Missing docuents

[lou]

First off, hope all are doing well!

Haven't been on the site for a while, me working days and Guichun working nights

with now a 4 year old, computer time is rare. This is life!

 

To make a long story short, we filed Guichun's N-400 in Jan. Interview set for 4-10-12.

Back in Jan. took our passports, red books and her permanent res. card to work to copy

for the app. took everything back home, Guichun keeps her passport and card separate

because of her travels and she has them right where she keeps them. We can't seem to

find my passport or the marrage books!

 

I don't care about my passport, I'm worried about the marrage books! We have many copies

certified in Chinese and English and I want to know if they will accept them when we go to the

interview.

 

As always,

Thanks again!!

[dnoblett]

Yes, you should be fine with the certified copy.

[lou]

Thank you!

 

I can rest better now. do you think I should call USCIS or just go to the interview?

[dnoblett]

Thank you!

 

I can rest better now. do you think I should call USCIS or just go to the interview?

I would just take them to interview, if from China should be one of those bound white books, and will be acceptable.

 

My wife and I married in the USA, the office gave us an original and 2 certified copies, all were acceptable.

 

A certified copy is considered to be as good as an original document.

[lou]

Well, seems my wife found all of the documents! After 2 weeks of "You lost them!" all I could do

is smile . Then we both had a good laugh.

 

Her interview is tomorrow, Any last minute advice? We have all the paperwork and she knows the

questions inside and out. I'm just not sure what to expect tomorrow, I think I'm more nervous then

she is at this point.

[dnoblett]

That interview is painless, just answer questions honestly, my wife had no issues at all, said the interviewer did not smile, kind of overly serious, "Just The Facts" kind of person.

[lou]

Well she had the inteview on the 10th and passed!

Got there at 9 and we were out by 1 including the oath ceremony, not too bad.

 

It did get interesting though, we waited around 1 hr. before she was called. I think there

were 6 interviewers that day, Guichun commented that when they were calling the next person

in over the PA system, that they all speak very slow and very clear! Except one man who had a

very heavy accent. Not for me mind you, I understood him fine,my wife had no idea what he was saying

everytime he was at the window .

 

 

So, I KNOW what is going to happen, and I just smile. She wants to know why I'm smiling, and I just tell

her to relax. Sure enough, the man with the accent calls her name and she didn't even hear it! When I give

her a nudge to tell her, the jaw drops and the fun starts.

 

She's in there twice as long as everyone else so now I'm getting nervous! Turned out ok, They talked for a

bit, went over the paperwork, she's still too nervous and can't relax!

 

1st civics question, she takes a guess because she couldn't understand him, she got it wrong.

After that, I think my wife had control. Told him to slow down and made him repeat every other

question about 3 times till she could understand, then she got 6 in a row.

 

My wife didn't even know she passed, the interviewer gave her a hard time with her signature

on her passport photos, made her do it 3 times, and also on other documents.

Then gave her a BIG hug and congratulations at the end.

 

Talking about it afterword, she said he was one of the most serious but had the most patience

of anyone she as ever seen
