Hello,
My wife and I was just interviewed for AOS on April 27th, 2005 in San Jose, California. She is a canadian citizen and I'm a U.S. Citizen. After the interview, we were given a letter stating "an additional review of your case is required before a determination can be made as to your eligibility".
I asked the officer if we had submitted everything he needed, he answered yes, and if more information is needed or a second interview is required, he would contact us through mail. Otherwise, if we were approved, we will receive a letter within 30 days with the green card following shortly.
The interview went smoothly, we didn't feel any pressure, and we had all the information the officer needed. Only thing I'm worried about is our wedding is rather simple, just my wife, me and our witness (my cousin) at the beach, in casual clothes. We didn't have a big dinner party or anything. But my wife and I had met for 5+ years, and married for almost 2 years. We had a few photos of our two families together, just not at dinner. Most of the other photos are of my Wife and I at different times in our relationship.
The officer asked why our witness is my cousin and not of our parents, we replied that we wanted it to be a suprise to our families, and they were told as soon as we received our marriage certificate.
So what does "additional review" mean? What is our chances of getting approved? Because I really see no reason why we would be denied? Are there people that gets denied on the spot, during/after the aos interview?
I don't know how I should feel after this interview. I feel a little bit worried, but don't see a reason why? Unless the Officer looks down on the size of our wedding, not being a traditional marriage with many people and dinner parties. But both my wife and I are in our 20's, its not that we don't want a big wedding, but we just wanted something simple now and save up so we can have a more sounding wedding in the future.
Please reply to my post, as I feel down at the moment because we didn't get approved on the spot, and not knowing what to expect in the weeks to come. Any help/answers would be appreciated.
Thank you.
