AOS approved, San Antonio TX

[Canuck Carrie 1]

Based on the other reviews from San Antonio I was expecting a cake walk. Nope.

I am the 'immigrant'.

Briefly...

Appt was at 1:30pm, we got there at 1:15pm and were called at 1:40pm.

Escorted upstairs and to his office by the inteviewing officer. On the way up in the elevator he asked if I had my Biometrics appt, I said yes, on June 13, 2006.

Were asked to sit down with me on the right side. IO sorted through some papers, asked us to stand and swear under oath.

Then came the questions... We were asked:

- our ages (I'm 8 years older), this raised an eyebrow

- our previous marriages, any children. The IO asked my husband quite a few questions about his previous marriage, when married, for how long, why it ended. Got another raised eyebrow since I've never been married and have no children. I guess women are supposed to have these things by the time they're 36

- about our engagement

- about our wedding

- about our courtship and visits before I entered on K1

- my husband about his education, job history and plans for the future

- me about my education and what line of work I plan on looking for

- me about my family

- proof of co-habition. He took into consideration that we've been married less than 5 months and didn't have much proof.

- how many times I've been to the USA

and a few of the "are you a terrorist/prostitute/criminal questions

- he took my I-94, told me about removing conditions

- he didn't check either of our IDs

- he didn't ask to see photos, but we convinced him to look at ours after the interview

Most of the questions were directed to my husband, the USC. He even told my husband about how I should apply for an EAD if I really wanted to work.

He told us we were approved, pending my FBI clearance and we were given a wait time of 3-4 months for the clearance.

We were back in the parking lot by 2:10pm

Does this mean you have to wait 2-3 months for your EAD and green card and everything??

I didn't apply for EAD or AP since San Antonio is pretty quick about issuing interviews but I do have to wait for my green card.

Is most everyone winding up on the FBI namecheck list? We just sent our AOS packet in yesterday, and I don't know yet what to expect. We'll be going through San Antonio, as well, so we didn't file for EAD, but perhaps we should have.
