AOS INTERVIEW SUCCESS

[katehuber 0]

Hi i had my interview yesterday in Jacksonville and got approved YIPEEE

The interview was a breeze and really nothing to worry about. I honestly believe that as soon as they meet you they know whether they will approve you or not. The guy that did our interview was great, very informal and only asked for the bare minimum of paper work. I didn't even need my Vaccination supplement or 1/2 the paper work asked for on the int letter.

All those months of worrying and stressing were completely wasted, we were in and out in 30 mins. I think that if you come from a country similar to the USA (UK, Germany, France, Holland, Denmark, Canada etc- A a strong country where the benefits of living in that country are no different than here) than you are more than likely to have an easier interview. Several times i was asked why would someone from the UK want to move here when life there is so good - especially when you have had to give up your job, your home, friends and family. I think those that are coming for a new / better way of life are those that they are cracking down on. We were quoted that 30% of the AOS interviews are fraud cases and are denied for one reason or another.

The only snipets of advice i can offer is:

If your pregnant take some proof ..a doctors letter, hospital letters, scans, etc. ( we were asked to prove how we wouldn't be a burden on the state whilst being pregnant)

Take more paper work than you need. I went in with a whole bag full of photos, cards, journals etc, etc. Although your not asked for it - i feel that it makes your relationship more real.

Good luck for all those going through this process.

I'm out of here now for 2 yrs.

Wow, what great news just before the arrival of your baby! Now you can relax and not have to worry about immigration, just have to worry about changing nappies instead! lol. All the best.

I disagree the way you categorize the STRONG COUNTRY and those people from those STRONG COUNTRY get easier interview than others. I've seen a lot of people from WEAK COUNTRY(following your rule) get quick and easy interview. I don't care where you from, who you are.. but just don't discriminate against people regardless of nationality. The thing is that you are just one of those people to come this country thru your spouse who's a us citizen. Nothing more and nothing less.

I agree.. If you dont have access to approval statistics from different countries then its hard to make such a generalization. I guess the shoe bomber being from a "strong country" he couldve gotten a really easy time at an interview huh? anyway u are entitled to your opinion about "strong" vs "weak" countries.

Congrats on the greencard.

Congratulations! I think you're definitely right about interviews being easier if you're from certain countries. I always imagine (and hope!) that interviews are much easier when you're from the UK.
