AOS Interview was today

[Gooden 0]

My husband and I had our AOS interview today in San Francisco. I'm scared it didn't go so well. We were nervous and my husband stumbled over a few questions. Such as our address, but quickly corrected himself with correct address but messed up on the last digit of our zip code he said 94608 instead of 94609 the 08 was from our previous address. He also, forgot the names of my kids schools. He new their ages but not dates of birth. The immigration officer also didn't seem to like the fact that my wedding only consisted of me, my husband and my mother at City Hall. I feel we didn't have enough evidence, just a lease agreement, auto insurance (which my spouse's name is recently added, due to the fact I just got this policy and my husband has no CDL so why would I previouly add him to the policy) and joint tax returns for the past 2 years. We don't have a joint bank account (I couldn't add him to the account until we fininish taking care of his overdraft from another account) In short, the officer left the room for a period of time with our lease agreement and my husbands passport for about 15 minutes and then returned with a I-485 Adjustment of Status Interview Results. The box checked is: your case has been continued for futher review. The officer said the will contact us if they need anything for the review.

I know I should be thinking positive and just relax until another notice comes, but I'm scared! Is it possible my husband could be denied and we will be forced to live oceans apart once again?

Always a possibility of denial - you may want to get more evidence of co-habitation together - and perhaps some affidavits from friends/family describing the relationship.

Nik had some hesitations and completely blanked when she asked about one of his trips to visit me.

On the other hand, I think we had all of our evidence of relationship in the bag so we were able to pull through - Maybe you didn't have a large wedding, but did you have any sort of celebration afterwards? Or get any nice cards (addressed to both of you at the same address etc)? I agree with the others, start gathering evidence of co-mingled lives.

The gathering afterwards was dinner with me, my husband and my mother. Me and my husband then went to beautiful B&B in San Francisco and spent the night it was New Years Eve but we opted out of going out on the town. I've never had a close family, and never dreamed of having a big wedding with them all there. I always figured I would go somewhere like JA and get married on the beach just me and my love and then relax there for a few week, having a wedding and honeymoon combo. He however, has a huge family that are very close. Had we decided to marry in JA our wedding would have been big. But at the time I didn't want to marry him in JA and then go home alone and hope that he would be approved to live in the same country as I. If it were just me I would have done it and moved to JA to be with him if he wasn't approved, but I have 3 kids and there life and family is here in the U.S. But at this point I'm not sure it makes a difference because he could still get sent back to JA.

I'm sure you'll do well. My tip to you is make sure you and your hubby go over the forms you sent in for the adjustment backwards and forwards so there is no stumbling (even with the nerves) and bring lots of evidence of your relationship. I wish you the best of luck. Keep me posted as I will you!
