Congrats!!! That approval is probably the happiest slice of time in the whole process :D :D :D

My fiancee and I arrived in Newark yesterday (took her through the U.S. Citizen section with me with no problems).

Took the USCIS crew about 15-20 minutes to get her paperwork through and we're set for marriage :dance: .

I'm EXTATIC because of the simple fact that I woke up next to her in my (our) bed this morning :P :P

Applying for a marriage license on Friday...

This forum is THE BEST!!!!!

Thank you all for your help and posts about your own experiences (embassy, paperwork, POE, marriage, AOS, etc...).

All the best to everyone!!!

Thanks Everyone.

Yes, it was very fast....especially as I was convinced I was going to get an RFE for the unsigned G-35A's I submitted (DOH!)

I hope everyone has an easy AOS...:)
