Before that, you might want to update your signature since it still doesn't show your CC date. You got a CC, eh?

Regarding your question, the embassy is right. Getting an IR-1 visa means once you pay for the immigrant fee which is 165 dollars , then you will be given a 10 years green card which means a permanent residence because your marriage is more than 2 years old which means you don't have to remove condition. Marriage less than two years means CR-1 green card that is on condition. So having an IR-1 means you wont remove condition. We also have an IR-1 visa, we are in the same shoe..lol. Regarding what will happen at the POE, you will be given an envelope , this envelope you must give it to the officer at the POE and you must not open this envelope, only the immigration officer at the POE will open it and then process you. They will stamp your passport, upon your entry, the IR-1 visa is valid for one year but actually before the expiration of this visa, you will have gotten your 10 year green card in the mail. yes you can work immediately. You just have to go to SSN office and apply for one but if you tick yes on your DS 260 for them to send you the SSN, then they will send it but as for me, once my husband arrive we will not wait , we will go to SSN office the following day to get that done as soon as possible. that is all. Congratulations once again

thanksss Samlyd!!! I appreciate the help )))

Well, the reason why I'm not nervous is that I've had so (too?) many job interviews in the last two years!

I've had 30+ job interviews in the last two years (and many of them turned out to be a big waste of my time)! LOL!

I've become a "professional" interviewee (without getting a job offer)!

[TeaCup 65]

Ok, I just panicked a little. Last month I had to replace my laptop and lost all my scanned documents of IV and AOS packet, IV I can replace most with copies and originals that I already have. BUT. I do not have copies of the entire AOS package

• How important is it for me to have this at the interview? Do I need to have my co-sponsor fill out alll the forms again and send them to me to bring to the interview?
• Do I need original tax returns/transcripts for the interview? (Im not sure which one) or are scanned copies ok? (I sent scanned ones to NVC)
• My husband has not worked since 2011 and therfor has no tax forms. I provided a letter stating this at the NVC stage but reading reviews I'm worried they're going to ask for proof and I don't have any? My husband will be present at the interview.

Thank you in advance!

One you get your medical done in Pakistan, do they give you two packets of your medical or only one? Someone told me they got two packets, one for the interview and the other for Poe. Hubby only got one when he got his medical done. Is that a bad thing?
