We had our interview in Kansas City, Missouri on Dec 14th. Long drive! Once we got there, the security officer was super nice. He chatted with us, told us not to be nervous, and he gave me no trouble with my medication pump setting the alarms off (I told him it was all metal inside and would do so).

We didn't wait long once inside, before a youngish officer called us back. He too was extremely friendly, he wasn't intimidating, he just seemed genuinely interested in our story, and was easy to talk to.

I (I am the USC) was asked my husbands name, his birth date, his parents names, if I worked, what our address is, how we met, if I had met his parents.

He asked dh our dogs name, if he had met my parents, some details on the dates of our meeting/visits, and questions such as if he had ever killed anyone, if he had been through a situation where we wanted him out of the country, etc.

He asked us together about how our relationship progressed, if the baby was ours together, the size of our wedding.

He looked through our picture book, seemed to like the pics of our dog all dressed up at the wedding, scanned two of the photos from the 4th of July, and he took the letter our reverend wrote on our behalf (he seemed happy it was sealed, and surprised) to add to our file. He glanced at the stack of greeting cards I brought, which were from the wedding and baby congrats.

We were in there a very short time. The officer was great, and at the end, he said he would suggest approval. The computer systems were down, so pending one background check/higher up check (?) they will be putting the green card in the mail in a couple weeks. He would have stamped his passport right then if the computer was up, but instead he let him keep his work permit, and gave him a sheet of paper congratulating him.

I will post a review in the proper section once he finally has his green card. The uscis site still has us on "Request for Evidence Response Review" ... which is way outdated. I guess it wont do much good to watch for updates there?

Anyway, I am so thankful to be done with this for a couple of years, and a big :thumbs: to the KC office!

Thank you to everyone for all of the help getting us from our first posts about if a K1 was right for us, all the way to now, green card likely on the way. :)

The wait would be unbearable but it'll be worth it. It strengthens the love, it attaches you even more to each other, it shows how your man would do whatever it takes to be with you, that he will never give up on you because he LOVES you!! All the waits, stresses, tears, heartaches, all the miserable feelings you feel along the way will be paid off once you get what you've been hoping for...oh and WITHOUT PRAYERS? will be like trying to start a fire with water, JUST WON'T WORK!
