AOS Filers - May 2008

[PhilipYen 0]

hi there our VJ family! well, well, well, i guess we had a successful AOS interview! Wooohhhhoooo!!!

Everything was so fast on that day. We started falling in line outside the building around 830am. Got inside the uscis premises around 9am. left our appointment letter at the window. we were called in less than 10minutes. then, we waited outside the IO's office for like 10-15 minutes coz he was scrutinizing the couple inside his room. we were nervous at that point coz we thought he was so strict. so we prepared ourselves very well.

then, he let us in but he was nice to us. he asked first for the usual docs such as the i-94, passport, carl's DL and the appointment letter. i gave him my EAD card but he said he doesn't need it. then, he asked carl for our address. then, he asked for hubby's job. carl is a chef so they talked a lot about cooking and food. it gave us a some comfort and relief though. then, he asked how long have we been married, my job, if it was my first time in the US and if I was ever been arrested. he asked for all the docs that we could present to prove that our marriage is true so we gave him our life and health insurance docs, bank statements, church marriage certificate and tons of photos. he refused to get the church marriage certificate and photos. i wonder why he didn't even look at our photos. he was more interested on talking to hubby about food. hehe. then, he asked hubby how we met. and that's all. he said we should be waiting for a letter on the mail from Chicago. we only spent 10 minutes i think for the interview. he left the building around 930am. but actually, our appointment was 1030am. we were so early to avoid the traffic at the 10 freeway.

he never said anything if we were approved. so we were still hanging on that part. but on our way out from his room, he told me the magic words "Welcome to America". I believe that was enough to convince ourselves that we were approved. we'll just wait for the mail from Chicago. I wonder what is it. I hope it will be the Welcome Letter.

I want to thank everybody here in VJ and especially the people here on this May filer thread for all the support, guidance and prayers. This is such a wonderful place/website and we are so blessed to be part of this family. I will post here the content of that letter from Chicago as soon as I get it.

***TIPS: 1. be early; 2. prepare all your docs and photos; 3. dress professionally on your interview; 4. pray hard!

God bless everybody and for those who are still waiting, just hang on coz God is working of His perfect plan on us.

Hi Beng and Carl, congtratulations!

It is ten days into the new year. Does anyone have any updates or news?

We met a young man who has petitioned for a K1 visa for a filipina, so Meryll and I are offering assistance with the process. The Fil-Am and VJ community is growing here!

Congrats on your successful interview and receiving your card production for green card. Our interview is coming up on Tues, Jan 13 at 145pm. Hubby and I are now preparing the docs needed. I've been so busy with work but now I finally got to relax after passing my NCLEX and is now practicing for my DMV drivers license. I've had the driving permit for nearly 9 months, but only started to drive with lessons just last week. I just got done driving hubby around for 2 hrs and says that I seem ready to take the driving test. I plan to have two more sessions before my exam and hope to take my driving test before February. Good luck and god bless..
