Aug 2007 wife graduates
Aug 2007 - wife OPT granted for a year
July 2008 - File N400 for my Citizenship
Aug 2008 - wife OPT expires cannot find employer to commit as H1 sponsor - Lawyer advises her to stay in country
Nov 2008- Citizenship granted and visa number becomes current. Decide to file AOS for wife as a citizen
Dec 2008 - Lawyer files I-485/I-765 - sent to NBC.....Wait begins.. wife still with 180days of being out of status.
Jan 2009 - Biometrics done
April 2009- I-765 approved - EAD arrives in the mail
April 2009 Interview letter arrives in the mail for May 13th
May 13th - Interview - took 10 minutes, IO asked for no evidence or questions about our marriage, basic questions based on I-485 i.e name, address all those yes/no questions. IO approved case and stated it was a pleasure to meet my wife and I.
SLEPT LIKE A BABY LAST NIGHT....LONG JOURNEY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!
June 22nd 2009 - 10 year GC in mail......................
PS. Our lawyer sent a comprehensive package that was about 130 pages long with all the evidence they would need. i.e joint taxes, joint bank accounts, joint amex accounts, joint car, house, life, medical insurance, joint house ownership, lots of photos tec... I think this is why IO did not ask us any questions about our relationship.
