Maybe if people sent the copy of the letter they get sent for the interview with the list on it, someone could compile details for each service center?

My list is the same as Andrea's as we used NYC as well. My list is online if you did a search of the archives.

You're home and not working and have computer experience. Why don't you set up a chart but preface it with the fact that mileage varies from DO to DO.

Man, I am so scared. I'm going to spend the next month and a half completely petrified. Ugh

LOL.. well if you read the interviews on the link Rete posted, 90% of the interviews are plain sailing as I am sure yours will be also.

I read them
Butttt, most of those people were here on a K-1. I'm just soooooo scared that they're going to deny me because I'm not here on a visa, and (I think) worked longer than I should have on my J1 a few years back (I was unclear on how that visa worked, and honestly just didn't bother finding out at the time). Plus my husband gets really nervous and I'm scared his head will explode or something in the interview hah

Read some of the San Francisco posts, there are several posts from people marrying on visitors visa's, seems they got no different treatment to anyone else.

I also have a previous arrest from when I was a minor. I'm scared to DEATH about that. Charges were dismissed... does anyone know if this is going to be an issue?

inquisitive40

The personal question is "what was the arrest for?" The type of arrest makes all the difference, for instance stealing a car in Ireland when you are a minor is called "joy riding" a misdemeanor offence in Ireland, here that is a felony and a VERY serious offence.

The arrest was for shoplifting a 5 dollar computer game when I was like 14. I was given an absolute discharge, therefore have no criminal record.. AND was a minor, and under Canadian laws, all police reports/court reports were destroyed as soon as I became an adult. Theoretically there should be no way for the USCIS to know about it, but of course I checked off the "yes" box on the I-485 where it asked if I had ever been arrested. In my accompanying explanation, I simply explained that I had been arrested when I was a minor, receieved an absolute discharge, and have no criminal record. I'm going to have to bring a letter from the court stating that they have no record of me. It SHOULDNT be a problem, I don't think... but I am still absolutely terrified.

I think most likely all that will happen is you may be asked some questions about it at the interview, other than that I don't think they could stick you with "moral turpitude" for stealing a video game at 14yrs old.
