AOS meeting held in Indy on Dec 15, 2005. Arrived 1hr early and waited in lounge until scheduled meeting time. Officer called our name and lead us to his office. Very nice friendly pleasent gentleman who swore both of us in under oath before suggesting we take off our winter coats and get comfortable. We then exchanged ID's including passports & driver licenses with photos. He then asked for applicants' birthdate, date we were married and 5 generic questions to the applicant from the I-485 form including crimes, leaving country, organized activity, terrorism and assisting other aliens. He asked us to then present all evidence of marriage (from the large envelope I dragged into the meeting) which included copies of:
Joint Bank Account statements
Joint Credit Card statements
Bride and Groom Employment Confirmations
Pay Stubs
Auto Insurance
House Insurance
Power and Telephone Bills
Retirement statements detailing beneficiary
Copies of all Health, Credit and Bank Cards
20 odd pictures of wedding, and recent family gatherings
3 Xmas cards (two which we opened in front of Officer)
Officer advised that he was quite satisfied with the evidence provided and documents in our file (about 1.5 inch thick) and granted us AOS approval on the computer while we waited. He took my EAP card and then advised us on the 10 year card to be filed within 90 days from today's AOS two-year anniversary date and we signed a form to that effect.
I asked about the 551 stamp and asked if he could stamp my passport in case I needed to traval abroad before my GC card arrived in the mail. He said he understood and was more than happy to stamp my passport and even extended the duration of the 551 stamp for one year from interview date.
On our way out of the office, he stopped at the form centre, provided us with latest I-751 form, suggested we check the website in case the form is updated, congratulated use and we wished each other Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas.
Took 15 mins and was a breeze.
