Hello All i am back. work keeps me busy... but here is a recap of the past month :)

My interview was on Feb 25th.. at 10:30am (it was snowing and raining and smart me decided to wear heels figure i almost fall 3 times while walking around in the Federal Building.. what a way to avoid attention hugh? my husband could not stop laughing) .

A "Young" IO took care of us (i was seriously expecting some mean white old folk) he was very serious but his appearance couldn't play along with his intimidating behavior.

Not a hello straight to the oath. sat down our documentation was already on the table. He asked each other for each others names. asked to put on the table any proof of bona-fide that we had brought and wish to attached to the files.

Questions were very simple parents names, each others occupations, where we live rent or owe. One questions we couldn't answer was our previous address and questioned it by asking if we never visited each other but we explained we knew how to get to each others places and that we basically lived in school since we both have the same profession.

Started looking at our albums of pictures (which we were kind of iffy to show since most of our pics are of us partying and drinking) and in effect the IO burst out a laugh when he saw our Halloween costume. made us pick two pictures for them to keep.

He did not give us the approval immediately because the were going to go over the documentation.

Today, 6 days after, i130 was touched :: card production ordered :jest:

I am really happy these processes have been smooth and painless of all of us.. Good luck to those who are still pending :)
