The dreaded removing conditions appointment

[jjrbus 0]

I am a terrible record keeper and I hate paperwork!! I have done nothing the way a properly prepared person should do.

We filed for the removing conditions and I did my best to do a good job on it. It was not well done, but I tried. Then we got the letter for the appointment asking for, well check the link and read the letter. Way beyond my capabilities to provide all that!! So I did whatever was easy and nothing else. I'm old, I can be cranky and I can afford a lawyer to get me out of a mess.

So we go to the interview in Tampa Fl, arrive one half hour early. We are told to wait in another building and we will be called. 40 min later we are called, go into the main building, purse and briefcase go through scanner and we are sent down the hall around a corner and wait to be called. We sit about 10 min and a young lady comes out and looks like she has been grilled, no smile. What I assume to be her husband is immediatly taken into the same room. He is loaded with photo albums, I'm talking like 5 big ones!!! maybe 200 photos each. I do not know what stage of the process they are in.

At that time a young man, the case officer comes and asks for my wife, I start to get up and he says in a nice way, not you just your wife and her paperwork!! I'm thinking oh no!! Not my poor wife and the briefest of papers, I'm sorry honey.

After a little more than 5 minutes she comes out and says let's go. Its my turn I say. She says no we are leaving. I ask her what happened? (I'm thinking she is being deported and the police are going to arrest me at the door) She says the officer asked her for her ID Then took and kept her Green card (expired) and stamped my passport. They said I will get a new card befor Christmas!!

Her version of inside the office, the officer asked how long she had been married? Where we met? and what I was doing in the Philippines? I was traveling Asia and went to Manilia to get a perscription from the VA clinic, she tells the man.

He asked to see the title for the house we bought in Feb, Took here card, stamped her passport and told her goodby!!!!! He Did not even keep the copy of the title I included.

The stamp says "serves as temporary I-551 evidenceing permanent residencey for one year"

WONDERFUL! So glad this turned out for you both (I've been following your "thread")!! I guess the interviews are not something that should be feared as highly as they are ... at least if you are legit (I remember, for my initial PR application two years ago, the interview took all of 2 minutes and the woman was just so nice ...). Congratulations!
