Infact I was thinking about JanFilers today. It's been so quiet here esp in the last few days/weeks. Seems like everybody got their GC's and ran away....lol.
I plan on being around atleast until my wife gets her actual physical GC in the mail.
Cheers

No news from sweetcitywife and Rose_uw. Haven't seen them in a while. Hope they got their interview letters and approvals too.

Sweetcitywife,
Most people on this thread are doing Adjustment of Status (eg: spouse is already in US). This site has a good description of the consular processing steps:

You posted that you received the I-864 bill, but didn't post since. This should describe your next steps.

Yes, exactly a week from tomorrow. The interview is scheduled for Sep 22nd at 9am at Atlanta DO. Please pray guys that it goes well just like the rest of us. Without a doubt, I will post the experience after we get back from the interview. I understand it's a pretty straight forward case with over 4 yrs of marriage and 2 kids together, joint assets like bank account, utility bills, car insurance, leasing paperwork, pictures from our vacation together with & without kids, airline tkts showing we traveled to few cities together in 2005/2006 and 2008, hmmmmmmm whatelse do u guys think of? Anything that I may be missing. Please give your input and thoughts, I need it. We have been waiting for this day for over 4 yrs, so you can understand the feeling. One thing which I was concerned about was my employment. I work on & off on various projects nationwide on 1099 as an independent consultant. My last project ended in July and since then I have been out of work and was looking for another project to start soon. I am hoping that this week I should get another project starting on Sep 23rd (one day after the interview). If I take the offer letter showing my start date and salary, I hope that will serve the purpose. I don't know how much having an employment counts esp on the day of the interview. When I had filed the case back in January, I was working on a project.
Hi everybody,
Just want to check in and wish Nothere2001, Atlanta_Brother and anybody else who has the interview coming up good luck.
No news on my side, except that I got the AP last week (applied end of June since I'm not sure when I can expect to get the GC) and got a job last month so have been pretty busy that's why I haven't been checking in as much as I used to.
Again all the best to you guys

Getting ready for the interview
It is past midnight now. My wife and I are going over the forms, paperwork and all the necessary documents to make sure we are ready for tomorrow. Thanks guys for the best wishes. I will post our experience after we get back from the interview. I have an appointment at 2:30pm with a client tomorrow afternoon. My plan is to come home after the interview, relax for a while and post the experience before I leave again around 2pm, but just incase I am not able to log on before 2pm, I promise you will hear from me in the evening for sure. Sit tight and pray for us. Catch you guys later.

No decision
Just got back from the interview. This is how it went.
We got there at 8:45am about 15 mins before the interview. My stupid idiot attorney was waiting for us in the lobby. We were called around 9:05am by this white male officer (age around 60). When we got to his office, there was this another chinese IO sitting there as well. I thought, may be that chinese IO must be jr. IO and would watch or must be training but it was the other way around. This chinese IO was more experienced than this white IO.
The interview started. My wife was asked to stand & raise the right hand & answer everything truthfully.
1) Can I see both your picture id's
2) When & how did you enter US
3) How many time have you been to US before
4) How did you two meet
5) How long have you been married
6) Are these your kids? We took the kids to the interview
7) How old are they? This little one looks quite old for his age, can we see his BC?
8) What did u do back home before coming to US? My wife said that she was a student.
9) What's your home address here in US
10) What is your SSN, show me please.
8) IO asks me, when & what time was he born & what about the daughter
9) Please show me your last year's tx return
10) Where do you work? If you are not working now, can we see a new offer letter showing start date and salary.
11) How did you get your citizenship, when & did u ever get in trouble with law. How did u first enter US? How did you get your GC and what year.
12) You guys have any assets together, like house or anything.
13) The officer kept my lease paperwork, credit card statements, last year tax return, birth certificates and most importantly I-94 from my wife's passport.
He saiid that everything looks great. Since we have dual files in the system, we have to wait for 5-6 days or maximum of 15 days. You will get the decision in the mail and if you don't hear from us in the next 15 days, my name is officer xxxxx and his name is officer xxxxx. You can come back and look for us, knock our doors and follow back with us.
That's it guys. I am a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to getting approved right away. I dunno what to think. It's just the matter of few days, weeks or several months for this dual file issue. Really don't know what to think anymore.
If you have something to share, please write back.
Thanks again for your support.
