Discuss bobs's AOS Interview USCIS Case

bobs,
My wife also went to fingerprinting twice but nobody ever told us why prior to the interview. Do not worry about the interview, at least they told you in advance what the reason was - which was not the case for us. Prepare the required paperwork as per the interview notice and go get your passport stamped! An added benefit of the interview is that you get a stamp in your passport and do not need to wait for your green card if you need to travel out of the country. Make sure you get police clearance notices for your spouse from all places of residence in the US (for her) over the past 5 years. This is done at the county level so you can go to any sheriff station or police department (but call in advance to know how long it takes to get it done, also smaller stations might not do this kind of admin work). You have to pay for the document (small amount). In our case we went there and were told it would take 2-3 hours to get the document which was a bit of a surprise. Our AO, who was the nicest person, told us it was not uncommon to get fingerprints rejected. Blame those small ravishing hands your wife has! Nice to chat with someone form Nepal by the way.
Cheers,

Thank you for the response. We got clearance from all the place she has stayed in the last 5 years. For the back up, I am getting mine as well eventhough I was not fingerprinted twice. I have FBi clearance for police record for medical license as well which was done a year ago which I will take for interview. I was and am still in dilemma to get a lawyer or not. I believe it should not be necessary.
Thank you for the response. As a back up , we are also getting a letter from her MD residency program director that she has clean records as a criminal can not practice license in Ohio.
But it is frustating and a hassle.

bobs,

How was your interview? I hope everything went well.

It went very well. She was very polite. She asked 2008 tax return and current job letter for me. She then said my case was approved.
Then she told me we were called for interview as FBI could not read her finger prints. We told that we were advised to collect all police certificates.
We showed them from back home and here in USA. She said we were very organized and explained about all gc and citizenship process.
In the end she asked my if I have any qs, I asked about stamping pp. She said they have recently stopped doing it. However said if I have emergency, I should come with letter and infopass and they can approve the case.
I got CPO email today. I did not take any lawyer.
I would have never thought if getting police certificate if I had not gone thru this site. As a matter of fact, my lawyer did not mention it. I did not take any lawyer as I thought it would bewastage of money.
Thanks trackiit and the community.
