This is from a visitor's visa / aos

Current case

Please update what happens to your case!

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. The link you sent is pretty vague about the circumstances of the case.

I am not too worried about the interview. My wife still has strong ties back in her home country and did not intend to immigrate. We married over 4 months after she arrived here and we have plenty of evidence to prove Bona Fide marriage.

And its a very bad attitude to demotivate someone showing a negative case, when he/she is going for interview next day. Each case is different and we are no USCIS officers here.

Sorry, but he should know exactly what he is going into. You can't hide from it.

If your case is strong, and you can prove it, then you shall have no problem.

If you can't....

Best to be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best.

we just did our interview yesterday, my husband was on a tourist visa and we did an AOS from that... no probs whatsoever (it does help that he was never out of status and has been using his tourist visa heavily the past 3 years)

anyway, the interviewer didnt even ask a single question about the tourist visa, mostly just about our marriage.

Had our interview today. We were verbally approved!! The interviewer asked to see our Id's, birth certs, and marriage cert. Wanted to see my 2008 W2's. Showed her our photo album. She meticulously examined the photos.

She asked how we met and about our families. Pretty painless actually. Just waiting for the GC in next few weeks.

Did not stamp passport, but did take I-94 and EAD.
