Interview Date / No wedding rings / Los Angeles USCIS

[dcp19 7]

Hi Vj'er's!

 

Happy to announce a AOS interview for my spousal GC has been set for May 16th. Hurray!

I sent my application in on Jan 22nd 2018 and had one RFE. Relatively smooth sailing even I missed out on my Easter Holiday back in the UK (over zealous with my AP calculations!)

 

We don't have wedding rings as we're saving them for our second wedding next year. Is that cool?

I guess they can't judge what we choose to do...or can they? 

 

Any other interview tips for the Los Angeles branch welcome also.

 

Thanks and I hope you're having a relatively stress-free VJ time too.

Wait so you filed January of THIS year and already have an interview date?! Man, I'm jealous.

 

As for rings, don't worry too much about it. Wedding rings don't make or break a green card case. If it did, everyone would wear them. They'll be more concerned about seeing how you guys interact, tell your stories of your relationship etc.  I'm also an LA filer. From what I've read, the office seems very professional. You should be fine if you practice together a little bit. Good luck!!!!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I think I went crazy with our relationship evidence, so maybe that helped push it through. (?) Who knows, but I'm glad it's happening soon. Good luck with yours!

I filed in Los Angeles January last year (PD 1/17/17).

 

I got my EAD approval on 5/3 and interview notice on 5/4 (interview date 6/7).

 

We were approved the day after the interview for my 10 year green card.

 

My case was not exactly run of the mill, but the IO was very polite and professional throughout. We received the case held for review letter at the end of the interview. We self filed and didn't receive any RFE's throughout the process.

 

I can't remember if my wife was still wearing her wedding ring at the time (she had to have it cut off due to a swollen finger and now wears it around her neck) and I no longer wear a wedding ring but have my wife's first name initial tattooed in my ring finger. I don't think rings are a deciding factor at all.

 

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Anyone care to share what questions they were asked for the interview in Los Angeles?  Or is there a resource or link I can take a look at?  Thanks in advance.
