Today my husband and I had our i-485 and I -130 interview at the Atlanta office. I just want to say a big thank you to all the people who post on VJ as it has helped me so much from begining to end. We we had a really nice woman called Officer Powell who made me feel so relaxed as I was neverous. She swore us in and went through the i-485 form and then asked how we met, when did we get engaged, married and then asked if we have any other supporting documents so we presented two utility bills in both our names and 18 pics of wedding,engagement and family pics which she asked could she keep...of course we said yes.

Then she said I am going to approve you, thank God we are just so happy. We explained that we have a holiday booked and she said do you have the booking confirmation which I did orginally put in the folder but took out yesterday as I had to email the hotel and forgot to put it back. She said that she would print out a letter stating that I was approved and if I could get a copy of the boooking confirmation today before 3.30pm they would stamp my passport so we went and got a print out and returned within 10 miutes and my passport was stamped...yipppppeee.
