I got a call from the immigration officer from yesterday.

They want me to come back because he forgot to ask a few question! :o

#######! We paid $300 to go to Chicago and for the hotel! How are we supposed to do that? :dead:

We had to go there one day early and left the next day after the interview.

Wish everyone who is waiting speedy process... hang in there...make that Infopass if you have been waiting over 90 days... it worked for us.

Thanks for everyonr's support.

Wooooooooohoooooo ....

We went to the AOS interview this morning ... 1 hour waiting, 15 minutes in the office, a few questions (how did we meet, how long we had known each other, when did we get married, how is married life?) ... more time spent in silence as he flipped through the original I-129F application and AOS documents we submitted. I saw him stamp it approved. He then asked for a copy of the marriage certificate (they seemed to have lost it in the file). He went to photo copy the marriage certificate and our drivers license. When he left the room I told Stephen to look where the approved stamp was (he was like, oh, WOW!). And that was it. He gave us a document explaining in 2 years we would need to apply to lift the conditions and that in three years Stephen could apply for citizenship. It was much easier than we expected. Should have the GC in 2 weeks.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!! :thumbs:

I called the officer and I got an interview for tomorrow. I could choose the time and he just wants to see me. So I can take the train in the morning and the train in the evening. :jest:

I don't have to bring any papers, evidence etc.

:dance::dancing: PASSED written test for DMV...(got 7 wrong), my road test is scheduled for Feb. 5 (in NJ you have to wait 3 months after receiving permit b4 allowed to road test)

on another note, went to WAMU bank to get added to hubby's accounts and credit card and they said that my ssn didn't "check out" yet...something about social security admin. have to notify banking system of it before they can do anything (I think that's stupid, seeing as i'm able to use it for dmv) and that i should try back in a few weeks...don't think i can wait that long but then again i'm already on his other checking account (at a different bank) so i guess as long as i have 1 i'm ok...
