I read the story of greentrain who failed the interview twice and they think it is because they were married before. This is my second marriage, I got married 9 years ago in Romania and divorced 4 years later in the US while on an H1B visa and had no greencard application started at the time. So I have been divorced 6 years and this is my first AOS application and my first marriage to a US citizen. Should I be worried at the interview because I was married before?

Adjusting from B1/B2

Exactly 3 months from the day we got married till the day I had both SSN and GREENCARD in hand !

If your first marriage did not result in an AOS being filed, then I don't think you should be worried. People get married, divorced and married again all the time.

Also, i am curious about "greentrain"'s story. where did you read it?

You were right, we got the interview appointment letter today for Mar 12 in downtown San Diego

I was curious, did your online status change with the interview information prior to you receive the physical letter or did your status remain "ready for interview scheduling" but then you got the interview letter?

thanks,
