Congrats to everyone else getting approved!!! One question: how long is normally taking to get the GC in the mail after being approved??

Gaz.

Thank you so much and congratulations for you guys too. Yes, you are going to get a 10 years GC.

About get GC by mail, she told us that it will take about 1 week to 30 days. If we don't get it within 30days, we have to do info pass.

Hang in there Laura...I'm an August filer, transfered 9/10 to CSC and nothing...I'm praying for you!

Hang in there too!!! :)

I just need my green card...I can't drive here without one and I'm severely lacking independence.

It's getting tiring!!!

I'm debating about whether I'd rather lack independence while waiting for my GC or having to wait for more info regarding an RFE. Think the lacking independence would win. Grrrrrrrrrrr at RFE's.

My husband's arrogance got in the way and he quit his job 2 weeks ago. My question is, will this hurt us come interview time ( April 7th ) ?. Also, we had a courthouse wedding and it was spur-of-the-moment because I had a surgical procedure done the day before . No witnesses, no friends or family, no party or honeymoon. We only have 3 pictures of us standing across the street from the courthouse. We have proof of everything else like his name on the bills, insurances, bank account, etc., Does anyone see this as possible trouble at the interview?

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Hello Nagish, hope you are ok and well andyour hubby too?

Well, your's isnt the first marriage without friends family or ceremony, especially with the very minimal time frame given us. So sincerely i think you ll be fine given that you have all other evidences intact.

I still havent got the mail updated or card in mail but i'm not worried anymore as i know card production ordered wont last forever lol, meaanwhile i'm planning going to get the stamp on my passport next week if we have the time.

I see the interview is soon and i know how worried you ll be but the funny things is...it is well, deeep down inside i know you know it would be approved.

My prayers for you is, let the day come so you can go ahead and get it over with and relax till its time to worry again....lifting conditions!

All the best my friend...

It is well...it only takes time.

Thank you, Beautiful_years for your words! You know we both are worried silly, and even now so that my husband knows he screwed up by quitting his job. I will try to stay focused on the positive, but as you know, better said than done. Such worry warts we are !

Thank you, Beautiful_years for your words! You know we both are worried silly, and even now so that my husband knows he screwed up by quitting his job. I will try to stay focused on the positive, but as you know, better said than done. Such worry warts we are !

Nagishkaw...your lack of pictures for your wedding is nothing to worry about. I will say that our interviewer asked to see our pictures, but this was not just wedding photos but just every day pictures (at thanksgiving, xmas etc) showing that we are together.

Great! We have those! Thank you, Jamie.

My husband's arrogance got in the way and he quit his job 2 weeks ago. My question is, will this hurt us come interview time ( April 7th ) ?. Also, we had a courthouse wedding and it was spur-of-the-moment because I had a surgical procedure done the day before . No witnesses, no friends or family, no party or honeymoon. We only have 3 pictures of us standing across the street from the courthouse. We have proof of everything else like his name on the bills, insurances, bank account, etc., Does anyone see this as possible trouble at the interview?

Hi Nagish...you don't have to worry about the your interview...Me and my husband was also married in City Hall and only one witness( just my husband's dad). As long as you can show your marriage certificate, it will be ok..

With regards to your husband losing his job, we have the same situation.. it was never mentioned in the interview, maybe because the Affidavit of Support we filed before is already enough...

And about the wedding photos, we forgot to bring any wedding photos.. I only have like 5 photos of me and my husband's family and these photos were taken without any occasion.. its just random photos that we had.. but I also brought the photos that I've shown during my K1 application interview..

The documents of joint assets that you mentioned I think is enough to prove that your marriage is real..

And oh.. just a tip.. this may not happen on your interview but I also want to share what the consul asked us to verify the marriage..

We were interviewed at the same time. He asked my husband to look away and asked me to write the brand of the toothpaste that we both use....and asked my husband to answer it verbally.....It may not be only toothpaste.. He tried to ask if we have pets, he wanted to know the name/s of the pets, how many calendars we have in the house, he wanted to ask what is the design of the calendar.... those stuff... so just make sure you pay attention to those details....

Good Luck and just relax during the interview...

My husband's arrogance got in the way and he quit his job 2 weeks ago. My question is, will this hurt us come interview time ( April 7th ) ?. Also, we had a courthouse wedding and it was spur-of-the-moment because I had a surgical procedure done the day before . No witnesses, no friends or family, no party or honeymoon. We only have 3 pictures of us standing across the street from the courthouse. We have proof of everything else like his name on the bills, insurances, bank account, etc., Does anyone see this as possible trouble at the interview?

Hi Nagish...you don't have to worry about the your interview...Me and my husband was also married in City Hall and only one witness( just my husband's dad). As long as you can show your marriage certificate, it will be ok..

With regards to your husband losing his job, we have the same situation.. it was never mentioned in the interview, maybe because the Affidavit of Support we filed before is already enough...

And about the wedding photos, we forgot to bring any wedding photos.. I only have like 5 photos of me and my husband's family and these photos were taken without any occasion.. its just random photos that we had.. but I also brought the photos that I've shown during my K1 application interview..

The documents of joint assets that you mentioned I think is enough to prove that your marriage is real..

And oh.. just a tip.. this may not happen on your interview but I also want to share what the consul asked us to verify the marriage..

We were interviewed at the same time. He asked my husband to look away and asked me to write the brand of the toothpaste that we both use....and asked my husband to answer it verbally.....It may not be only toothpaste.. He tried to ask if we have pets, he wanted to know the name/s of the pets, how many calendars we have in the house, he wanted to ask what is the design of the calendar.... those stuff... so just make sure you pay attention to those details....

Good Luck and just relax during the interview...

I couldn't answer those questions. I had to go check to see what toothpaste we use. All we were asked is how we met, how many times I had gone to Thailand, where I worked and what I did there. The interviewer also asked my wife her (our) address and her phone number and whether she had a job.
