AOS Approval in Saint Paul

[Sbys 0]

Ok, so here's how our interview went:

We got to the office at 7:15am - our appointment wasn't until 8am and the building didn't open until 7:30, so we waited in the car for 15 minutes, then we went inside - went through security, and then went right upstairs. We had to drop our interview letter in a bin and go to the waiting room. We waited until about 8:05 and then the baby starts kicking on my bladder (I'm almost 8 months pregnant). I HAD to go to the bathroom. This guy next to us was still waiting for his 7:30 appointment (but he was there for citizenship) so I thought I was safe to go. So I go, it's right down the hall... I come back and Michael is moved way to the front of the room. He says the lady called our name in the whole 2 minutes I was gone. Can you believe it?? What are the chances?!

Luckily she said she would check back in a few minutes, so she comes back out and calls our name again. We get sworn in and then sit down in her office. She asks us each for our I.D. and says "...for you, sir, I specifically need your passport" - That's when he looks at me funny while pulling out his driver's license. Yeah- WE DIDN'T BRING THE PASSPORT ! I couldn't believe it. I asked her if we "had" to have it, she said she could work around it - I wasn't about to argue with that. Then she had Michael pull out his EAD and I plopped my pile of paperwork next to me so it was ready. She got a copy of his I94 out his file and looked at it, then started paging through Michael's stuff and basically just verified the forms. She asked him:

-His full name

-Address

-Phone number

-If he is working now

-All the questions on the I-485

-Have you been married before?

-Do you have any kids?

-When he entered the U.S. on the K1

-When was the first time he ever came to the U.S.

When she asked if he had kids he said just the one on the way so she asked us when we were due... boy or girl? and if we picked out a name yet.

Then she said she was going to approve our case and we would get the green card in 2-4 weeks. She gave him his EAD back. I asked her if she needed any of the stuff I brought and she said no. She didn't even take my 2005 taxes or anything. We just thanked her and left.

The immigration officer was really nice - it was such a simple interview and fast. We were back out to our car at 8:20am.
