And so we are finally done with the paperworks and rest for 2 years oh we need to report our marriage to the Philippine Consulate here in DC and renew my passport. We had our AOS interview this morning and everything went smoothly and the CO printed an approval notice right away and printed a reminder when to renew the residency and highlighted them so it's easier for us to remember and read.
I was kinda nervous because we forgot my husband's passport but since we are sure that they already have a copy and we have his original bc we are fine. When we enter the room I looked right away at our documents pile (about 10 inches thick) on the CO's table. She let us raise and swear and ask for our passports, marriage contracts, joint accounts, w2s, all proof with our both names written on it. Then after that she gave a page of questionnaire to my booboo and started the question to me. Basic questions but they are 4 pages whew, I asked her question which I was quite confused so she cited examples. After the questions, she asked for my employment letter which unfortunately I do not have but handed her all my pay stubs from Hilton time including the benefits application and my husband was noted as my beneficiary and visa versa with my husband's documents. She again asked for pictures so I handed her our album and scrap book with all my travel boarding passes and some souvenirs from those places. She gave me the paper to answer as well.
She read every captions on the pictures and is laughing that she found out our nicknames which she thinks is cute. She also looked at every page of the scrapbook and another good thing about that was the cards, invitations and letters are address to both our names. Funny thing is the question about what was our dinner last night. So I wrote down that my booboo had dinner during his company meeting here in DC and I had adobo. She read both of our answers and said that women do write longer than men. We are glad that our answers are matched. She is very nice and she took my i-94 and my EAD card and handed me the approval and renewal letter. Before we bid goodbye she has a special word for us, Bye Booboo!!!
Now wait until 3 weeks to get the green card on the mail which I know that it's actually color white not green.
