Ok guys, I have my AOS interview on April 2 at 1:30 pm at Garden City. Document I am taking with me is: Joint Checking Account, Electricity bill with both name, some pictures (different even including court marriage, party, tour etc), our both life insurance with beneficiaries and other what I submitted in the initial. I do not have lease on our name as I am sharing with my friend. I am thinking to take his notarize letter stating that we have been living with him. Is that OK? I came in US in 2000 as j1 visa (2 years rule does not apply to me). I have been over staying for past 8 years. Will there be any problem? I also heard that whoever interview is after 12 noon, they do not get stamp on their passport? Is it real? If so why?

Sorry for the too many question. I am so excited and nervous after going through forms. What do you suggest about the attorney? I am not taking my attorney with me. I asked my attorney and he needs extra money for that.

Please advise me specially whoever did their interview at Garden City. Thanks a lot. I will definitely post my experience on April 2.

You might get two different friends to write a brief affidavit saying they have known you to be married ever since ???.

The affidavits can either be notarized, or simply witnessed by someone else. It is not true that afternoon interviews are not acted upon as promptly as the others. They don't stamp your passport, but instead approve sending you a green card.

Is there any reason for them to suspect you got married just to stay in the US? So long as your marriage appears to be bona fide, your overstay would usually be overlooked by USCIS. The interviewer might inquire about why you chose to overstay, however.

Old Dominion, Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, If they inquire about my overstay, I have the reason. 1. My country situation was very bad (still bad) so I was waiting to be improved. 2. My wife passed away on 2001 after giving birth of twins which made me mentally disturbed. 3. Honestly, I was making good money as a computer technician. Later I found a girl from my country and felt in love with her. She was sharing apt with me and got married when she got divorced. She was also alone as she got divorced. We have been living together since 2002. We got married on November 2007.

we have joint tax of 2007 and 2008. I see most of the people get stamped same day. Why not me??? Just curious. I have no fear as we are real couple but still nervous because of my long overstay. I wanted to go and see my family if I get stamp on same day. If not, fine, I will wait.....
