AOS Interview ended with a request for information

[TheMeghan 0]

Well my husband and I had his AOS interview in the Fairfax, VA office today and it was irritating. After an hour and half wait we were brought into an office where we were asked a minimal of questions. She got all of my husbands info and he was fine with his simple name address marital status, are you here for ill intent, ever been arrested questions. Then when asked my name I gave my maiden name. (I have less than a year of saying it and I was nervous) so I started off stupid. Then when asked how we met I told her the story. She just kept writing and writing with her evil red pen and gave us back some of the back-up we submitted that she decided she didn’t need and she just kept writing. My lawyer suggested that we mention I spent a month in India and I showed her the pics to prove it. She said that my pics could have been taken anywhere (now the next time I take a vacation I will think twice over my background).

She handed me back my tax forms and asked me for the W-2’s I did not bring my W-2’s because I had submitted my tax forms. She then printed out the EVIL Form: I-130 request for evidence. With the need for W-2’s checked and initially she had the box checked stating establish the bona-fide relationship for which I started to panic and bring up that my phone bills showed while he was in India last year we had spoken on the phone several times a day. She looked at the bills and asked him for his India phone numbers and she took the phone bills and said she would go over them and verify that the numbers matched the bill. So she reprinted the form and that line was not checked just the W-2 box but she told us that we should still provide any proof we can come up with for our relationship. She was very intimidating in this request. The w-2’s I easily have and found within 10 minutes after coming home but the proof of our relationship is freaking me out. I have been the only one working for the past year and we live in Northern VA/DC area not a cheap location so we kept it minimal this year. We barely went anywhere and when we went to the movies we threw away the ticket stubs. When we traveled to meet my family in Ohio we went by car you can’t prove joint travel when you go by car. We honestly had the most boring year of my life but we were newly married and didn’t mind staying home.

So what the heck can I do??? And should I be as freaked out as I am by this request for information??? Also what my husband and my lawyer suggested is that because I am overweight and taller than my husband and he is shorter that maybe the rep was biased against our physical appearance judging us that maybe since we aren’t matched that way how could we be matched in the long term on a mental scale?

Im sure you'll be ok. Everyone I knpow they put through the ropes but then send their approval in th email within weeks. But question, did you take any evidence at all? Wedding pic, lease, bills, accounts?

So far i see it good, lots of IO's asking for more evidence and i see there's no problem so what u need to do now is to collect some evidence like u said telephone billsm pics, cards, taxes. anything .. and take them to the office, .. from what i read that means ur Husband passed his test. this what exactly happend to me i was sent home because i forget to bring some paper he request it .. and was just fine with big Approved

Oh let me add one mopre thing about what u said <Also what my husband and my lawyer suggested is that because I am overweight and taller than my husband and he is shorter that maybe the rep was biased against our physical appearance judging us that maybe since we aren’t matched that way how could we be matched in the long term on a mental scale>
