Hi guys,

Good day!

First off, most of you can still remember my case (1-485) We were first denied because of USCIS mistake - we were the few unlucky "interview cancelled" victim.

But we were able to straigthen up our case but with lots of frustration, worrying and waiting months.

Today, my USC wife and I had our interview this morning in St. Louis, MO.

The AO was a male in his 50's, very straight forward. He asked us immediately for our ID's and talked about the denied case we had before.

Then he confirmed my name, address, date of birth, my SSN, work, my visa status when I came here in the US and the Yes or No questions then he also confirmed my wife's name, address, birthday. He double check if he had on his file our marriage certificate and birth certificates.

He asked my wife how we met and proof of living together as married couple. We only have a savings account and asked why we dont' have checking...wife explained she can't open a checking bec of bad check she wrote before. House bills, insurance? We don't have because we are living with our mom and the rent is free, bills are all in mom's name and we just give our share of the bills. Glad we have an affidavit from her attesting the rent free and house bills payment, AO got that sworn statement. We don't have insurance together as of this time bec I can't include my wife yet, I am still very new with my work.

After that he asked if we have photos together and we gave our photo album, he photocopied some pics like our wedding pics, photos with friends and family (about 6 of them)

Then he said you were only married less than 2 years so I give you conditional GC, he didn't asked my passport, my 1-94 and he didn't even asked my EAD card.

He gave us a letter to signed together and after that he said we are done. We are hoping at the end of the interview the AO will say something like "congrats you are approved"

But as per my Atty after the interview, I called her and read the copy of the letter we signed, she confirmed we are approved!

Here's what the copy of the letter says we signed after the interview.....
