Approved!

Greetings all!

I know how much I love to read the joyful stories of others who have been approved and I would like to post ours as well.

Monday was our day, 2 pm at the San Jose, Ca center. We showed up about 50 minutes early and I had packed a bunch of snacks into my wifes purse before we left the house. She kept asking if we were going to have a picnic! Since we were early I immediatly dove into my wifes purse to start eating the fruit snacks and Quaker Peanut Butter snacks. (Yes, I like to eat when I'm nervous).

After washing that down with a bottle of water we headed inside. The security guard let us in and we headed upstairs. Imagine our surprise when arriving into the waiting area (it was large - maybe 70 feet by 30?) and finding only 1 other couple there! I thought the place would be mobbed! What gives?

After dropping our interview letter in the box and sitting down, the girl who was waiting ahead of us immediatly got up, walked over to the box, pulled out her sheet from below ours and put hers on top! I was like !? I didn't care, but I couldn't understand why she would do this - especially since its by appointment! About 2:25 a person came in and took the couple in front of us.

Nervously we watched the time tick by, 4 staff members wandered in and out of the room -none for us. Finally 2:12 a very kind Gentleman walked in and asked for us to follow him (we could tell he was a Sr. Officer).

Sitting down in the office he swore us in, then he proceeded to tell us that we looked like an honest couple and told us there would be no funny business from his side. He proceeded to ask my wife when we met, how old she was, how long shes been here. He asked her general questions about being a terrorist or being arrested.

He then asked us very basic questions, and wanted to see our drivers license and my passport. He never asked for any pictures, or previous taxes (I had tax returns AND transcripts), or anything else. Boy was I surprised, we had brought 2 large bags full of all kinds of evidence, and he didn't ask for a single bit of it. Oh well.

The entire time he was stamping, scribbling things on our forms, typing on the computer, and near the end he said (about 35 min later). Well, you guys are all approved! as of now you are a permanent resident. I will take your work cards and all you have to do is wait for your green card! Congratulations!

Woo-hooo! What a blessing! After a scary miss-hap (we being scheduled in Chicago when we lived in Ca, and then getting denied for not showing up even after we had a letter from the director in INS approving our request to move it). So instead of finishing in Nov, we are completed in April. Now we just have to wait for the GC to show up.

yay! So you guys still waiting, don't give up! Hang in there and you will soon be smiling with your GC in hand!

Thanks for sharing your detailed report. I used to live in the Valley, so it's nice to hear a local San Jose CA story

1. Congratulations!

2. Please

3. Um... it's not clear to me what you were approved for? Since this is in the US, I'm guessing that you either did an AOS, or removed conditions for a 10 Yr GC. If you had a timeline and/or more info on your profile I'd be able to figure that out.

Anyway, congratulations for whatever it was that you've been approved for! And give my regards to the Valley of Heart's Delight
