Hey Everyone,
I wanted to thank you for your advise.
I took it and used it :)
We went to our AOS and it took only about 2 minutes of
questioning.(Seriously)
She asked us to swear in and then the first question was, Are you
still living together? She then asked if we get along well and then
she asked for proof of our living together as a couple.
I gave her copies of the mortgage... But I was missing about 5 of the
papers that were signed by my husband but I told her she could pull
the title of the house if she wanted and could see he is co-owner of
our home.
I gave her medical documentation to show we were both on the same
medical plan and then showed he was on the bank account.
I fell short of the income guideline for a family of 6 (WOW) by 300
annually but she did not care. I think she took into consideration my
husband was not working and if he did, 300 is nothing to make up.
My husband is now a "Legal Premanent Resident of the United States"
I would say from start to finish with stamping his book, we were there
for a whole 5-7 minutes.
Waiting in the lobby of the Nebraska center was a different story.
That was about 45 minutes :)

Happy Turkey Day Rene!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last question. So what comes next? I know this is immigration and it
can't be the end.

First of all congratulations.

What comes next depends on if you were married for less than 2 years on the day your hubby got his PR status. If it's less, then in 2 years minus 90 days you have to file for removal of conditions. Otherwise, in 3 years minus 90 days he's allowed to apply for naturalisation but this is up to him. Until one of these events you're done with the USCIS!

I think more congratulations are in order!

Happy Turkey Day to you, too, Jewels! Congratulations!! I believe you've been married more than 2 years, so the only next step is if your hubby wants to become a citizen, which he can apply for in 3 years (I think).

I'm so very happy for you guys!! You've come a longggg way

Best Wishes!
Rene
