I just thought I'd pass on our AOS interview experience in St. Paul....

Our appointment was at 2:30 and we waited about 30 minutes before our interview. We were greeted by a friendly woman named Lori. She swore both of us in and proceeded to ask us questions; basic questions like our DOB, address, phone numbers, etc... She asked us when we met, when we decided to marry, where and when our wedding and reception took place and if there were family members present.

She did not want to see any supporting evidence; I had literally prepared a mound of paperwork about 3 inches thick.

She only wanted to see photos....

The interview took about 15 minutes... and She was approved!!!!!!

The immigration officer did not put a stamp in her passport or remove her F1. I questioned this but she said that this is not practiced anymore. She said that Michaela's GC would come in the mail in about 2 weeks.

This morning Michaela got an e-mail from USCIS stating that her "Welcome to America" letter had been mailed.

We feel very lucky that this process moved so smoothly for us.

We were married on March 3, 2007 and sent in our AOS packet to Chicago on March 18th... it is only May 22nd and she already has her Green Card!!!!!

I hope that everyone elses AOS process works out as smoothly.... Best Wishes to everyone....

Wow! That was fast! I thought St. Paul was back-logged or something, because I haven't heard from them since my interview 3 months ago. Congratulations! :dance: . Was it a blonde lady who interviewed you? 'cos she was mean to us. Anyways, I'm going there next week to find out what's going on with my case.
