Since the new Arizona law passed, my husband and I have heard a lot of discussion on this topic.
I think the law is fine, just file your paperwork like we all here are doing
I really wonder what conditions can make a person leave their home country with nothing and start a new *illegal* life somewhere else ...
What do you think??

I don't think so! I am more worried about my age difference problem. I have heard the age doesn't mean anything to them. All they want to know is that you really will marry her because you love her and not to get the citizenship. It depends on the country as well, how hard the Embassy is etc. Your interview will decide a lot, just make sure to act mature enough.
hey!
Age or Age difference wasn't a problem for us.
They approved us at the AOS Interview.
We had A LOT of evidence, especially a lot of photos, which the Officer wanted to see most.
The only question he asked me was; "So you got married when you were 18??" and I just said YES. that was it ...
My hubby,USC, is 8 years older than me <3
I don't think that you will have a problem, when you bring enough evidence
Good Luck

We had our interview yesterday! It took about 45 minutes. The officer only said "so you were 15 when you met and 18 when you got married" I said "YES" and that's it. We got approved right on the spot.
And before that, about 3 weeks ago, I traveled on Advance Parole to Germany and back without any problems!!
So Thanks to all of you who gave me realistic advice and did not try to scare me or wanted me to cancel my petition (BullS***)
We had no problems and our big photo albums helped A LOT.

Hey everyone,
I just got a call from my mom telling me that my dad was in a car accident and he is in the hospital right now and really not feeling well.
I adjusted my status from my tourist visa and our green card interview is scheduled for April 14th (I already received AP and Work Permit).
Can i fly to Germany and enter the USA again with my AP??
My family really needs me right now and it's a real emergency (i thought that's what the AP is for)
I was out of status for about 90 days, not near the 180 days ... which we heard can be major problem.
The hotline said we are okay ... but I am still a little bit worried....
Has anyone done this before? What are your experiences??
Also what form do you fill out on the plane?? The green one or the white one?? (+the blue customs form)
Thanks!!!
Best,
Stefanie

We got our Interview letter today. yeeea
I am so excited

My I-94 expired in late September and we filed for AOS in December.
But we flew to Hawaii for our honeymoon in Oktober. No problems at all!!!
They just wanted to see my passport.
(Tipp: if your passport is still in your maiden name than you should purchase your flight ticket in your maiden name too ... )

sounds like ya have a good head on your shoulders now. the paperwork isn't so much fun but the results are worth it.
Thank you so much! I'll be so glad when it's finally done ...
The USCIS Officer can question us all day long ... Our Marriage is real & we love each other ...
So I am not that worried anymore!
-
I think, if you have enough proof, it shouldn't be a problem.
Do you have alot of pictures from the wedding? Greeting cards?
Good luck!
Yes, we have A LOT of pictures. Like I said my whole family flew in from Germany and I think even that is enough proof that our marriage is real ...
I've heard so many times now, that I was too young to get married, but I can only say, that we are truly in love.
Of course we could get a divorce in 5 years, but a couple in their late 20's or 30's too - i think.
and I am married now for 6 months already and it's not easy being in the US, doing all the paper #######. I haven't seen my family since our wedding.
okay, his family lives 5 min from our apartment away and they help us a lot ...
I still think that I did the right thing and I was just a little worried about that under 18 thing ...
But I will be truthful at our interview and we'll see ...
thanks for your advice!!

Hey everyone!
I am a little bit worried about our upcoming Interview ...
and i would be very glad if you could give me some advice!
So, I entered the US on a Tourist Visa (i had no intention to get married)
I have proof of that (Flight ticket back to Germany, had a job & apartment,...)
anyways ... I visited my BF here and after two weeks here, we were laying in bed and talking about our
future together ... flying back and forth is so expensive and we just wanted to be together.
so he asked me to marry him and stay with him in the US. I said yes
(it's always been very hard not seeing him - i think you all have been thru the same thing ...)
2 months later we got married (my parents, both grandparents, brother, cousin and friends flew over here on a very short notice, his family came to our wedding - everybody was happy that we got married )
and we filed for AOS in December.
Now my concern is that there's gonna be a problem about my age/age difference.
well, I am 18 years old right now and my hubby is 26.
We were introduced via myspace by a mutual friend - his brother about 3 years ago.
and maybe you see were the problem could be.
At this time I was 15. When we started dating I was 16 and he was 23.
That is perfectly legal in Germany ...
but what about california??
I visited him about 6 times in the last 3 years and he visited me about 35-40 times (he works as a freelance video editor and had some freelance work in Germany - we sent his lufthansa flight-record-thing as evidence too)
He grew up in Germany - lived there for almost 20 years (His parents were stationed over there)
He speaks fluently german and knows everything about the german culture (or however you'll call it)
So I am really worried that there's gonna be a problem about that ...
Or do you think the officer won't even care about it, because we are married now ...
Thank you so much for your help and input

Hello everyone,
I was looking for a related topic in the forum, but couldn't really find the right answers to my question...
I have applied for AOS and have already received my EAD Card.
I would now like to apply for a SSN.
I was reading the government website and was a little confused on what documents to bring, will my EAD be enough
since my tourist visa has expired an I am technically "out of status".
There were talk of valid visa or other valid document - will my NOA1 be okay with my alien# ??
thank you for your help!!
-
We got one email saying EAD approved, two emails saying card production ordered, and a third saying they sent the approval notice.
Same here!!
-
aaaah I just go an e-mail that my EAD and AP has been approved!!!
yeeeah sooo happy <3
-
uscis hasn't touched my case for almost 4 weeks now
should i call the hotline??
i am sooo worried ...
thanks!

Got a text today. Our case was transferred yesterday to Califonia Service Center. No interview for us.
How do you know that you won't have an interview???
I mean, that's really good ...

Booked Honeymoon w/ return after I-94 expires
in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Posted
My wife and I flew to Hawaii and back even though her I-94 had expired during AOS and we had NO problems at all. She just needed her passport but nobody looked for a valid visa. Have a great honeymoon there like we did! Congrats!
