[MP0009 4]

Yay babay... really nice... How on earth ya'll got joint taxes- thats a big plus for even ROC applicants and ya'll got this in the bag

so wait u live in Dover and u have ur interview in Philly? thats like over 2 hrs away!!?

no wonder u goin to philly for 3 days! Good luck on ur interview!!

Me and my hubby went to Philadelphia, PA to see the downtown historic district and i thought it was great! We saw the liberty bell, and where the declaration of Independence was signed. And the museums, and Rocky statue! It was pretty, we really liked it. I wanna go to Washington DC and Virginia now.

Well we filled jointly, cuz for the past few years when i was working i was still paying taxes cuz I was using a Temporary Tax ID from the IRS. its funny, because its illegal to work, but if u do u can still pay taxes lol.. Its weird.

Good Luck

Thats the same thing I said- why I gotta go the two different states lol. We live in Wilmington, I went to Biometrics in Dover and now we're headed to Philly. Funny thing is, its the same distance to both of them from Wilmington (40 mins drive ). And like I've always been preaching, who knows what/why USCIS does what it do lol.

We are trying to come up with places to go and see. I love how u are soo into travelling ans sight-seeing, thats good. And I must commend you on paying ur taxes. Well done! As far as our interview goes, God will take care of us. thanks...

Yes, it's new one with GREEN color background.

How can we tell it's more secure than previous one?

[besaangel 18]

They installed some new chip into it. They sent a foiled wrapper to keep it in so it doesnt receive or send any radio frequencies when not needed

[choongchoong 1]

Yes, small foil-lined envelope came with GC. Maybe I should't carry GC although the law says we have to carry all the time.

MP,

I believe that a team like Germany deserve the cup no question. They are beating Argantina as if they are playing with Australia exactly(no offence to Australians) 4-0 OMG that's a real big score in a team like Argantina.

But the final is gonna be between Netherland and Germany. Everybody expected the cup to be for a south american team but it looks like going for Europe 95% chance.

Besa,

Comeon that's well known man T-Mobile is not a good carrier. It's not very bad but FYI in my city there is not T-Mobile at all. Can you imagine? I'm with Sprint and I like it. Sure thing Verizon is the strongest coverage.

Chooong,

Congraaaaats man you are no.2 of April filers, who got the GC so far. You got the Silver,, LOL

I just posted this in the wrong place, so I'm posting it again.

Just got back from the beach trip.

We had our interview on Wednesday. It was scheduled for 10:30, but we arrived about 9:30. We had to travel a little over an hour and didn't want to take any chances we'd be late. By the time we got there, we both needed to use the bathroom. The only way to go to the bathroom is to go through security at USCIS, so we thought we'd give it a try to go in early. No problem.

My husband, the immigrant, went to the bathroom as I collected our things from security. The security guard asked to see our interview letter and told me to put it in the slot on the door to the offices. I did so and then waited for my husband to come back so he could watch our stuff while I went to the bathroom, otherwise, I'd have to bring it with me and then pass it through security again. As I was coming back through the metal detector, they called my husband's name. That must have been about 10:00.

The officer asked our names before she admitted us into the office area. She introduced herself and led us to her office. She told us to remain standing and then had us take an oath to tell the truth. She told us to sit and she pulled out our file.

The officer was a young woman. My first thought was that she was so young that she must be a junior officer and she would not be able to give us a final decision. I was a little disappointed, but still hopeful.

She started with the basic questions about my husband's name, date of birth, etc. She asked to see our ids and then asked where we met. I let my husband tell that story.

She was very nice, but not overly friendly. She was very professional. She didn't let it go with just the basic questions. She asked some questions about our specific situation. We were both very impressed by her detailed knowledge of our case. As I've alluded to before, after a couple of years of living together abroad after we were married, we lived in different countries for a while due to work and the process. This was the only aspect of our case that I thought might be a cause for concern, so when she started asking questions about it, I worried a little. I had sent in a timeline of our relationship explaining the time apart. I'm glad I did that. She asked clarifying questions about that time.

After about 15 minutes of questions including the "Are you a terrorist?" questions, she asked if my husband had received his EAD. He had not as of that morning. She said, "At this point, you'll probably get your residency before your work authorization." That's when we knew he was approved.

This has been a very stressful experience, but looking back from this vantage point, it has been remarkably easy. We are so happy we went with the AOS.

Good luck, everyone.

Three more years before we file for naturalization!

[besaangel 18]

VIVA Espanol lol...

[GabiandVi 34]

I started preparing for the interview.

I have the following evidences of bonafide marriage:

1. Affidavit from my dad stating that both of us live with him

2. Both of our drivers licenses showing the same address

3. Joint checking account showing the past 3 months statements

4. IRA account listing my spouse (non-USC) as the beneficiary

5. Life insurance policy listing my spouse (non-USC) as the beneficiary

6. Joint TMobile cell phone account

7. Receipts showing both of us purchasing furniture together

8. Joint credit cards

9. Affidavits from my mom and uncle confirming our relationship

10. Wedding cards from our family congratulating us on our wedding

11. 200+ photos from our dating period, civil wedding ceremony and various social events

12. Letter from my employer listing my spouse (non-USC) as an emergency contact.

We do not have a lease, utility bills or home deed because we live with my parents. All those documents are in their names.

Is this enough? Will we need more?

I just got back from the beach and I see you've finally gotten your interview date. I'm so happy for you.

I don't think you'll need any more. We had none of the things you don't have and only one or two of the things you do have, and we were approved.

I think that you live with your parents is more than enough proof by itself. Of course, you should bring everything you have, but chances are, you won't have a chance to show anything.

Better not to carry around cus if u lose it, its a nice $300+ to replace
