Better Late than Never

It's been seven months and two days since Stephen arrived in the U.S. on the K-3 visa and FINALLY America has greeted him with a "You're welcome". If we were playing by Nigerian rules, it would definitely be worthy of a slap for America---not welcoming my husband sooner.

We had our AOS interview last week on July 12th and the interview went well, although it was pretty brutal. It lasted one full hour (the actual interview) and the officer was VERY thorough in his questions. Right down to ridiculous questions like, "Who called who the first time you talked on the phone?" "What did you talk about the first time?" "How long did you talk for?" Neither one of us really remembered. Anyway, all of the questions were about the beginning of our relationship---no questions about our relationship since the k-3 interview. That kind of surprised me. After defending our relationship, we gave the officer our documents and he kept almost everything and looked through two photo albums of pictures. Then he let us go and told us that we would receive notification of their decision in the mail.

We both came home from the interview exhausted and had to take a nap. The whole experience was nerve-racking. The interview went pretty well though. Then yesterday we received an email stating that a welcome letter has been sent to my husband. We were both pretty relieved! Now once the green card arrives in the mail, we'll begin our two year break!!! YEAH!!!!

Congragulations Molly and Stephen on getting the green card!!! I am happy that you are at least done with immigration for the next two years, I know that is such a big relief. I hope that Stephen is adapting well to the US. I wish you both well!!!!

Congrats to you both !!!! When we went thru our interview, ( before I asked that our interview be rescheduled ) the Lady giving the interview was just going thru alot of questions that they normally ask. Then once I requested that she reschedule our appointment she was shocked and replied that she thought this would be an easy routine case due to us having a new born child, she said that is a strong proof of a " REAL RELATIONSHIP "

Molly seems like to me that the questions that she asked you were for later times, in case you all break-up and you try to claim visa fraud. Like now, one of the VJ Naija husband is claiming that his wife came onto him first and that she pressured him into marriage, and brought him to America and started mistreating him and enslaving him. They ask questions like that because they need to have it on their records who contacted who first and such so they could help work thru the lies later should they need too.
