Congratulations!

Hi Slaughterj,

My wife had the interview with the same guy... Except ours was a K3 and yours a K1, which should not make much difference. However, he did not look at my wife's passport or mine... He did not ask for Affidavid of Support or tax returns. He said that our case is still pending and we will let you know soon.

Sean, this puts a different slant on your wife's case. If it is the same guy, it looks like he can approve applications immediately without having a supervisor go over his work. Do you have his name? If your wife's gc does now show up after one month, perhaps you can send him a follow up letter to get an update on your wife's status.

Congrats! We saw that interviewer as well, but got interviewd by a very nice lady. She didn't request as much stuff and was smiling the whole time

But she didn't tell us any details regarding the removal of conditions. I had to ask her about that and she just said to file 2 years from now. So I'll just read up on it when the time comes

Hi Slaughterj,

That seems strange, maybe something different with K3 versus K1? Why would they have you come there while the case was still pending?

congrats guys, that was an excellent post with a lot of details in it...

The detail probably comes from my profession as a lawyer That came up in the conversation with the interviewer actually, and he said "you're not an immigration lawyer are you?" Nope!

Thanks, that was really good! It's interesting because we are preparing for our AOS interview ourselves, and I am trying to find as much as possible to show Ben, so that he knows what to expect!

Also, your situation is pretty much similar to our - we don't have and won't be getting a joint account, since we want to keep ourselves financially exclusive and build up really good credit over a period of time that way.

We won't therefore be having a credit card either, but WILL be on joint insurance policies, have ID's at the same address, junk mail at same address etc. Don't have photos of both the family sides in the wedding because well, it was spur of the moment and nobody from England could come But we do have some wedding photos, to show we both made a good effort and got dressed up

Am getting photos from Walgreens today actually - they do a "upload your photos onto our site and we'll print 20 for free!" deal from the Walgreens site - if you pick 'em up, they're totally free...so I just got 20 free pics for my little photo album I'm making

Anyway congrats again!

The real crux they seem to be looking for is if the other person has access to your money - that demonstrates you trust them, and the relationship is real. Money is king! We had the credit cards which helped, and the pics of family together, which again helped. I think you should really get something together, even a small account for at least several months ahead, since you don't have the pics. Better safe than sorry.

They didn't give you the little form (half a piece of paper) with that information?
