    AOS Approved

    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    I also forgot to mention that we waithed 3 years and 9 months to file for AOS so if any of you K1 applicants are worried about rushing to file don't worry too much. At our interview we were not even asked why we waited so long. FYI, we just had one thing after another happen over those almost four years and money was tight so we just kept delaying and delaying but we are soooooo happy it is over for now.

    Congratulations!!! :dance::dance::dance: . I think you'll be getting a 10-year GC since you have been married for more than 2 years :thumbs:

    AOS Filers - May 2008

    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Wanted to give everyone an update on our AOS interview yesterday. It was horrible overall.

    We arrived at the USCIS Immigration office 45 minutes early (didn’t want to take any chances on being late, wanted to make sure we could find building, etc). Our appointment was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. As people were called into the private offices, it looked to be about 15 – 30 minutes for an average to be in there.

    We were finally called in around 10:30 a.m. Finally, it was our turn. I’ve been reading others experiences on VJ and seemed like quite a few got to stay together during the process. Nope – not our case. My husband was brought to a waiting room close to where I was being questioned. I was asked to put up my right hand and say that everything that I was about to say was the truth, etc. So the questions started. I was expecting maybe 10 questions, nope – not the case, it was more like 50 questions and I’m not exaggerating. The kinds of questions were:

    How did the two of you meet, How did you first start to communicate, How long did you know him before he asked to marry you, How did he ask you (online or phone or in person), How long after I got to know him did I meet him in person, Where did I stay when I visited him, How long was I in his country, Who paid for the apartment and entertainment when I stayed in his country, Did I meet his family members, How did I communicate with them if I don’t speak his native tongue, What took so long from the time that we got married to the time that it took him to get to the USA, If I rent or own a home now? Asked for a complete description of the house (how many floors, number of bedrooms, colors of each of the rooms, etc.), Color of bedspread in our room, How many pieces of furniture in our bedroom, how many telephones, how many tv’s in the home now, do we have a garbage disposal, color of carpeting, how the finances work in our home (who pays, etc.). Is spouse working, where, how much does he make, what are his hours, how does he get to work, how many vehicles do we have, make and model of car, salary, does spouse have separate accounts from any joint accounts, etc.

    There were more questions, but it really felt more like a drilling session. Like I said, I was prepared for some questions, but to the level of detail I found very interesting. Even asked us very personal questions like if we were using birth control and what kind.

    After I was done, I was brought back to the waiting room that my husband was in and told not to talk to him. He was questioned and later was brought back out to the waiting room.

    In our case, we have an age difference (I’m older) and that’s a big concern of there’s. Plus he has a checking and savings account that are not joint. When asked if we have a garbage disposal – I said “no” as we don’t. My husband doesn’t even know what a garbage disposal is and thought they meant the disposal of garbage so he said “yes”. He meant do we have garbage pickup and we do. Hahahahaha.

    In total we arrived at the Immigration Office at 8:45 a.m. and we left approximately 2:15 p.m. – talk about a long day.

    After all the questions, etc. we were told that she needed to talk to her manager to review some things with him and that we’d be contacted if they needed any other documentation and that we’d here in approximately 2 weeks.

    Oh and photos – they asked to see photos of my two trips when I visited his country, photos of our wedding reception, and photos since he’s been here in the USA.

    If anyone lives in the St. Paul/Mpls area and wants a good immigration attorney – I can tell you who not to get. Ours was late in getting to ours – he totally missed my questioning and arrived in the last hour or so of my husbands.

    I’ll keep you all posted on the outcome. Thanks.

    Sorry about the horrible interview you've been through. I would say yours is one of the most personal and intensive interview experience I've read.I hope you'll not be subjected to further delays and you will get your green card soon on the mail (F)
