hi,

my AOS interview is next week and I am freaking out! There are several
things that are unusual about us, and I am wondering if anyone had
similar experience.

First of all, my husband (USC) and I are now living apart (2 hr
drive). We only see each other on the weekend. We lived together for a
year, but he moved away to go to a different school in Sept. and we've
been living apart since.

Second, we didn't have a wedding. We are both students without much
money, so we got married (eloped) in the city hall. As a result, no
wedding pictures with family/friends.

Third, since we are students living on campus, we have no rental
agreement (to show that we did live together) or utility bills. No
combined health insurance or life insurance.

What we do have: letters/bills sent to the same address for the year
we lived together, tickets/pictures from our various (international)
trips togethers, a couple letters from his family addressed to us
both, and a joint banking account.

Will we have a hard time at the interview?

Hi:



Tell the truth. Your case is approvable. You might have a problem if
you get the DAO from Hell. However, any problems will be exacerbated
if you lie.



Also, you don't seem to be "separated" -- as an analogy, if the USC
husband was serving in the 3rd ID in Iraq, the couple would be living
apart, but not "separated."



Also, even if you are "separated", the case may still be approved.
