AOS Interview in Memphis

CanGal · June 24, 2006

Hey everyone, I had my AOS interview in Memphis, TN yesterday afternoon and it all went very well. :dance: :dance: :dance:

My appointment wasn't until 1:30 pm but we ended up arriving at about 11:30 am. The officers coming in were really friendly as they scanned our stuff making small talk. My belt ended up setting off the detection beeper (Silly me wore a studded metal belt under my shirt ) We were pointed to a room in to which to wait and so we slipped in our appt. notice in the slot and waited. The room didn't look busy, a few people waiting here and there no more than 8 people in total. We ended up getting called in Early!! The officer noted as we were walking down the hall that we were early, that he had just finished his lunch but not to worry all was fine. He swore us in and allowed us to take our seats. He had a huge file on me and asked just a few questions while talking with us. He took out my I-94 and started laughing and he said that he really didn't know what would happen to those who didn't get married within the 90 day limit. He asked a few questions like how we met. He laughed when I told him what year, he said man you were just a young thing and still are! .... He asked for our 2005 tax returns, my hubbies employment letter, a few pieces of evidence so i gave him our health insurance form, car insurance, church letter and he said that all that was fine he didn't need to see more. He talked to my hubby a bit about switching from your own business to working for someone else and then he quickly went into explaining how to remove conditions. I chirped in and said so does this mean that you approve of me and he said yes! I asked if my FBI name check was done and he said yes that only muslim names or unfamiliar names get more scrutinized. He then stated that I should have my card within a week or two!!!! That was it, he showed us out and wished us luck! Way easier than i thought I went totally overprepared but I guess it is better to be safe than sorry

Time for me to celebrate!! hehe :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

I want to thank all of you on VJ for helping me get this far, without all of you I don't know if I would have made it!! Thank you all
