(copied and pasted from the March filers thread)

APPROVED!

It was pretty quick...they wouldn't let me take my cell phone in so I had no idea what time it was and we were waiting and waiting, then they called my husband's name (only they called him Marco...it's Mirko and all the papers said so). The officer we had was nice enough, but not friendly. I was expecting her to direct the questions toward either me or him, but she threw them out there and whoever answered answered. She asked:

-how we met

-when we met

-when we got married

-what kind of wedding

-if we went on a honeymoon afterward

then asked if he'd been in trouble with the law, asked him our address, and asked "you came in as a visitor, right?" and he said yes. She also asked if either of us had been divorced, if it was our first marriage, and if there were any children. She took our joint documents, but didn't even look at them. My binder of evidence was about four inches thick, and she only asked for our 2006 taxes (mine and my mother's) - no pay stubs, no employment letter from either one. She punched holes in everything (she glanced over the taxes) and put them in the file. Didn't want to see any pictures, nothing.

Then she asked for his passport, started fighting with his I-94 and finally got it out. She had the I-551 stamp right next to her, so I'm pretty sure she was going to stamp it, but then she said "Your passport is expired..." and he said yes, he has to renew it (it expired end of 2006) still but she said, "I'm going to approve the application, but since you've only been married for a few months..." and explained removing conditions and said the green card should come in the mail.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :jest::dance::dance::dance::dance:

They didn't say anything about namecheck, so I'm assuming we'll get the green card soon?

I SURE HOPE SO!

From filing to approval: 55 days! WHEE~!

Oh god, me too. They were calling a lot of couples in separately so I got even more nervous (I'd be a little more nervous without my back bone, even though I have nothing to hide), and I really had to go to the bathroom but didn't want to get up because what if they called us and I was in the bathroom!?

Congrats (mutter, mutter, mutter)

I really am happy that it took 55 days for you.

I am just bitter cause we are in the 200's.

Sorry, I almost didn't want to post it. :( I'm paranoid maybe we're in name check and she didn't tell us or something, but I'm super-paranoid about everything.

Don't for a second think I'm not hoping for a speedy approval for all...my husband was here on a tourist visa, so it was the biggest relief in the world hearing those words. (Like I said...paranoiiid.)

Congratulations :dancing: :dancing:

That is awesome, I'm really happy for you. From other approvals I have read where the officer was practically snippy, you seemed to do great. It's just a shame the passport expired, huh? No worries, they say the GC arrives pretty speedy.

Again, our congratulations.

Congrats (mutter, mutter, mutter)

I really am happy that it took 55 days for you.

I am just bitter cause we are in the 200's.

And to my darling hubby, I say "248" but whose counting :lol:

Wow, that is great news!! Congrats to you. I know the feeling. Except my husband did go to the bathroom and just as he was half way there the officer called my name so I grabbed our evidence from the floor and started sprinting out of the waiting room to catch David before he actually got to the bathroom - I caught him too, but the officer started laughing at us telling us that she would allow him to go to the bathroom. :P It was really funny because as he was walking he almost guessed that we would be called when he saw her walking into the room while he was already out :blink: . I guess she knew we were the real deal when I started running after him telling her that I had to go find my hubby in the bathroom! :blink:
