As some many know, I have been part of VJ for about a year. It took some years and a lot of stress, but the journey is over! I am sharing our experience in the hope that it will help many more. :)

Our interview was at 8:45 in the morning at Levesque building, in Coumbus, Ohio (there are many parking options around the building). When we arrived at 8:30ish at the USCIS floor, we were greeted by two really nice security guards. They look trough our papers, purse, etc, made us turn off (or mute) our cellphone and they made us walk trough a metal detector. They also took our interview letter and told us to go sit in the waiting room.

There were about 15 people waiting. Our interviewer called us in after about 5 minutes. She turned on a camera, swore us in and made us sit down. She was very nice, not very chatty and barely looked at us, but still very nice and professional. She confirmed my husband's (USC) information and mine (beneficiary), asked some of the I-485 questions and asked us if we had brought any proof. We showed her our photo album and I presented her with original of bills I had included in the package. I also told her that the only new proof we had was my name on his bank account. She took the paper proving this and declined when I asked her if she wanted to see anything else.

She wrote a few things on her computer, then on a paper, handed it to us and told us that everything looked in order and that she was going to recommend an approval and that we should receive the card in about 2 weeks. (Incidentally, I received an email almost immediately, saying that our card was in production).

All in all it was a very smooth journey and I am SO glad it's over.

I would like to thank everyone that helped us trough it. You advices and input were instrumental to our success! :)

Maxximus

My husband and I have been married for a bit more than 3 years, so I will be getting a normal green card, as opposed to a conditional one. It's good for 10 years I believe. Now all I need to know if figure out when I can do the citizenship thing and I'll be set for life.

I hope you guys have a great interview and that everything goes well! :)

Congrats, Kitty,

that was like saving for years for the dentist and having nightmares every night and once you sat in the dentist's chair he pulled the tooth without you feeling a thing in less than a minute.

You can become a USC on February 2, 2014. You can apply as early as 90 days before that date, which is somewhere around early November 2013.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

:rofl::rofl:

Kitty, despite your overstay and your pre-AOS stress related to it, you really had a very short and painless AOS process. Again, I am glad it's over and you can live a "normal" life. Now I hope you won't disappear from this website just like others did! :bonk:

Congratulations! :star:

Not only did a bad tooth get pulled out, but I got a lolly pop as well!

Seriously. It was pretty quick and I feel very thankful about the smoothness of the whole process.

And thank you for the info. While I was a little big sad to learn that the U.S. doesn't recognize other citizenship, I'm glad to know that Canada doesn't care and still recognizes its citizen.

Thank you. Quite honestly, I can't believe how smooth it went. My husband keeps asking what I will be stressing on about. :rofl:

You two, and many others helped a lot and you should get a lolly as well! :lol:

You have no idea! lol! People here kept being amazed at the amount of effort has to be put into an AoS. It was worth it. :)

Oh no . . . what did the dentist do to you!

Love my new adopted land... But I can't quite turn away a country as beautiful as Canada... And the free health care is always nice. :rofl:

Congratulation!!

It is such a weight off your mind to have it over :-)

Caro

As some many know, I have been part of VJ for about a year. It took some years and a lot of stress, but the journey is over! I am sharing our experience in the hope that it will help many more. :)

Our interview was at 8:45 in the morning at Levesque building, in Coumbus, Ohio (there are many parking options around the building). When we arrived at 8:30ish at the USCIS floor, we were greeted by two really nice security guards. They look trough our papers, purse, etc, made us turn off (or mute) our cellphone and they made us walk trough a metal detector. They also took our interview letter and told us to go sit in the waiting room.

There were about 15 people waiting. Our interviewer called us in after about 5 minutes. She turned on a camera, swore us in and made us sit down. She was very nice, not very chatty and barely looked at us, but still very nice and professional. She confirmed my husband's (USC) information and mine (beneficiary), asked some of the I-485 questions and asked us if we had brought any proof. We showed her our photo album and I presented her with original of bills I had included in the package. I also told her that the only new proof we had was my name on his bank account. She took the paper proving this and declined when I asked her if she wanted to see anything else.

She wrote a few things on her computer, then on a paper, handed it to us and told us that everything looked in order and that she was going to recommend an approval and that we should receive the card in about 2 weeks. (Incidentally, I received an email almost immediately, saying that our card was in production).

All in all it was a very smooth journey and I am SO glad it's over.

I would like to thank everyone that helped us trough it. You advices and input were instrumental to our success! :)

Good Lord, lass -

after 'all that' -

you had a painless interview.

How do you feel?

and ...

what did you eat to celebrate?

and :D

what's next for work !!!

I'm so happy for you !

I felt really silly. When it was all over, I turned to my husband, knowing he wanted to say "I told you so", but we were just too happy to pick on each other! :blush:

I worried too much and most likely was over prepared, but I prefer being over prepared for something easy, than dismiss it. I've seen many people treat their whole AoS process like a visit to the hairdresser, and then wonder, "why am I in trouble now?! what's going on with X and Y?! I don't understand what is required of me?!"

I can't remember what we had to night we came back, but once we got out of there, I had a Cream Cheese bagel. Might sound silly, but I have stomach issues, so to me, that was a special treat. But... My birthday is soon, I'm still waiting for Champagne! :rofl:
