Well everything went pretty well and my husband was approved for his green card so our next step will be in about two years when we have to apply to renew the first green card. Here's about how things went:

We arrived about twenty five minutes before the appointment, went through security and put our appointment paper in the appropriate bin. We were called back about thirty five minutes later (so only ten minutes after our assigned time) and we went right back to the interview. The interviewer mainly asked my husband questions about what he had been doing in the country, his first marriage, and she

asked a number of the questions that were on the application form (about illegal gambling, terrorism, overthrowing the government, etc...). She asked for my updated taxes and support materials that we lived together so we took out those and we had brought a number of pictures. I asked how many pictures she wanted and she said it was for our file, that we only needed one and that she was approving him. It was a little nervewracking and she spoke a little fast at times for my husband but in the end we were relieved to have it go so quickly. Below is a general timeline for us:

married Jan 2008

Received emplyment authorization card in mid-April (can't remember the exact day we got it in the mail)
