Hello again,
All went well and very quickly at our AOS interview.
We got there early (way too early 6.30, sheesh, but heyho )
they opened the doors around 7.15, a guy asked for anyone with appointments and
we were first into the waiting room.
Waited for another ten minutes or so and were called in.
I had brought all original documents i.e passports, marriage and
birthcertificates, tax docs, health papers, employment verification, social
security cards and extra photo's. These I had placed in a separate envelope for
each of us and then had another large envelope for each of us with copies of
the originals in them and also had evidence of marriage items, photo's etc etc.

A very polite and efficient lady, asked us to raise our right hands and swear
to tell the truth. She then proceeded to view the original documents, took any
more copies needed from the envelopes I had provided. Took back our EAD cards
and the kids AP documents, as we would no longer need them. Explained the
conditions of our 2 year green card.
Asked the kids if how they liked America and if they had any babies ( made them
blush ). Asked me if I had been married before and all the standard questions
about terrorism and prostitution and so forth, which she asked us to just
answer yes or no.. Printed out a form each for Michael , myself and the girls
to sign regarding the conditional greencard and its expiry date.
Emphasised about making sure to file for removal in the 90 day grace period
before the 2 years are up, you can now do this online. Stamped our passports.
Congratulated us on receiving our conditional residency.
It took approx 30 minutes in all, most of which was spent adding papers to the
files already there. She did not seem to need to look at any other evidence we
had brought along.
A very nice quiet and speedy short time. It does indeed help to have things
organised and ready to hand over.
So many thanks again all.
Mike and I are grateful for the advice we have been able to glean from everyone
here. Also if anyone needs anykind of help from us please email anytime.
Take care all,
Jacqueline

Just want to make a correction here. In your message you posted the
following..."Emphasised about making sure to file for removal in the 90 day
grace period
before the 2 years are up, you can now do this online"

I think you misunderstood this. The I-751 should be filed in the 90 days
before the 2nd anniversary of becoming a CPR. And you may be able to
download the forms and fill them out online, but according to the USCIS
website http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/index.htm they are NOT
available for electronic filling. Since we just went through that, I would
have loved to have been able to file online!

Congratulations, and while you wait to file the I-751 read the posts here on
what to file with that form so you are prepared.
