I got my stamp today, just came back.....
Dukhi, Lucy and all, thanks to all of you, here is what happened.
I had my AOS interview today at the Atlanta office, receipt date Mar 13 '02.
It was a breeze, interview was scheduled at 10:30 am, we reached at 9:00 am.
Had to wait till 11:20 am or so, I thought they must be finding my file or something. Finally, we were called by ELANOR F. (IIO).
It lasted for only 10-15 mins, she called us in saying I am going to be interviewing you for your AOS.
Asked for my Passport and EAD card. Then she asked for my Birth Cert. My wifey also gave her originals, but, she kept only my copies.
Then she asked for last 3 years Tax returns, we had a new 864 as initially we had a joint sponsor as wifey was not working then. We mentioned the same, she did not even look at them, just punched her paper work and put them in her folder.
No further questions asked, she just arranged all her paperwork, asked where was my lawyer. We mentioned that he had told us that his presence was not needed, she just made me sign a waiver.
Then, she stamped my passport and told me congatulations, now you are a PR, took my I94 and EAD and sais now you can use this stamp to work and exit. This is good for a year, your actual card will arrive in 8 months max, if not, please follow-up.
She did not need to see our marriage cert, pics, joint lease, joint home-owner, accounts, nothing. We had taken a big bunch of three folders, but, she did not ask for anything.
Atlanta office was really really cool, the officer was not real friendly, but, not rude either. In fact, she was really polite and nice.
Thanks to this forum, a big thanks to all of you here. All you ATLANTA folks, have patience and wait. Keep on following up and if you get your FP notice, be prepared to get the Interview letter within a week. And yes, though, my letter was sent to my new address, on my file folder with her, the lady had my old address as she asked me are you still in Dunwoody? I made sure that she has my updated address and remind them to take your pictures for your card for you.
DUKHI: PLEASE KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR UPDATES.
LUCY: I WILL BE POSTING MY EXPERIENCE ON KAMYA.COM AS WELL.
Thanks to all you guys.
