Hi guys, just heard from an old friend who coincidentally had an ex-boyfriend who married a Canadian gal and they recently had their AOS interview. Just wanted to let you know about one thing that surprised me:

She said the officer was a bit put off by the fact that they didn't have kids (seems odd to me) and she really grilled them. She even asked to see their house/apt. keys and examined them to make sure they match! I just thought that was interesting and I wanted to share it. :-)

How can you have kids in 90 days that you have to get married and apply for AOS? A little more waiting for AOS interview but many don't have even 9 months from the date of getting to USA and the AOS interview (for us it was less than 5 months.) Ha Ha Ha. I think it was all a joke.

Not everyone goes the 90 day AOS route (myself included). They had been married for almost 2 years at the time of their appointment. That lady was being discriminatory, in my opinion. Maybe it was a joke, I have no idea. Do immigration officers joke? hehe. :huh:

thats too much.

i hope i will not experience this tomorrow for my interview

I wouldn't worry about it. I think this was an extreme case. This couple hadn't known one another very long before they got married and I think they said some suspicious things, at least that's what my friend said.

I highly doubt this would really apply to anyone, but I just thought it was kinda interesting.
