Okay, so this might be a bit premature as we are still gathering documents to send out the file before our interview so it will be several months before my husband and I have to go in however, I've read a couple of people's horror stories and so I was hoping that someone out there had some kind words of advice and could give me a realistic idea of what to expect.
Here's sort of an outline of our situation, my husband and I met in Vegas in early summer of 2012. He was living and going to school in North Dakota and visiting Vegas and I was having a weekend get away with some friends. I lived in Los Angeles. As soon as we met we both knew that something was there and even though we went back to our respective hometowns we kept in constant contact and eventually started a long distance relationship. He is originally from China. I'm a US Citizen. A year to the day we met he proposed and we were married a month later. We had a VERY small wedding literally just the two of us (although we were married in a chapel not at city hall) because neither of us have very much money and because I went through the ordeal of a huge wedding when my best friend got married and I HATED it so I decided that if I were to ever get married myself it would be just between myself and the person I love. Neither of our parents were able to attend the ceremony (his parents are in China and mine live in the US but my mother just underwent serious heart surgery and cannot travel). We did have a small get together with some friends after the ceremony but that was about it. We have a lease together in Los Angeles however, he is traveling back and forth from North Dakota to finish up his schooling and run the small business he has there. He plans to move here permanently when those things are taken care of. We do have a joint bank account, I am on his health insurance, and we both are dual owners of his car (my car is in my father's name). I'm not sure if there's any other proof we should establish. We do have a lawyer but sometimes lawyers are kind of a hard to understand. I know that they made him have a friend fill out some paperwork because I don't make enough money (literally not even enough to file taxes). But that's about all I know...
I just could really use some advice because I'm starting to feel like we're both in way over our heads and all we're trying to do is spend our lives together. The last thing I want is the possibility of being separated from him, he's not only my husband but my best friend. Thank you in advance.
