Approved!!

The mailer worked!!

(short review...on neighbors computer)

We got there 15 mins or so after 7 and there were 2 groups ahead of us. One couple and a lady, they were both doing the fiance type... they were approved as well.

As far as I know there were only 2 women doing the interviews while I was there...

The couple that got A went in first and were approved no problem... the lady that was alone (letter B) went to the other lady, she was approved also but had to go buy a new mailer... (I never saw her mailer)

We got the same lady couple A had and were approved no problems. Whe was really nice. Originally from California (like me) and wants to visit Newfounland so we had a long chat about that since hubby is from there...

She asked when did we meet... where did we meet... what hubby plans to do when we get to Utah...

We almost had one hiccup... we needed to show proof that hubby is no longer in the Canadian forces... luckily we brought his whole file with us and happend to find a piece of paper that said last day of work on it.

Oh and the DS 230 (I think thats the form) part 2 (of that one form we had to fill out part 1 only) ... we didnt have that when we got there and had to give our papers to the first lady that gathers the file before the interview. So that lady printed one up and we filled it out and then hubby signed it in the interview room.

It is all a blur right now.

We only got back the marriage cert and birth cert... they kept everything else including my tax transcripts... they never even asked me anything on finances... when I gave them the stack of papers for AOS: I186 EZ, pay stubs, tax transcripts, copy of military orders, letter of employment and I had a copy of my 2008 taxes at the bottom of the pile or somewhere in that mess.

I just hope we get the passport back soon.

Thanks for all your help and support through all this.

When I told the hubby about the next step (adjustment of status) or what ever it is called he wasnt excited...haha.

He thought we were done...

I know I have left out alot, so if anyone has an interview soon and has a question just ask, it may take a day or two for me to respond... but I will be popping in now and then.

Congratulations!!

Yes, you won't be doing an adjustment of status - that is only for K visas. If you did a CR1 (ie: you have been married less than 2 years) then you have to remove conditions eventually - however if you did an IR1 you will receive a 10 year green card.

congrats!! Nope, not if u enter the POE with less than 2 yrs of marriage, ur stuck with it good for 2 yrs! On ur greencard--which u get in the mail--there will be an EXPIRATION date (which should be 2 yrs from the date u entered the USA) 90 days PRIOR to that date, you will file the I-751, too easy to do. But thats down the road! Now if you enter the USA 2yrs or more oh being married, then u should get the 10 yr greencard!

Hopefully someone will still read this... quick question on the fee...

I know when I submitted the I 130 I paid $355... and then when we had our interview Friday we had to pay another fee of $355... did I pay the same fee again?? I just thought it was odd that it was the same amount that I had already paid... but was too caught up in the moment and didn't want to rock the boat and bring that up...

Thanks guys.

hmm shouldn't it have been 470? 70 for affidavit of support and 400 for the IV bill? maybe you got off for a discount? but then again, since I didn't DCF, im not sure if you have to pay the NVC fees
