April 2015 AOS filers

[Thokozile90 2]

We have our interview tomorrow here in Las Vegas at 12:15 p.m. While I love to say that I am cool, calm and collected, that is not the case. I am anxious and I am unsure why. We filed back on March 31 and have not had any RFE's. Did Biometrics and went through and received the EAD card no problem. We have everything in order as far as our paperwork is concerned yet still I am nervous. We have all of the required paperwork from the list in a binder along with a joint car title, three months of bank statements, a joint utility bill, two joint credit card statements and made a hard bound book with approximately 200 photos spanning from 2006 to present. I am the USC and my partner the beneficiary and we have been waiting for this day for a long time now. I will be reporting tomorrow in detail on the experience.

It's normal. My husband and I were so nervous we didn't finish our breakfast but we didn't have any problems. Mostly the ones who have problems are the ones who marry just for the card. They know that people do it and they have signs that tell them if it's legit or not. You guys will be ok

Your interview is the same date of our wedding anniversary :).... I wish you the best during your interview. Please let us know how things go. Good luck!

Awesome, will do. Thank you!

Just got back from the interview. Here is the recap.

We arrived at 11:45 a.m. for a 12:15 p.m. appointment. We were let into the building at noon and were asked to sit and wait until our name was called. It was myself and my spouse, our attorney and an interpreter. After 45 minutes we were called in by the officer into her office. There were only three chairs in her office so she asked that the interpreter leave and that I (USC) translate during the proceedings. We were asked for identification and we were given instructions about how the proceedings would work. Were told that we could ask questions at any time and that at any time for any reason we could leave the interview but that by doing so we would be defaulting the application. If at any time we wanted to stop the interview and ask the attorney for advise, we could also do it. She turned on her monitors and on one of the screens was a document that said congratulations on your I-485 application. We hadn't even started the formal interview and the officer had already made her decision. My spouse couldn't see it but I could so that inside assured me quite a bit. She printed that document and hid it under the application.

We were sworn in and we were asked how we met and how long we had known each other. If at any time during the relationship we had separated. We answered that and moved on to verifying things in the application. First they asked me (USC) and then my spouse. We answered all questions in the application, primarily to verify that all the information was input accurately into the system. At the end she looked through the pictures we had submitted and asked us where we got married and where we worked.

She took out the paper she had printed initially and provided it to us, congratulated us and off we went. The entire process took under 20 minutes. We are super super excited!

What we brought to the interview were all the original documents, plus more pictures, a photo book I made online, bank statements, credit card statements, insurance paperwork, joint car title. I asked her is she wanted to see any of it and she said no. Again, her mind was already made up before we went into the room.

We initially filed March 31, 2015, so it took us 140 days from beginning to end. Good Luck to all my fellow applicants. The build up to the interview is intense and nerve wracking but just remember just to be honest and there is no question that you should be able to answer as you are the ones that are living the relationship.

Again, for those whose interviews are coming up, be ready and stay calm and all will be well. For those waiting for the interview dates, hang in there.

While I would love to celebrate this right now, unfortunately , I have to get back to work. The smile on my face will not go away even if I am at work against my will.

Congrats!!! I'm looking forward to ours next week. My wife (K-1) and daughter (K-2) will be stepping up to the batters box.

I just got off the phone with USCIS and contrary to what i was told a few weeks back abt expecting a reponse/interview schedule by the 20th which happens to be today, i have just been informed that i need to wait another 57 days to hear from them as they currently have backlogs. So as usual im still waiting.
