I can't believe I am saying this but I went to the final adjustment of status interview this monday past and was finally approved for my husbands and step sons AOS. The officer was so super nice and agreeable and he only asked my husband one question, what was the date of our marriage and it was only to tell him that he is getting his permanent greencard. : D I can't begin to express the relief you feel when they approve you and stamp that passport. Its like fireworks are going off...lol
