We filed for adjustment of status March 2nd (that's when they received it) and our interview is April 26th. :dance: I'm nervous but everyone says it's a good thing, even though it's so soon.

Here's hoping for another successful Peru story! :)

I'm just concerned about having "enough" evidence. I mean, our binder is huge with letters and cards from before and after we married (we didn't do K1, so I figure the proof of relationship from before our marriage is relevant too). But at the time of the interview, we won't have been married 4 months, and while we opened a bank account, it hasn't gotten much use because of issues with my direct deposit (he doesn't have that option and tends to just cash the check). He's added to my credit cards (I'm putting them in my binder too, heh), I have a letter showing him as the beneficiary to my life insurance, and a dependent on my insurance (dental, but it doesn't specify), I have a few pieces of mail addressed to both of us (a wedding gift thank you, the first bank statement with practically no money in the acct b/c as I said...), tons of mail addressed to one or the other (not both) at the same address, and a photo album with pictures of our relationship - a few from my first few visits to FL, then photos from events like birthdays, our wedding, etc.

I worry about the lease and utility bills, but the lease is signed by him, his mother, and his sister (they live with us), and was signed when I first moved down here and it wasn't 100% sure what our future was. The land line is in his mom's name, the electric in his father's name (deceased, the electric company wanted to charge 300 dollars to change the name on the bill), and I have both cell phones in my name.

I feel like what we have should be enough, but I get nervous, esp. with my interview being so quickly. (Well, his interview, but I consider it mine too, Heh.) The financials aren't an issue, while my tax return from last year is below the required 125%, I'm now making 27,000 a year (that's not a ton, I know, but it's above what I need to) AND my mom is our cosponsor.

I think more than anything it's just nervewracking. I know overstay and unauthorized work are forgiven (it's a long story, concerning visiting his father and getting a call he was in a freak accident, and then he died, and the bills had to get paid, and they were going to return to Peru but were told there may be a potential lawsuit etc etc) but I still worry.

I need to get through it, mostly.

It's definitely nerve-wracking, even when you have everything ready. I just recommend taking all the evidence you mentioned, in an orderly fashion. Pictures are especially important. Due to the overstay and unauthorized working, be prepared to explain everything thoroughly, and have some evidence to back it up. Hopefully, this won't cause too much of an issue, but I'm not entirely certain. A lot of the interview is completely subjective. It depends on your Adjudicating Officer almost more than anything else. Be calm and confident and prepared, and you should really be ok.

The interview is as much yours and it is his at the AOS stage :) The length of your marriage doesn't matter much, except in what kind of green card he will receive. If approved, your husband will receive the conditional green card, which has to have the conditions lifted...but that's another issue!

Let me know if you have any other concerns...I'll do what I can to help (F)
