Hi all,

I had my AOS interview yesterday, 08/17/2009 at 1:30 PM, in Atlanta. My wife and I got there around 1:15 PM, went through the security scan in the first floor and were directed to the second floor. There we had to show our appointment letter at the counter where the lady, after verifying the letter, told us to wait in the AOS waiting room in the third floor. I thought we may have to wait for at least half an hour, as is usually the case, but my name was called in ten minutes. Our interviewer was a middle-aged black lady who seemed friendly. She led us the way to her room, and after asking us to raise our right hands and swear, made us sit down. She began by asking both of us for our IDs and passports. She then asked me my full name and DOB, aliases (if any). She asked my wife the same questions, asked her to verify her signature on the petition form, and then asked her how we met and how our relationship progressed. As my wife was narrating the story, the interviewer was jotting down points on the form. After that, she asked if we had any evidence of what my wife said. We said yes, we had tons of pictures as well as records of phone calls. She asked us to submit whatever we could. So we submitted a few photos, phone call records, copies of joint lease, joint bank account, credit cards, car insurance as well as flight itinerary and hotel booking details of our honeymoon. After that, she went thro all the Yes/No questions on the I-485 form to which, of course, I said No to all of them. Then she told us about the conditional nature of green card (as we were not married for 2 years) and that we had to apply 90 days prior to the expiry of 2 years to remove these conditions. She then congratulated us and said our card will be mailed to us in the next 60 days. WOOHOO, we did it!!! It was not even 2 PM by the time we got back to our car. I checked my case status today and it says my card will be mailed in 30 days. We are so happy now, thanks to the Almighty and thanks to all your help.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
