I came to the US on a student visa and graduated in 2006. I got married to my USC boyfriend (now husband) of 4 years earlier this month. After graduation I started to work on the west coast, my husband is on the east coast because he is finishing grad school (but he also works full time) and will be done in Dec.2007 or May 2008 after which he will move to west coast.
We both have very good jobs, our backgrounds are spotless.
USCIS received my AOS application yesterday and hopefully will receive a receipt soon.
How long does it take to get the receipt after turning in the application? Will it be a problem that we are on 2 different coasts? We dated for nearly 4 years before marrying and we have plenty of proof to show for, but I am still worried USCIS will not like this. Is my worry valid?
We also hired a lawyer to do this AOS for us, and we worked very closely with the paralegal and the forms all look OK but I sometimes suspect that they may have purposely filled in something incorrectly to cause problems. Am I being negative or does this happen often?
I spoke to many lawyers who gave us free advice and everyone seemed to say that we will be fine, and someone also said that since we are of the same ethnicity, met in school, similar age, etc. we should be OK....but I am still very worried.
Sorry too many questions....I really appreciate your help!
