    Hey! Congrats on your approval! My only question is about the officer's attitude- was he/she polite enough not to notice any difference between your couple and "traditional" couples?

    It was a lady. She was very professional but at the same time pretty informal. She had a super positive attitude. She was nice, made jokes and explained us how this was something she had to be done with. 

    I haven't been in a "straight" / "traditional" interview to tell the difference, but nothing related to being gay was brought up. (I was kinda anxious about the "who knows about this?" kind of questions, but if you are in a real relationship, I am gonna guess they don't actually care who knows, unless you bring up lots of red flags)

    Let me know if you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them! 

  2. Hi Guys, 

    I have been a silent reader of this forum for months, so I finally decided to give my contribution. I am sorry if I didn't update you throughout all my steps. This is such a supportive and informative community so thank you all about that.

    Day 180: 06 Apr 2017 Interview scheduled for may 10th

    Day 214: 10 Apr 2017 Interview (Very chill at the Lawrence MA office, approved on the spot. I had 2 giant folders full of stuff she didn't need anything... and I thought that we didn't submit enough things at the beggining.) 

    Now waiting for GC in the mail. It should come in the following weeks they said. 

     

    P.s. to the friends part of the community this was a same-sex marriage. We applied less than a month after the marriage. Our story was new (~1yr) so we were kinda worried.. but no red flags means very smooth process. 

     

    P.s.2. The whole paperwork might seem overwhelming but you can do it. We didn't hire a lawyer. Do not spend thousands of $$, you can do it yourself. 

     

    I am here to answer any questions! 

    Best of luck to all of you that are waiting!
