Yup thank you. My husband make above the 125%. That is why I am thinking why I am not hearing anything from them.

Is it the same for all states then? $17.5k seems very low for 2 living in NYC 😂

They're supposed to judge things by the totality of circumstances; the 125% is a minimum.

Just finished our interview. We were there about an hour ahead of our time and they took our paperwork. I didn't realize they would ask for additional paperwork at the front desk so I had to go up 3 times with more stuff 😂 the lady was polite and friendly and we basically talked more about deers, seafood and our dogs than our actual application. She didn't ask any questions about our marriage or relationship. Nor did she ask about income. We went over my visas and I stumbled a little bit bc I had a hard time understanding her accent. She did question why I didn't study in England instead of the US and I said that the field I was in (autism) my education and work experience was more attractive since all our practices in Sweden stems from the US. She seemed to think that made sense.I did manage to see her notes that said "good bona fide marriage" and then she went over all the forms. I had forgotten to answer like 5 of the questions on there and I said our wedding date wrong, that it was October 17 and not 14 but in my head I was thinking of 2017. She made copies of our passports, drivers license and health insurance and my ead. She didn't say anything about approving us or when we'd hear for a decision so we are still in limbo. She didn't ask for photos so I asked if she wanted any and handed about 20 to them and the first picture was of us and our dog so we chatted even more about the dogs. Then she just said thank you and sent us on our way. It felt like it went well but I have no idea!

My tip is just to have everything that you want to add to your case ready to be handed in when you check in. The front desk is really friendly. Our IO was a lady from Laos and she was very friendly. I kept cracking jokes even tho everyone instructed me not to 😂 Good luck to you!
