Our waiver was approved back in April in CDJ via the pilot program and my wife got her K-3 visa on April 13, 2007. We filed for the AOS of status in April and got our appt. for our interview which was today July 16th, 2007.
Got to the MSP office at 9:15, the appt. was for 9:30. We got called in at about 10:00am. So that wasn't too bad of a wait.
We get in there take the oath, and begin the questioning. Which was going good. It was wierd though because it seemed more of a Visa interview than an AOS interview. They were questioning my wife about how many times she entered, when she entered, how she entered, why she entered, pretty much every question about entries. Then they were asking about her previous work history and how and where she worked illegally before the waiver. Now granted she hasn't worked at all since she entered the country legally with her K-3. The officer wanted to know where she worked in the past, how she worked with what documents, which was a fake ss card, and fake green card. And she took a bunch of notes.
The officer didn't really ask us too many questions about the marriage. she fanned through some pics, some correspondence sent to us cards etc, and took the photocopies of the evidence I had of joint accts. and stuff.
After all of this she concluded, and said, "well I will have to thoroughly review all of facts of the case, and I will mail you a decision.:huh:" She didn't say anything about being approved or anything. I was kind of shocked.
I kind of had the feeling that she (the officer) didn't know anything about the waiver. I don't think it was in our A file either.
Oh well I guess we will wait and see.:dunno:
On a side note. I like the new forum!!! It is a lot better!
This is aleffert btw from the old forum, didn't post often, but was a lurker.

Well I called the Senators office for my district last Wednesday 7-18 and explained the situation to her about everything. And she told me she would send an e-mail to the Congressional Liason in Minneapolis where our case was. So I got a call from her back today, and she told me that the officer had "no record of us ever filing a waiver in Juarez in our file, and it was good that I decided to send a copy of the waiver approval to the officer because she had no idea that we ever filed a waiver, and the officer was probably going to deny the I-485".
The Senators office continued and said that they are waiting to receive the copy of the I-601 approval letter that I sent them before making a decision on the case...so I guess it's good I sent them a copy of the I-601 approval, now it's just more waiting.
What I don't understand is that on the visa it says 212 blanket waiver approved by DHS...don't the officers even look at things like that?:dunno:
