So it's almost September 21st, and at 11am we will have our AOS immigration interview in Massachusetts

I've done everything I can think of - I've filled a 2.5" binder with all of our "submitted" paperwork, originals of birth/marriage/divorce papers, plus lots of extras like bank statements since filing.

Wife is currently putting all our photos into an album

We should be all set, and yet........... we are both extremely nervous

There really is no point to this post, other than to put it out there....

Our interview is scheduled in Lawrence, MA, in just over 11 hours....

My fingers are crossed.
