So I got a notice today saying I have an AOS interview appointment on the 24th of this month. I filed my EAD only a week after my AOS (as I made a mistake on the AOS check :(), it looks like I might get my AOS done before my EAD arrives! Which would be a waste of $180 or however much :P

The AOS interview will be interesting, with the exception of a joint bank account we don't have much documentation together! I'm sure it'll be fine though.

Oh... before I forget, is it likely that the interviewer will ask me about my work history? Or is the officer only concerned with the validity of the marriage & relationship?

We just had our interwiew 4-4-06. The was no questions about my wifes work history. Just if she was currently working. The answer was no because she is still trying to get her drivers license. They asked about previous marriages. Hers and mine. The joint bills they realize it is tough as most utilities (at least in Ca.) do a credit check and my wife is just getting started on her credit history so they will not allow me to put her on jointly. She is a sighner on all my credit cards ( which we gave copies of all the credit cards with our names on them. We took about 4 photo alblums and the interviewer did not even look at them. Just make sure if You have an ID card it has the same address as is on your husbands drivers license.

Good luck on your interview! Some parts of the immigration process seem like roulette to me. You send away money in the hopes that it will make something happen faster than if you chose a different path. Or you pay for multiple possibilities and dont use them all. It's just what we do to try and make it with those we love.
