Will everybody please put their timeline in their signature? It helps us to see how we are all progressing. We're on the same journey and it is nice to celebrate the little victories, but to do so, we

I did the same for the timeline. Hopefully some of the mods see this issue and fix it so that there is an option for one who is doing AOS via LPR. Best of luck!

Usually, its like that, but correct if i m wrong...!

Could you guys share as what supporting docs you will bring to the interview? Our problem is we don't have group shots with both families together.. and we got married in May but no official wedding yet.. we are actually planning for next May because then I will have AP to travel for a destination wedding--does this make sense to anybody? Also, we have no joint assets or joint bank accounts.. we did date for 3 years before marriage and live together at a rental place. Any warnings or advice?

Everyone gets a conditional if married under 2 years.

Definitely, try to get at least a joint bank account. Add her/him to your health insurance benefits, car insurance and so on. Pictures without evidence of financial ties are useless. thats my advice.

Also, you could get a letter from US Citizens that they know you both and can testify to your relationship.

The interview letter says in case of emergency or medical conditions, you can call to reschedule the interview. I personally think your case could justify postponing it but always safer to consult a lawyer or someone who has done it.

Btw, thank you guys for your advice to me.. I'm loving it here.. you guys feel like family in this very special time throughout this somewhat unique process.. it's amazing how people originating from all different home countries can feel so close..

good luck on your interview! Per my attorney's suggestion, we'd better provide joint rental lease/property/car, utility bills with names of both party, pictures of wedding ceremony with families and friends etc. I'm a bit worried on the supporting document as well, because we don't have all the materials attorney mentioned. We don't have a formal wedding (we even paid 10 bucks in the chapel for a witness, lol), and we used my hubby's SSN to sign up all the utils and auto loan since I didn't have one at the time and felt unnecessary to change the name later on. I'm still positive on the interview although we don't have these "official/best" evidence. IOs are human, they should be able to determine if a relationship is real or not
