[sdchargers 0]

Hi, I am the US Citizen, my wife is French. We have our interview in January and would like to know if everything is fine with our case. I am a US and French dual citizen, and I met my wife in France. Here is our story:

- March 2008 in France: met and started dating, we met in France and were going to the same university and were enrolled in the same program.

-September 2009: We were both accepted for an university exchange program in the U.S. She entered the US on a J1 exchange visa (no 2 year requirement), we started living together in the US.

-March 2010: The exchange program ended, she went back to France.

-Early April 2010: She came back to the US, on a J1 trainee Visa she obtained at the French consulate in Paris, France. The J1 trainee Visa is based on an internship offer she received in the US. Our university requires us to do a 3 month internship which explains the choice of the J1 trainee visa. No 2yr requirement for this Visa either. She entered and did her internship.

-Early July 2010: We decided to get married. Marriage took place mid July. She stopped her internship at the end of July.

-August 2010: We filed for AOS

This March, it's going to be three years since we started going out together. Our marriage is bona fide and we have all the required documents. Our interview will be in January 2011. Is there anything we have to worry about? Is there anything we could do to help our case?

Thanks for your help!

Nobody wants to go out on a limb and say everything will be fine because that's impossible to know. You haven't mentioned anything that sounds like it would cause any problems. Assuming there isn't anything like that you've forgotten to mention, then bring ample evidence of a bona fide marital relationship to the interview and you should be ok.
