ATLR

Hi, I am relatively still new here, but I have read up a lot and got lots of good tips/advice about the required processes etc..And stumble upon this topic. Very interesting! Just want to share a little on life for me here, in the US of A. I am here for about 3 months, currently waiting for my AOS approval, but then I've already see so much on what's going here. I agree with lots of you here, I am very sure that I won't love USA, I only love my husband, and right now we only have the option of me coming to the USA. We live in Miami Beach, most of the people I known so far are friendly, but somehow I always get the suspicion that they always look at me as some 3rd world country girl who just want an easy ticket to a 'grand' life here. They always have this funny look on their face when they know that I can fully understand and talk perfect English and yes, I had a decent job with a salary enough to support my folks while living in Singapore. Ironically, Miami is one of the city with the most numbers of immigrants, especially Latinos. But the Latinos here is just the same as the Americans. They refused to learn English, most of them are from the poorer part of South America, but they hold the same view as the Americans and make assumptions that I am with my husband because I am uneducated, I am poor and all that #######. I still have people here asking me is Singapore part of China! They look surprise when I explain how Singapore is actually like. I won't say I am a very world savvy person, but it just never fail to amaze me that, USA, the superpower of the world, doesn't really see that there are also other wonderful countries beyond USA. One of the worse remarks I got is from this American white woman who asked where am I from, and then she replied sarcastically 'Singapore??!! That is not one place that I think I will ever want to visit.' It infuriates me. And I just curtly told her that Singapore is very self sufficient, it doesn't need tourist trash like her to help support the economy!!! And when I learn about how the health care system work around here, I am pretty shake up by it. Right now, my husband and I have a hard time deciding on an insurance policy for me because everything is so expensive, otherwise if it is a cheap policy, they will have so many rules and conditions on it that we get all googly eyes looking into it.
So, when the time comes for me to decide on converting citizenship, definite no for me because my husband and I plan on going back to Singapore. And I am glad that my husband is not one of those Americans, otherwise I won't be married to him I know I sound kind of angry here, but these are just my experiences so far. There are nice things here too and I fully understand that being an immigrant, you have to fully respect their system and adapt, but that doesn't mean that I will love USA and I just hope that people will stop asking me do I get my citizenship immediately when I am married to my husband.

It is not a requirement for you to submit evidence of relationship for AOS, your copy of marriage certificate is enough for the time being. I didn't submit photos, joint accounts evidence etc and got my GC approved within 4 months without interview. You can look at this link http://www.visajourn...-list-included/ on what to submit. Though it says aussie way, but it pretty much applies to everyone adjusting AOS from a K1. The only debate is the I-693. Some people got RFE even though their medical records is still valid/complete and it wasn't necessary to get a civil surgeon here to transfer the records to I-693. For me, I just get it transferred to I-693 even though it's not a requirement, save the trouble of a RFE. You just got to shop around for a honest CS who doesn't try to rip you off. Really, it's up to you whether you want to do the I-693 (provided that your medical records are valid and complete.)
Make sure you make copies of all the documents you submit for the AOS/EAD/AP, that will come in handy if you have an interview. During interview, that will be the time when they will ask to see some bona fide evidence of your relationship with your spouse.
