oh yeah i forgot to mention, because im in college and she lives 4 hours away. so at the moment i drive up every weekend to visit, until im done with school in may 5th when i can move in full time with her.

my plan was thinking that USCIS was going to give me an interview date on August or September, it would have been fine because by then i would be living with my wife full-time...but they shocked me by giving me an interview date on May15.. i never expected it to be this soon... so i guess they will be suspisious of me at the interview and who knows probably going to be grilling me and interoggating me and give me a hard time coz my wife and me live 4 hours away in different cities.

also i didnt go thru the K1 process.. i came here as a student BUT not to evade immigration, but to STUDY.. i simply came here to study and it just happens we are engaged and now married and USCIS unfortanetely might get suspicious.. would have been a lot less worrying if i had used the K1.

i'l need plenty of luck to get thru this one :)

Wow a May interview. That's wonderful! Congratulations! I noticed another VJ filing for the same local office as me. Their interview is 3 months 2 weeks after mailing in the package. I'm not sure if I am wishing for the interview or transfer to CSC anymore. If the interviews are moving this quick, I think I might just as well stay with the local office.

My I-130 & EAD were touched today. Earlier this week I had sent MSC a letter requesting that the misspelling of my middle name be changed (on NOAs1). MSC received the letter yesterday, and this morning I woke up to find the touches.

So - nothing presumably too exciting, except I hope that corrections will be made, and it is nice to have a touch after a week and a half of nothing.

Biometrics tomorrow! Whee!

The EAD and AP were touched today but no change in status or RFE notice posted. Nothing on the AOS. Biomentrics not until this coming Thursday.

I know no one knows what it means but I just had to share with my march buddies.
