Hi all

Well we had our AOS interview today in Orlando, FL.

It went fine, no problems.

Arrived at 8.30am, allowed straight in, no need to wait in line. Sat down, waited until 9am and we were called - right on time!!!

Nice lady who was easy going. Asked for driver's licenses from both of us, both my EADs, travel doc, passport and social security number.

She confirmed all the info on our forms. Asked for my medical info.

Asked for our 2005 Tax return, did not want an updated Affidavit of support though. We filed our AOS in August 2004.

She asked me the normal questions about prostitution and having more than one husband.

Then asked my husband my parents names, if he had met them, how he and I met. Strange as I am the Brit, he was asked all the questions!!! Maybe it was because he is 18 years older than me!

Then she asked for mortgage info, bills with both our names on, evidence of our correspondence as we met 8 years ago also she asked for telephone bills which I had kept from 2002!!!

Then she said she was approving us, congratulated us and then shook Tom's hand and congratulated him!!

All was fine, I had stressed about it and now it was for no reason!!

She did not ask for letter from employer or pay stubs.

Glad it is over. The one frustrating thing is that it is 17 days until our 2 year wedding anniversary. So the USCIS decided that they will make another $205 of us in 2 years time when we remove the conditions! Oh well!! At least I am a perm resident now!

Green card should be here within a month!!

This has been a great website for me, it has given me so much info when I needed it.

Good luck to everyone who is going through this process. There is an end to it!!

Kerry and Tom

Congratulations! It does feel good, doesn't it:-). I fully understand about the 2nd anniversary situation - ours was approved 23 days before our 2nd anniversary, too, and my husband also agrees it is a 'money grab'. The card arrived 10 days after approval and I am just happy to have it. Again, congratulations.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
