Just came back from the USCIS office in downtown Chicago and was approved. Basically the guy was very nice and for you people out there who worry about bills and leases not in your spouses name, I had none either. All I had was a credit card, a car and thats about it. Some pictures also of course. Heck he asked for some documents I didnt even bring and still didnt mind. He also didnt ask any questions related to my wife. Just asked me my name, date of birth etc and the same from my wife. The FBI clearance has also been completed which was a surprise. So basically its all done......thanx to every1 who helped me out. Will prolly need more help 2 yrs later to remove the conditions....thanx again....

That's great! The entire process has so much emotional stress naturally built in that I'm sure it was a huge relief to be greeted and interviewed by someone who was nice. Thank goodness for small miracles. Congrats!!!

Congrats!!! :dance::dance: It sounds like you had a great IO! I know we were way overpreapared and our whole process was only 20-25 minutes with wait time and hardly any questions were asked. A few of our joint documents were kept but our process was very straightforward, although our IO have a very serious tone (I think it is just part of their job).

Mohsin,

Congratulations!!!!!!! :P:jest:

I'm going to have an interview next month and am worried about joint bills etc too. Cuz right now the house and bills are only under my husband's name. The only thing we have together is photos, credit card and medical insurance. But from what you said, it seems that its ok this way. Hope I'd meet such a nice officer too!
