AOS june 2008 filer

Had the interview today at the Omaha field office. The adjudicator was extremely professional and courteous. He approved the AOS but didn't stamp my passport saying the card should be in mail 5-10 days.

We had our interview on Feb 19th at Dallas Field Office (now in Irving).

And we were approved!!!!!!

We arrived there about 40 min before our appointment. Went through all the checks, then to the second floor. Gave our invitation to a lady and received number 50 to wait. The place was pretty much packed and got busier in a little while.

We were called by the officer about 20 min after our appointment time. He took us to his office and started an interview without even checking our ID's and making us to swear on oath. That was a little strange.

But the guy was pretty nice. He said that our interview would go in 2 parts, first - he is going to check all the documents he had in our case to see if there is anything missing and check our names spelling and dates, second and last - we will have to show proves of our marriage.

He went through all the documents, yes/no questions, then my vaccination paper cought his attention (we decided to go with the one I've got in Russia when my medical exam was done, DS-2035) but he said he was going to go back to that later.

Then he asked for our pictures to prove our marriage. We gave him all of our 4 big photo albums with pictures from before wedding, lots of pictures of our wedding and pictures after and up to Valentine's Day. He looked through all of them asking questions once in a while. Then he said that he is sure that we are happily married couple and that that would be enough. That was a big surprize because we had 2 more plastic bags with all possible documents we could have and copies of them just in case. He didn't ask for any single document out of those.

Then he went back to my vaccination supplement and said we will have to go to an approved doctor and have it transferred. He was nice enough to print a list of doctors in that area and gave us a paper so we could come back the same day.

And that we did. We had a little troubles findning a doctor to only transfer my shots because most of them wanted the whole new medical exam for $300-400. Finally, we found one doctor and got it done for $25. And it was so funny.. she said that I would need an HPV vaccine or whatever it's called.. and I was afraid of that. But we still decided to try to say that since I had my medical in this last year and before that new vaccine was implemented that I don't need it. She easily agreed and put a mark across Age Inapropriate. That was nice of her. Then she said that I didn't have anything about chicken pox and was asking me if I had it as a child, if I did I wouldn't need anything, if I didn't - I would need a shot. But silly me.. I said "no, I don't remember having it!".. then my husband said that he remembered my mom talking about me having it.. and doctor suggested we call my mom to ask. That was pretty funny. She left a room and when came back we said that I had it. She completed the supplement and let us go:)))

All in all..

we got back to the officer. He came out to the waiting room, opened the envelope, was satisfied and said that we were good and he would send our case out the same day.

I asked about when we would get a greencard and he said to wait for it in the mail within 6 weeks.

He didn't mention removing conditions or anything else.

That was our experience!

But it sure feels nice to be over with it!!

Congratulations!!!

I had my interview on the same office on the 23rd, it was quite crowded we had to wait an hour pass our interview but it was such a good experience. Our officer did not look at my medical exam thought, I guess it depends on the officer. Have you received your Welcome letter yet?.

Congratulations!!! It's so cool that you got the 10 yr GC, you wont have to deal with the "removing conditions" process, however you can apply for citizenship way before 2019, if I'm not wrong in 2012. :dance: :dance: :dance:

We are in the same situation about our taxes!! lol
