Yay!

We had our interview yesterday, the interviewing officer was gruff, but fair! I thought he was quite intimidating, though my husband didn't really agree (I guess after boot camp, nothing's intimidating).

He asked all the standard yes/no questions, and a few about how we met, etc. He seemed mostly concerned about our paystubs, seeing our ID's and joint insurance info.

He didn't ask to see any of our pictures or personal stuff at all!

Anyways, he took my I-94 and EAD, but not my AP (is this going to be a problem???) and he put the I-551 stamp in my passport.

I'm so happy that we're done for now :star:

Congratulations! No, not taking your AP won't be a problem. You don't need it anymore and it would expire at the end of its year any way, so you have it as a souvenir.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
