well today my husband and I went to garden city for my AOS interview . I was nervous after having trouble finding his passport and birth certificate and then getting more photos emailed to me from australia in a mad panic and putting my album together 1 hour before , anywayyyyy we got there and the place was full with AOS cases and then the immigration officer led us to another waiting room. We waited about half an hour for a man to lead us to an interview room, he didnt smile at us but wasnt harsh. He asked for my passport and then asked me for my husbands and I's joint accounts. He then asked me all the no questions and then he asked how we met and laughed when we told him the story and he said he could tell that we were a genuine couple . He asked what do I like about my husband and what I dont and he also asked that to my husband the same questions. then he asked to see photos he flipped through them all of 5 seconds and then filled in more paperwork and said my greencard would be mailed to me in 3-2 weeks.

I stood up and thought thats it ???? all this stress for nothing LOL i was glad it was over but couldnt believe that was all it was ! Anyway we celebrated by going to the mall for a shopping spree cause its my birthday friday !

anyway all in all my husband and I couldnt believe how nice he was too us !

Goodluck to everyone at Garden City !!! (L):thumbs:

thanks all ! :dance:

no advice really ! just be overprepared like if you think in your head should i take it ... then take it . I mean he didnt even look at our marriage certificate, i totally think its up to the discretion of the immigration officer i mean it was very hot in there maybe he just wanted to get us out quickly LOL... I am just blown away to how friendly he was !!
