Hey guys! Quick update:

Las Vegas office - scheduled for 8:10 am showed up 15m early, waited about 20 min

Got called in by a very nice officer and it lasted literally 15 min- asked some basic questions: how did we meet if my husband is from Vegas. Asked about our joint apartment we already had 2 leases and we told him we lived together before getting married.

He asked some formal questions off the list like military service, communist participation etc.

Asked about my college education "I see you came in on student visa" and I said yes I graduated and got a job etc.

Asked about any trips taken together - we brought a 500 picture album so I quickly located all the trips to Cali, Colorado etc. and he asked about a few family gatherings to name people in the pictures.

Our file was extremely like EXTREMELY organized - accordion file with each section labeled according to the check list (so like "marriage based evidence" and in that section there would be "plastic inserts" (here is me with a confusing description- it's a plastic separator for a binder but it had 2 sides to insert files so we put pay stubs originals in one side and all the copies on the other side - that way there was no hassle, if he asked for something we just pulled out one tab like joint bank statements, other tab would be joint purchases like gym membership, purchase of bed, etc.

Officer was very friendly and APPROVED us!!!!

Case status updates came as text message 1 hour later.

Green card will take 4 weeks (big busy city)

Sending love and luck to all those waiting, be confident and have faith!

Ps. Please ask if you have any questions because I'm so excited and about to go celebrate with my husband and friends!

Congratulations!
