My husband and I got our interview time for the Green Card for Sep 9, at 10 am. YAY!!!! This is wonderful.

However, I have a small problem.

I'm the one trying to immigrate from Canada. My husband is an American citizen.

Now I'm really really nervous. I probably shouldn't be but I am anyway.

See, they are going to ask alot of questions. I can answer alot of things, but there are things that I will never ever remember the answers to, or I will be lucky if I remember. I hope they don't ask things like his sisters middle name, for example.

The reason I'm so scared is this...

I was in a car accident in 2004. One of the things I had was bleeding in my brain in new places and a skull fracture. Sometimes I have to be reminded on things that happened when I was a kid, and if something wasn't really significant at the time it happened (even if it was just a month ago, or even a week ago) , I might not remember it. Its really not my fault. I don't try to do it and its made me cry in frustration at times. The part of my brain that holds memory was obviously a little damaged. I still can't taste things right and its been nearly 5 years.

I'm really scared that this will happen during the interview. Hubby and I are trying to talk about stuff but my problem is actually trying to remember it. I'm really scared I will forget something that they think I should know or that should be easy. I love him so much and I don't want to be separated because my brain decided it wouldn't remember something without serious prompting the day of the interview.

What do I do? Do I tell them before we start the interview? Do I just answer the questions and hope it goes well?

Please help.
 
Have a letter from your doctor explaining the issue, and any proofs that you have of the accident, + medical reports etc
 
Oh dear, that makes things really hard. I'll have to contact my doctor in Canada to get that, and maybe even Calgary Foothills. I hadn't seen a doctor in a couple years before moving here. Mostly due to laziness on my part. Most of it is recovered except for my sense of taste, my memory isn't all that great, and the occasional bit of pain in my leg.

Hmmm, maybe I should just contact Calgary Foothills Hospital for the information about my head injury. MY GP won't have that detailed stuff about my head (she knows about it but doesn't know all that much), though she'd have details about my leg.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It's no time for laziness when you have to prepare for a uscis interview ;)
I would highly recommend you get as much evidence as you can regarding the matter if you feel like it could be an issue during the interview.
 
Thank you. Yes, I'm scared it will be an issue. Its actually incredibly aggravating to me sometimes. Though, for all I know, it will take five minutes and we'll be done. I'm Canadian, so its not like I come from a suspicious country since I could have easily just stayed there. If I didn't love him so much, I wouldn't be here. Probably not a good thing to say that to the immigration people though lol. Or maybe it is.
 
^^ Haha, I've actually been wondering myself if that's a good or bad thing to say!

As long as you have plenty of proof and perhaps a cover letter explaining the situation, I'm sure they'll be more lenient and understanding... Stressing about it isn't going to help you any more either, so just be as calm as you can, answer as much as possible and be confident in the fact that your relationship is authentic. :) Good luck!
