Scandi

Probably because they have no way of collecting the fee afterwards, if they do call you for a bio appointment.

No need to overthink anything, just scan your docs and upload them. If they have any questions they will ask you at the interview. Likely they won't care about your evidence at al since you already sent a lot with your ROC. Just upload a few docs, you can bring more to the interview if you want to.

So jealous, I would LOVE to have my own bedroom so I could get better sleep. 😭 Having a whole queen size bed to yourself is what dreams are made of.

Everyone I know that had travels scheduled after the interview, let the IO know at the time of the interview, so they wouldn't be called for an oath until they were back in the US again.

What do you mean by "during her stay here"? You make it sound like she has no plans on moving to the US, only staying briefly?

Legally she cannot work without having both SSN and a document allowing her to work (EAD in her case). My husband was self-employed and mostly working from home when I moved here and obviously I helped him with his work instead of just sitting around. Would've been super awkward staying in bed all day while he was working hard in the next room. 🤣

It's almost certain that you will have an interview for either the AOS or the ROC. Since you didn't have one for AOS you're very likely to have one for ROC instead. Only in rare cases both interviews are waived, so don't count on that happening. The interviews are super easy and nothing to worry about. I always loved the interviews when I went through the process, it was fun and very interesting. I would've easily had an interview at every step if I could choose.

Not sure I understood it correctly, but here goes.. So with your current joint bank account situation, your wife doesn't appear to be using it other than to transfer a fixed amount into it every month? IF that's the case, even if both of your names are on it (are they?), that's not considered a joint bank account in regards to what USCIS wants to see and won't help anything in regards to proving co-mingled finances. With joint checking bank accounts they want to see both of you actively using it, spending money via it etc. If her only relation to that account is putting a fixed amount of money into it every month, and not using it in any other way, that doesn't really prove anything. To USCIS, that could be her just paying off a personal loan she got from you, or her being your room mate and paying her part of the rent that way, or whatever. It doesn't help proving a bonafide marriage. Do you have savings accounts, money markets or other financial "savings" in both of your names? If you do, send proof of that.
