Just thought I'd post a quick message about our AOS interview today in Columbus, Ohio. Our appointment was at 8am so we got there about 7:50, went through security and sat and waited until 8:30 to be called back. The female agent was very businesslike at first but was very nice and to the point. All she did was go through the forms we had sent in and ask us our names, address, DOB, phone number, whether we had children. She also asked Paul some questions about being arrested or illegally obtaining immigration benifits. She was reading them off the form and checking them off. She checked our ID's and Paul's passport then asked for our certified marriage abstract (that's what you use in Ohio instead of a marriage certificate). And that was it! We were in the waiting room longer than we were in the interview. Interesting note to people going through the Columbus office: the office where you do your biometrics has moved from the third floor to the sixth floor. This was the first day of the change (they don't do biometrics on Mondays) so a lot of people were coming up to the third floor and the security guards had to send them to the sixth floor. So just an FYI if you have a biometrics appointment coming up in Columbus - go to the sixth floor. ha ha!

Oh by the way, she said Paul was "approvable" (whatever that's supposed to mean) and he should get his greencard in 4-6 weeks! YAY!

Thanks for all the help, VJ!

Thanks for all the congrats! It was really kinda a whirlwind interview. I even had to ask Paul how long she said it would take for him to get his green card. ha ha! That "approvable" comment threw me off a bit, but I know it's good news! I was kinda dissapointed she didn't want to at least look at the wedding pics. I even grilled Paul last night about who was in the pictures! ha ha! I knew he knew the answers, but we were practicing! Oh well, just waiting for the GC and happy to be done for a bit!

Congratulations!!

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
