AOS Approved in Indianapolis Today

[CanadianEd 0]

Greetings everyone!

I have been lurking on this forum for several months. I have not had anything to contribute but have found the information available to be very helpful.

The following is our story:

I am from Canada; entered the United States with TN-1 Status Summer 1996.

My wife is a USC.

We met Summer of 2001 at work (we work together).

We started "dating" sometime Summer of 2002.

We got engaged October 16, 2003.

We married November 6, 2004.

My last TN-1 trip was Jan 12, 2006; valid until Jan 11, 2007.

We filed for AOS, EAD, and AP July 28, 2006

Receipts for each of these were received August 10; dated August 7; stating receipt date of July 30, 2006.

Received Biometrics notice on August 13; dated August 11; appointment date August 22, 2006.

On August 23 we received notice from lawyer that they received RFE for my wife's tax return. We never received this RFE and thus do not know what date this was generated.

Lawyer resent the requested information August 30, 2006.

September 15, 2006 we received a notice dated September 13 stating we had an interview October 24, 2006 in Indianapolis.

We arrived 10 minutes prior to our appointment time, checked in, sat down.

We were called approx 10 minutes after our appointment time, guided back to the DOA's office, raised our Rt hand, swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and sat down.

We signed a statement that we wanted to proceed without an attorney, and then were asked to produce ID. The questions were rather standard compared to ther stories I have read on this forum: 1) current address; 2) am I a terrorist, etc...; 3) confirmed how I entered this country (TN-1).

The questions to my wife were also rather standard: 1) Current salary; 2) How did we meet; 3) how long did we date; 4) Where was she born.

For proof of relationship, she asked for documents, we produced bank statements, pension statements, and insurance statements.

She then approved our application and advised us of the need to file for removal of the conditional status 90 days before the 2yrs comes up.

I asked her if she wanted to see the wedding pictures; she declined. I told her they were great pictures (sarcastically); she declined again.

She said the green card would be received in the mail in approx 2wks. I asked if it was ok for me to continue working where I am now or if I needed to stop working until the green card was received. She said is was not an issue. She also said they do not stamp passports anymore. She assured me it would be ok to continue working.

She congratulated us, walked us to the door. I said "last chance, ....are you sure you don't want to see our wedding pictures"; she laughed, and emphatically stated "No!".

That was it.

We were back in our car after a total of 35 minutes.

There was no mention of the FBI name check. I didn't bring it up in the event that she overlooked it.

She also did not take my I-94 with the TN-1 status on it. I hope this does not become an issue.

Congratulations to you! I had my AOS interview last week. My I-94 wasn't taken & I did not get a stamp either... The interviewer just told me to wait for the results in the mail... I'm sure you'll be alright...
