I'm home and I'm .....APPROVED!!!!!!

So I promised an accurate report of my experience and here goes...

We left the house at 10 am to get to Philly, we were there with about forty minutes to spare, we looked for a coffeespot and didn't find any so

we went in at 10.45, went through the checkpoint and everyone was curtious and to the point, just like the airport.

We went up to the 3rd floor and went into the waiting room and handed in our letter to the receptionist, sat down and waited for our 11.20 which ended up being 11.30.I heard my first name and saw an older man with a really friendly face.

We went through the door and into his office, we remained standing and took our oath(very simple and quick).

Then we were seated and I was so nervous I kept wanting to just get things out in the right order...He continued by talking to my husband about what he did etc,...I then started to calm down because I realized they were just chatting! He then asked us some is this your name and your birthdate type questions and then asked some NO questions....He was chatting about us , himself all through it and I could tell he wasn't being calculated but very genuine.

He only wanted to see the pics because he loves to see the world and he asked about our income we wanted to give him all these copies but he didn't want them, he just needed to know we had them...

We were in there for a good forty minutes because it was pleasant and a good chat, my husband was asking him all sorts and he was glad to reply...

At the end, he told us that he does this to build America through one good family at a time and he said I'm happy to say welcome to America!

Not only was our experience pleasant but it only took 91 days! This IO impressed me so much and I can't help but admire someone like him, he loves what he does and it showed.

I was so inspired and felt so happy and gratefull.

My GC should be here in 2 weeks.

I now know it's true, if you really are married and a real couple, you have nothing to worry about, it's actually quite fun, like graduating!

CAN You HELP ME ANSWER THIS? Thanks

All those who recently filed I-485 package concurrently with I-130; questions for you.

I am an H-1B visa holder and have enough time on my visa. I just married a US citizen and I am filing all forms together. I have a few questions on the form.

I-485 (part 2)- Which box will be most applicable to my situation (A, or Other)?

I-485 (part 3)- Where is the NON IMMIGRANT VISA number on the visa? We assumed it was the one that was in red colour.

I-765- right on top there are three boxes stating " I am applying for.....". What do you think it would be since I already have a valid H-1B;

I-765 Question 11 - which box will be the right one ?

I-864- If my husband qualifies under the section 213A , Do we still need to file I-864A to fill in my information??

Also, as we are filing all forms together; which address would the package go to?

Looking forward to hear back from some of you guys out here... Thanks!
