That is rather odd, do you think anything in your I 751 packed may have led to this?

Did you have an interview for AOS? I was looking at the Immigration Timelines link and none of the entries show an interview date.

And I'm sure you are too!! :lol:

Looks like you sent more than sufficient evidence. As I thought, you're among the lucky ones picked for the random sampling for QC purposes. :)

I got the same letter advising to await interview and had sent in even more evidence than you. I was really miffed! However, turns out someone further down the line decided that an interview was not necessary after all, and although we waited longer than some at our service center we ended up being approved without interview.

I don't think either way you will have any problems as you obviously have sufficient evidence of joint lives. Maybe the Supervisor will decide when they review your file that you don't need one after all like they did with us.
