God bless all you helpful buddies here at VJ!

  15. Waaaahhhhhh teary-eyes :crying: I'm so happy for you she.. Finally it's over, early Christmas gift (L) blessings indeed.. Been waiting for this update since 10am lol :joy::dance: Thank you Lord :wub:

    Awww... You're making me cry. Thank you Jesus, indeed. And thank you sooooo much! *virtual hug* you have been one of my strong support systems. I'll be looking out for you and the progress of your application too. Please, please don't hesitate to send me a PM if you need help or have questions. And IF I'm still here when you do your medical and interview, just let me know if you have some free time. :)

    We got out of the embassy at about 8:30am. My K2 and I had a celebratory pizza and ice cream before heading home. And I called my fiancé, woke him up to bring him the good news.

    Here's the full review of my interview experience at USEM Manila:

  16. Yes, i knew that feeling. I did not sleep good also last night until this afternoon when i go home.hahahaha! Im planning to do my CFO next month i think no more slot for this month and maybe on the last week of January or 1st week of Feb i will be leaving. Thanks in advance.

    Just be relax and answer all the questions honestly. You will be good.

    Hello everyone! :)

    My K2 and I got home a couple of hours ago from our interview. Except for the rain that poured very heavily the moment we got in front of the US Embassy, our overall experience was wonderful -- very smooth and easy. Rains are blessings after all. :)

    "Everything looks good. Your visa is approved. You may go home and expect your passports in about a week." Those were the sweetest words I heard since the approval of our petition!

    The photos nor the affidavit of support weren't even asked for and looked at, lolol. At least we have souvenirs and something to show our grandchildren, lol. My CFO is scheduled on January 5th and we plan to leave the country on January 28th. Hey, we might be in the same airport, who knows, lol.

    Good luck with the rest of the process. And thank you so much for the support :) Aja aja!

    Thank you to this group and some of the ppl here who became my VJ buddies along the way. It's a bittersweet feeling to "graduate" from this forum.. But I am mostly happy about how everyone is progressing.

    Good luck and I wish everyone an easy and blessed K1 process up to our POEs, weddings, AOS, Naturalization, and happy ever after! :)

  18. Good luck for the interview tomorrow.

    Hey Phil, thanks for the good luck wishes! My nerves are so active that I'm not even sure if I can sleep tonight, lol. I read on your other post that you got approved.. Congratulations, I'm sooo happy for you!!! When do you plan to do your CFO and POE? I wish you good luck too on your journey. Welcome to America! :)
