Congrats, wavj, looks like it went great for you! :)

Oh, I just thought of this: my husband recently bought me a new macbook pro. We are both tech people, so those are the kinds of presents we get each other, heh (L) Should I bring the receipt of that to the interview? I mean, he never got me flowers or candy or any of the usual stuff (because I hate the idea and told him never to waste money on silly stuff like that), or will they think we're too weird? :o

i think u can bring watever u want.gift receipts,greeting cards,pics etc.my husband got me a computer recently too and since we have no much proof maybe i should bring a receipt too lol

Just received my EAD/AP combo card in the mail today!! Going to SSA in the morning to change my name and see if I can do a walk in at the DMV because the earliest appointment is 9/4. Maybe they'll be in a giving mood *rolls eyes

Also just realized i'm an idiot. My husband just filled out the emergency contact info and pickup authorization for my stepdaughter's school yesterday and it didn't dawn on me to make a copy until today. That was valuable bonafide paperwork to add to my stack. *hangs head in shame

dont worry,u gonna be fine.

Thank you everyone! It's been over 6 hours and I still feel so excited and happy. I very very excited to go back to school and pay in district tuition, I also will work a part time job and will have to figure out time to train for my upcoming marathons. Now is time to focus on all these things and some that I could not do before, such a great feeling of freedom!

Oh, I just thought of this: my husband recently bought me a new macbook pro. We are both tech people, so those are the kinds of presents we get each other, heh (L) Should I bring the receipt of that to the interview? I mean, he never got me flowers or candy or any of the usual stuff (because I hate the idea and told him never to waste money on silly stuff like that), or will they think we're too weird? :o

Although what the IO wants to see is purchases being under both names, I don't think it would hurt to bring the receipts and explain that is a gift from your husband. I thought on bringing the cards we have given each other for birthday, Valentine's, Christmas, etc, but I knew we had enough evidence that more likely they won't even go thru. You just have to be prepared with everything you know it will serve as part of evidence.
