Boston AOS interview...

ladyaunt · May 2, 2006

Let me refresh everyone:

Came to United states for a visit, my husband proposed. Got married at the city hall. Went back to Canada. Did the ceremony wedding(traditional way) came back into united states with no problem at the border. 4 months later we sent out our AOS package worrying that it will be a problem because what i did was illegal(intention to stay and adjust) At that time, i was thinking of abandoning my AOS. thnks lord, i didnt.

Heading out for my interview in Boston 930

Getting up early was always a problem for me especially when it rain out. I would have a headache and needing to go for #2 all the time. That just explains how nervous i am. So i let my husband played songs to calm me down. Since I live in Lowell, getting us to Boston will take us 30-45mins. I have to be up at 6am in the morning. Left home at 7:15, stuck in a traffic for 1h30mins. Right in between, i needed to go to the bathroom for #2. Guess what? the traffic goes on until 9:00am, i was getting panick. Imagine i left home at 8:00am???? Anway, lucky us, no cops around, we hit the CARPOOL speeding. I was running late, what else can we do??? Yup, make it to boston at 9:05, got LOST! My greatest husband printed out the wrong direction to the wrong building. Thanks to this nice man, he told us to turn back, back back then head pass the cityhall. YES, we were running late. By the time we find the parking and all. Running to the building as fast as we could in the RAIN. We were out of breath by the time we found the building. Oh, I did the security check like everyones too, COOL! what a waste of time. Funny, they asked everyone who has their belts on to take it off, so they can scan them too. Time are wasting....I was late and gladly, the lady took my paper in at 9:45am.

My impression of the room after entering into the waiting room was,"huh? thats it? small...where can we sit, no chair?" There were lots of people, every single chairs was taken. My husband have to sit on a broken one. About the cellphones, Boston allowed them?? While i was waiting, phones were ringing like crazy. I was getting annoyed. I was called in i dont know when maybe 45mins later by this nice gentleman. The interview was overall, 15mins max.

The interviewer open the door and let us into the hallway to room#10. He followed us. I did noticed that they followed you to the room. I think they really want to see how close you are, if the marriage or fake whatever. Thats what i think, im so sure.

Went into room#10, sitting on the corner, was a huge, was it huge? camera.... yeah, not sure if its on recording. I was too nervous NOW to see anything clearly. He told us to stand with our right hands up swore to tell the truth. Yup, everything but the truth.

He asked for naturalization certificate, Driver Licenses, I-94. I took out everything, OUR PASSPORTS, my driver license, EAD.

He look at the ID, hand it back. He went through my passport and see no I-94 and asked,

"you dont have any stamps on your passport?" I said, "no"

He: "which border did you came through?"

Me: "Vermont route 89"

He, then entered something into the computer.

He then, asked my husband:

His NAME, DOB, WHERE HE WAS BORN, WHEN WE GOT MARRIED.

To me with the same questions.

Went through our papers, marks everything with a red pen.

He to my husband: "What is your wife mom FIRST NAME?"

LUCKYYYYYYYYYY, i let my husband memorized it. My husband was like, "hmm.....(the answer)"

He: "what is your wifes dad FIRST NAME"?

Now, he look at me and ask

"what is your husband birthday?"

Me: So and so....

he looked at me, i was huh? what? i got the day wrong. ahahaha

So i told him again he said, its too easy to remember because it was on a christmas day. I told him i cant help it i was too nervous.

He: how did you guys met?

I told him at buffet's casino at Foxwood...i went into details that i didnt like him at first because he smells.

The interviewer laughs.

He: How did you guys got together then?

Me: blah blahs....

He: When did you came to canada?

Me: i told him the wrong year ahaha again! he was cool though. he smiles.

Now he asked for my BANK STATEMENT ONLY. But i give him everthings. He said: "I can have all?" yup!

That was it, he typed everything and we APPROVED!!! He stamped my passport and told me how he can tell when people fakes their marriage to get the greencards. He caught them!! and he said my case was easy for him and that "IM CANADIAN ANYWAY" soo no problem right there. And he went on how if the cases was bad the waiting would stinks up and that today was different, the room smells ok. The cases was easy for him since morning. Yup he said that. He didnt ask for my pictures. Led us out the door and ask us, can we smell it? we said yeah and off we go.

I got 1 year stamp on my passport and that i will receive my greencard within a month.

It's weird how some of the people there have to wait to be called again 20mins later to have this green paper which i dont know what it's for. My husband told me that his coworker didnt get any stamp even though his case was approved and that he will received an approved letter in mail within 5months.

Intention or not, as long as the marriage are real, You will get your greencard. He had mentioned it that these kind of cases were the easiest if no criminal records involved. So dont stress out over it. Thank you for everything. GOd BLESS you all.
