Arrived at Jacksonville, FL ASC at 8:30 a.m. (Kaye's appointment was at 9:00 a.m. and Pippo's appointment was at 9:30 a.m.) Rick carried baby Poppy while Pippo and I carried the two briefcases containing our documents. The security guards were very friendly, let us all in and instructed us to submit our interview letters at a designated slot/drop box. Sat down and waited.

Called inside by A. Wormser into his office (2nd door on the right). He had our files on his desk and he was very friendly as well. He started off by explaining how an adjustment of status from K3 and K4 was different compared to adjusting from K1 and K2. Apparently, all the evidence needed for a bonafide marriage was already reviewed and accepted when when filed the I-130, and all he was going to do was ask the silly questions (yes, he called them silly lol but said he HAD to ask them as part of the interview process) printed on the I-485 (Have you ever committed any crime involving moral turpitude or a drug-related offense? Have you ever been a prostitute? Have you ever helped anyone enter the United States illegally? etc.)

He did ask how Rick and I met, and asked Pippo a few questions (even commented on how tall she was for an 11-year-old). He went on to explain what Pippo and I were allowed and not allowed to do as permanent residents, including registering to vote (apparently, a lot of people make that mistake...you have to wait till you get your U.S. citizenship, folks).

I did mention to him I had all these documents with me...and all he really needed was a copy of baby Poppy's birth certificate! I also offered Pippo's SSN, which he wrote down on her form. Other than that, the documents and copies I had prepared for over 2 months and placed in my briefcases were not needed. lol (He explained that if he took the documents I brought, it would just make my file redundant with unnecessary copies...and very difficult to store.)

We were also informed that because this interview took place and will be approved after our 2nd year wedding anniversary, we will be receiving 10-year green cards in the mail!

Everything after that was pretty much a blur...all I understood was that we were approved. So now, I can walk away from USCIS for the next 3 years...till I apply for naturalization.

Hope this is helpful to other K3 and K4 applicants who have filed for AOS.

How come you are going to receive a 10 year GC? I thought you get it for 2 years first.

Got kids EAD card and instantly went to get SS#. The guy at the SS office did not want to give him the SS3 unless he got a paper version of I797 on I485 approval. I had to raise my voice and call in the supervisors. I have told them that they are wasting tax payers money. Told them that their right hand does not know what the left one is doing. Told them that is the USCIS issued the EAD card they had no reason to act the way they did.

On Dec 31st the card was in the mail. Now his paperwork went to California. Now waiting again. :-(
