We went for our interview today at the INs in San Francisco

My wife arrived her in March on the K1 visa and we were married in May.

We've never had any trouble with paperwork, no rfe's no problems with visa or interviews or medicals

The interviewer asked us some basic questions and we gave all the correct answers

He saw my wifes debit card for my checking account, her secured credit card, our joint gym membership, our rental agreement with both our names on it, joint electric bill etc etc etc

Lots and lots of photos together from before her coming here, our wedding shots with friends, photos of us together on honeymoon, kayaking together, climbing together, at our friends wedding, etc etc etc

At the end he said we were going into FFV (For further valuation), no reason given and no request for further information to be provided.

We were both disapointed as we thought we were well prepared and looking forward to our celebration afterwards

We now have to wait another 2 - 4 weeks for his decision

That's what I am hoping for.

I forgot to add that my wife also has medical, dental and optical coverage through my insurance, and I am comfortably over the earnings limit.

Just so goddam annoying

sorry to hear that...did they take her i-94 or anything, we understand they often say will have to be reviewed and then the approval letter unceremoniously arrives. we also interviewed in san francisco but luckily we breezed through although as you know they leave the doors open and the i.o. in the office next to us was awful to the couple he interviewed!

good luck!

hi

Yes, he took out the I-94 from her passport. At that point I thought it was over and done with. He never asked us about our day to day life our anything difficult, it had been a very easy type of interview. He said he was just going outside to photocopy some bank stuff and I turned to my wife and said that was easy and congratulated her for answering all his questions so well. Then he came back inot the room and said he was putting us on FFV and we would hear from him in a months time

Sorry for the late reply.

On Friday the 11th I checked the status of our AOS online as I was curious to see if anything had happened.

And it said "Case approved, card applied for" and it was approved on the 9th, one day after our interview. I can only assume that our interviewer was new to the job and he had to run all his cases past his boss. It was a relief to see it but left us both rather disapointed that we were not able to celebrate the decision on the day of our interview. Her green card arrived on the 19th
