Yay.

Not much trouble at all. I was a little worried because we don't have any joint assets, and the only thing I had to show for that was putting the family on my employers health insurance. So we showed the insurance cards and a bill from the clinic for my wife's checkup.

I also forgot to bring pictures of the wedding. DOH

Anyway, it was pretty much a breeze. We had to help the lady put all the name changes in order (2 for my wife, 3 for her son). She was a little confused about that, and On had to explain that changing your name is no big deal in Thailand and everybody does it.

I think she knew we were legit and was just trying to satisfy her checklist.

Questions asked:

Who proposed to whom and when?

Age difference?

How did you meet?

The rest was formality, she made On and son answer all the formal questions again that are on the AOS checklist. Then she said she'd approve it, took our employment authorization cards, the entry visa from the passports, and said we'd get the green cards in about 2 weeks.

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between August 7, 2009 and August 22, 2009.

Our interviewer said he couldn't answer if we passed or not. which was odd. only questions he asked us was where we live and oddly enough, many questions about my brother.... we passed anyways but still... always remember the could ask you questions out of the blue and then elaborate on them.
