I'll tell you what, try and concentrate more on gathering enough evidence that show proof of your marraige and relationship. that supercede your intent.

I will worry more on what evidence i've got. i can understand what you are going through because i went through it myself and almost got a heart attack thinking how to explain my intent but it never came up at our interview. the IO was pleased with our evidence and we got the card two weeks later. Not to say all the IO are thesame but i guess the most important thing is your entered the country legally and your marraige is real.

congrats...................

Well i'll suggest you go to the interview with enough evidence to proof your relationnship. Start with the list of items of your letter and be prepare to proof you didn't intend to stay when you came on tourist visa. Most IO don't even ask the question of "intent" no more, it never came up during my interview.

You'l be fine

Got my green card in the mail today at last!!!!!!!!!!

we are having a little party just for us

I want to say a big thank you to all the good people of VJ, We did the filing and everything all by ourselves ( no lawyer fee) and didn't get any RFE, no mistakes and interview was too smooth its almost unbelieveable. Though our process took 10 months but it was worth the wait while reading people's experience, mistakes, idea etc. on VJ. (i spend at least 1-2 hours everynight on VJ)

To those that are still waiting, i wish you all the best. Gather as much as you can, its not gonna hurt anything. don't take the process for granted and wait till the last minutes before gathering evidence. ( failure to prepare = preparing to fail). relax and most all pray to GOD or whatever you beleive in.

so sorry for all the rambling, i'm just too happy

Thank y'all

we had our AOS interview on 20th, and this is how it went.

we waited from 10am our appointment time till about 11.15 when the lady called our name. After the initial swearing and she wanted to see some goverment issue IDs and we gave her our DL which she check both our address.

she wanted to see my wife original birth cert, our marriage cert, my birth cert. then she asked for evidence to support our application and i gave her all our evidence neatly arranged and the photocopies ( she was happy i came with photocopies and the way the documents were arranged). she looked through the evidence carefully and all she said was that we have all she need and that were approved. she talked al ittle about my church and asked if my wife attend thesame church. She asked for current letter from employer and last three months paystub, i gave her both but she said mine is not important and she kept the originals of my wife and also copies of last year tax return.

she asked the questions on the I 485 form, then she took my I-94 and I asked her about my EAD & AP , she told me i can keep them both and when i get my green card in about 2 weeks i can make it void.

we were out in about 5-10 minutes. on our way out she asked who our joint sponsor was, and my wife replied that's was her dad. no other questions, she didn't ask to see our photos either, we had went with two photo albums with about 300 picstures.

All i can say she was really nice and was smiling all through, she was happy at how neat and organize we are and she told us we came with enoough evidence and good thing she didn't have to make copies.

We got the card production order email the following day

We had our interview yesterday and got this email today.

The officer told us that we were approved but we didn't sign any paper and she didn't say anything about removing conditions in 2 years.

She told me to keep my EAD and AP and we were out of her office in about 10 minutes.

No one can tell you what will happen at the interview.. maybe nothing. But if I were you I would be prepared to prove that you did not have the intent to adjust status when you came here.. (a return ticket would be a good place to start and just start building from there..)

thank you.

i was not asked if i was married or not at the port of entry,

i have my return ticket
