The I 797-C letter was addressed to Denis (our son) and not to Katya; which was odd. I'm not sure if a separate I 797-C will arrive or not.

My boss wouldn't pay for insurance for Katya and Denis, so I have to pay out of pocket through Blue Cross or some #######. We also share a checking account now. Beyond that, I haven't done much reading about how to prepare this interview. With a date set, I now feel the urge to get prepared.

I slacked off on this process because Katya was doing all of the work. She filled out all of the AoS forms with minimal help from me. It was different trusting someone else with the paperwork. I took so much care in preparing the I-129F, spent hours triple checking before submittal. With the AoS paperwork, I printed out the forms, signed 2 checks, and shipped the package.

I haven't really checked this forum much the last couple months because there was more work to do around the house and less work to do related to AoS. But now we have a date, the May 28th at 8:15am. I'll probably wake up at 6am nervous as hell. I'll spend the next month reading, worrying and fretting about the upcoming interview. Good times. :P
