But what can I do if I acquired asset before marriage?

Currently we have : joint bank account, joint credit card together, I can set my wife as beneficiary for my insurances if that helps, my wife is dependent in my health insurance, our taxes will be joint of course, but certain things that I acquired before marriage like the house mortgage or electricty bill is in my name. We do have driver licenses at same address of course, but since my wife doesn't drive, car insurance is just in my name. Just thinking what else will be needed to be co-mingled.

Some of those I have jointly, but some things like house deed is not joint since I bought before marriage or my wife doesn't drive so car insurance is only in my name. Honeymoon trip after wedding evidence is plenty though. The building can give a letter that my wife lives at the address (she had to apply to HOA to live). Electricity and Mortgage is in my name as it was set up before marriage. Will that be an issue?

Thanks, yeah don't have everything joint, but things like health insurance, driver licenses, future joint tax return, a couple trips together, credit card account together, will be possible to show. I own the home (before marriage), so it's only my name on the house deed, but my wife is registered with building to live at our place, so can get that. Given all has been smooth till now, hoping it will be the same. I'm assuming common child together should be first evidence though? I mean that should supersede any piece of evidence for bone fide marriage in my opinion.

We are still a bit out from filing for I-751, but I want to start thinking about what evidence will be sent. We do have joint banking account, took a couple trips together, obviously live together though most bills like electricity are in my name since I bought the house before we married. I'm assuming though the biggest evidence will be our child together born during our marriage? So sending the baby's birth certificate as evidence. How much does having a child together increase chance that interview will be waived and/or process will be smooth? Our processes before that for getting the first green card was very easy and no complications. Just was curious the experience of people in terms of the evidence for this next step, thanks.

Why is there such a huge difference in waiting times between field offices? Down in Florida literally took a couple months end to end, yet I hear about other places taking a year or even more.

Here's our AOS dates. Wife came with K1 in Jan. We married in Feb. March 9 - Sent I-485 Packet and I-765 Packet.

Checked again this afternoon and the case was Approved!!!

yeah I logged into my online account, checked case history, documents, still on the same status "interview scheduled".

Thanks everyone for the feedback, calibrated my expectation accordingly. Just this morning got a notification from USCIS that action has been taken on our case, but strangely didn't see a change yet, so maybe something is coming

Thanks, I thought we did or said something wrong. So I was stressed we didn't get the approval on spot.

Thanks. If a document is missing wouldn't they say it during interview? I just gave the officer what they asked, even though I had a bunch of papers with me.

We had a pretty big wedding and had all evidence to prove that. First marriage for both, same background etc. In all the process has gone very smooth for us. I thought they give decision on the spot hence when the officer said that if approved, will get the approval letter in mail or if anything additional needed will be notified, was a bit distraught from that. Possibly needs to review medical form?

We just had our AOS interview (K1 visa, then marriage). I'd say our case is pretty straightforward and the k1 interview last year had gone very smoothly. We gave all documents needed to the officer and the officer asked some questions about our relationship and marriage. I'd say our answers were fine and nothing out of ordinary. However, the officer didn't say approved at the end of the interview, rather said that we will be notified of the approval and if any additional documents needed, we will be notified. I'm reading that generally if approved they approve on the spot and put a stamp in the passport. How does this scenario bode for us?? Thank you.

Wife received her EAD card like 6 days ago. Was wondering when does one receive the social security number after getting the EAD card? We did mark in the work authorization application (i-765) to receive a social security number. We have interview coming up in few weeks and in order to get a joint account at my bank, she needs a social security number. Thanks in advance.
