so my interview went really ####### and the officer did not believe we were married yet we provided every proof possible.. he also questioned my faith and country of origin and i felt he really did not like us. so he asked for extra evidence. job letters, statements showing my husband as beneficiary and vice-versa... so we mailed those on nov 9. being that i was going to go back home on december 16, i scheduled an info pass to ask about worst case scenarios if my application were to be denied...

while there, me and the lady officer sparked a conversation about my motorcycle and all. well guess what, she approved me one the spot and stamped my passport with the I-551.

Can i ask for better? no. my husband and i are so happy and lucky to have been in this situation. I personally believe that the infopass is useful if you are nice, calm, and presentable.

good luck everyone.. and thanks for the people who supported me!
