AOS Interview Atlanta

[MrsAyilliath 0]

Hi,

Hubby had his AOS interview on March 12. This interview was a bit more intense than the consulate interview in Delhi but we were prepared. Got to the USCIS office 15 minutes before the interview and the line was out the door. Fortunately security moved pretty quickly. We only waited about 25 minutes before being called back for the interview.

We were sworn in and the officer asked the following questions (aside from the regular have you ever commited a crime questions)

1) Did you fill out a financial form? Before I could answer she found the one on file and I provided her an updated employment letter reflecting a promotion and payraise. Also showed hubbies check stubs.

2) To Hubby: What do you do (for employment)

3) To Hubby: Do you plan on practicing polygamy?

4) To Me: Have you ever met his parents ( To which I replied yes and we showed pics of me and his family together)

5) What is his Father's name ( I explained I couldn't pronounce it but attempted to spell it also explained FIL is deceased)

6) What is his Mother's name?

7) When did you get married

8) Where did you get married

9) to Hubby: What is the phone number

10) What is the address?

11) Do you have proof

12) Do you have proof of relationship? (we then produced insurance cards, bank accounts, joint credit card account etc.)

She then looked through our pictures and said everything looks to be in order prending final checks. When I asked about the checks, she said they should be completed by the end of the day and that we'll receive the card in two to three weeks. Since our anniversary was only four days away this was a great 2nd anniversary gift for us!

Hubby received his welcome to America letter and notification of card production on this past Wednesday only one week after the interview. This was a two year conditional permanent residency card. Can anyone tell me the process for lifting conditions and if a two year is normal? Thanks VJ for being such a great resource!

Oh one more thing... they also asked for the I693A which we got from Dr. L.E. Arnold in TX..so it's definitely important to have this on hand. The other thing I noticed about our file as she was flipping through is that they save everything, including the envelopes you mail things in. For some reason I thought everything would be in an electronic file but it wasn't. She even saved the envelope the I693-A came in and stapled it to the back of the form.

Congrats on a successful interview and green card! Yes, a 2 yr green card is normal if you and your spouse have been married less than 2 years at the time of the interview. To lift conditions you will need to complete I-751, there is a VJ guide for the process. Its pretty straight forward compared to the other parts of the immigration process and you will need to provide the same type of evidence that you did during your AOS interview.

Thanks for the quick response. The crazy part about all of this is that we were only four days away from our 2nd year anniversary. Hubby says the 2 year green card really isn't much different from his K-3 visa since it expired in 2009 too. He said it's like having two tv's for the same room. We filed for AOS when we did to avoid the fee increase but as hubby pointed out a few moments ago, it's like we're paying it anyway between the AOS fees and the 565 we'll have to pay to lift conditions. Oh well... water under a bridge now. I'm just thankful that he's got it and we can breathe for 1 year 9 months. Thanks again.
