Congrats!

My wife and I were in the Charlotte office today(for the second Monday in a row....we had to come back, more on this later) and we were approved today, she got her green card....umm the stamp in the passport!

She needed a translator, and that really helped us out and I had to show some extra paper work but we were prepared.

I am brief about all this now because its still sinking in so I will write a full review soon about the two trips to the interviews and why.

Congrats again!!!

I want to know what happened, I mean why did you go twice. My interview it's tomorrow at the same Charlotte office.

Hi M. Thanks. Some things to think about:

(1)If your spouse does not speak good English please arrange for a translator to assist him/her. VERY

important. Way before our interview I stressed to my wife, who is Russian, that she should have a

translator help her, but she insisted to go it alone. Plus our Officer was very quiet and I even had trouble

understanding her. So from the first instant I knew she was going to clam up. My wife understands me

fairly well but has trouble with say some of my friends, living in the south has its disadvantages, plus

English is as we all know a hard language to learn. I feel for her. I want to learn Russian and she is

teaching me some, but we agreed English will come first.

(2)Have all your papers with you, even 2006 Tax return and recent pay stubs. When I submitted our

papers for the AOS I had not yet filed my 2006 return for self employment. I did however estimate my

yearly income. Bring lots of papers, bills and accounts with both your names on them.

We elected to return for a follow up interview a week later because my Wife did not fully understand the

officer and her question. She really went into depth the second interview about Communism, and rightly

so because the box was checked "YES" on our AOS form. Also she wanted to see my 2006 tax return and

I had just filed them late this past week. So she kindly allowed us to return in a weeks time with a

translator for my wife and my 2006 return. I also gathered extra check stubs from my wife's work, she is

self employment like myself, and that really saved us because I alone did not meet the mark. Which makes

me sad because I make over 38,000 a year but only showed over 4,000 profit and she pointed this out on

line 37 of my 1040. Anyway I always knew that if my wife and I were together we can make it.

Good luck tomorrow!
