Hey y'all
We had our green card interview yesterday (Friday). Approved on the spot. Got a notice this morning that card is being produced.
It has been a long and crazy journey as most of you have experienced but we are grateful and thankful Hallelujah- Praise God!

If you have any questions about the interview or what we did, please let me know.

Thank you all for being awesome!

Hello guys , I just got my interview notice , should I do another medical exam even taught I had one done last May before I came to the us ?

The medical is valid for a year if done before Nov 2018

This all depends on what the IO says/does.

Validity of 1 year is what is written but not always observed.

I've seen many people get put into AP until a new medical is produced even though their medical is fresh.

I suggest NOT to do one unless asked. But perhaps take a few mins and know the closest medical folks close to you in case you get an IO that demands one?

We did our medical in March (which is older than yours) and just had our interview. IO didn't even bring it up

Good luck!

What questions did they ask? Did they ask for any documents or did you just give them a folder with everything on the letter checklist? Tell us everything lmao

When we had our interview we were required to do a new medical which set us back three weeks. They ask for the updated medical at the interview and we were surprised and disappointed based on that request being subjective to the IO. Nonetheless it may or may not be asked for and our medical was only 8 months old. Just go with your instincts and just be prepared to have to do one if asked. Ours cost $200 to complete with a civil surgeon.

LOL
They honestly asked us like 5 questions?

1) How did we meet? 

2) how long did we date before marriage

3) Were we married before? Nope

4) Any children before? Nope
5) Verify address (we moved from Texas so they wanted to make sure it was all up to date)

Then they asked my husband the yes/no (are you a criminal) questions. Except IO didn't ask them one by one. He like picked 5 or so and asked those and then that was that.

 

Then he said "anything else y'all wanna add as evidence?"
I had a stack of stuff for evidence, which I made from the letter checklist (the ones that applied to us). So am like "uhhhhh... do you want anything in particular or like the entire folder?" They took the entire folder.

I brought copies and originals of everything so they took the copies. 

 

We spent more time for the guy to get his printer working than actually anything else. lol

IO had to make copies of our passports, license, etc

 

He took our EAD card, gave us a letter telling us about ROC and sent us outta there.

I swear-- I jumped up so much after that mess yesterday. 
The fact that I don't have to log in to check ANYTHING for 18 months is just great.

 

But I'll be on VJ. Am here everyday

That’s awesome. I was wondering if I should make a separate folder to give to them so I’m not fumbling with his VJ binder we have lol. 

 

Congratulations again! 

 

We’re a little nervous because John got arrested for drunk in public a few months back but his court date isn’t until February. We’re on edge on what to do because it’s a good chance his charges will be dismissed but worried it’ll delay GC approval. 

 

Anyone have any experience with this? The lawyer we spoke to said it shouldn’t conflict things but so much depends on the IO that day

I had four folders

1) original copies of everything

2) Proof of relationship

3) updated affidavit of support (I got a new job and moved)

4) original AOS packet.

 

So in my case, i just basically gave them the entire packet of proof of relationship when they asked. 

Hope that helps!
As for John- the reality is they MIGHT ask about if he's done anything against the law. If you have anything right now (i.e. court order docs, etc) take them with you. Don't worry about what you can't control. I doubt that's gonna get him GC denied completely.

 

Please keep us posted on how that interview goes!
