Good job. What did you do to get your certified marriage certificate back so quickly? Did they record it and process it same day?

Absolutely nothing! The judge informed us it would be available 24 hours after the ceremony. Since we got married on Thursday evening, we decided to collect it on Monday. Could have done Friday, but we didn't want to make two trips to the courthouse in case it hadn't been recorded yet.

Awesome news Chris! Great to hear that the official stuff is going through in a very timely fashion, though really sorry to here about Kas' eventful trip over. You are together now, so hopefully the memory of that trip will soon fade and you can enjoy your future together :thumbs:

Little over 2 weeks till my interview now. Feel nervous about it, though i don't really have anything to be nervous about. Keep running through my head ''What if im denied?''. I have no reason to be denied, but still have it floating around my head.

I have all the required documents, passport, passport photos, birth certificate, I-134 signed and completed, with a W-2 wage and tax statement attached.

Is the W-2 statement enough, in terms of proof of income?

For the interview, yes. We had so much proof of income at the interview and Kas only needed one bit.

:)

You won't get denied. Be positive!

Don't forget interview letter, police certificate, ds-160 confirmation, MRV payment receipt, et al.

Maybe. That normally is the sidekick to a tax return, so in your future immigration things, like AOS, don't submit the supporting actor (W2) without the lead actor ( all pages of the tax return.)
