Interview Next Week & Just About Ready!

[Bang2xg 0]

Hello All,

Thank you to everyone with insight and advice so far. You've been most helpful and after this topic starter I'm sure you wont hear from me until I post that my wife recieved her GC!

So anyway, here goes...My wife and I came to the US from Europe in August of last year. She entered on a B2 with a notation "Prospective College Student" on her visa, which I think speaks clearly for her intentions upon entry. For reasons on which I wont elaborate in detail she was denied a change of status after putting in much work, time and getting documents together etc. She was given the 30 day period to leave etc. After consulting lawyer after lawyer we decided to marry and file for the GC. Now a year after she first entered with the intention to go to school she finally started classes this September with the GC application in the home stretch (the interview). Now all sorts of worries come up about the interview, and yes we've read through the many experiences here and feel we'll be just fine but we are a bit concerned with two things in particular if they should come up and they are:

1.) My wife did work as a babysitter before the GC application process. I also worked and continue to work as well but dont make enough to cover our costs etc as I can't seem to find a full-time position which is why she worked a bit. Will it be a problem that she worked before the filing for the GC or is that forgiven?

2.) She started classes this month while still on the expired I-94/B2 visa. Ideally she should have had the F1 visa or GC in hand to take classes but she couldn't afford to lose another semester on waiting. Or does this not matter while a GC application is pending?

As for items to bring to the interview we have the following: (Please let me know if this will be adequate)

1.) Joint Bank Account Statement: All kinds of "joint" purchases, (i.e. grocery shopping, video rentals, bill payments etc.)

2.) TMobile phone bills in my name with records of calls and over 600 texts a month, 95% of which are to her line and vice versa. (Tmobile doesnt allow more than 1 name on a statement for some reason) Our phones also store up to 3000 text messages, so I have plenty of stuff from Europe to now

3.) Letters from the University about her program of study and tuition information to her at our address.

4.) Picutres of our time in Europe together, here in the US with my family, the wedding, sightseeing, etc. Note: In a lot of

our pictures it's either me alone or her alone in the same environment because taking a joint photo holding a heavy SLR camera backwards with one hand is difficult, silly I know, but thought I'd mention it. Will that be a problem?

5.) We can get a lease agreement from my parents saying that we live with them and pay rent but dont think it will be neccesary. What do you think?

6.) An old receipt from Europe that shows a transaction from my bank account to her bank account.

Dont think I'm forgetting anything but let me know if you see anything, thank you.
