Today we drove up to Sacramento for the big INS interview. This is the one where we basically have to prove, by a preponderance of documents, that we are an actual married couple and not just some random freaks that got hitched to get somebody a Green Card.
Things went fine. Initially the interviewer was very cold, disappointed that we didn't bring Richard's tax returns and surprised that our attorney hadn't accompanied us (most of the people there had attorneys, actually). But within a few questions it was easy enough to see that we were what we'd been, pretty much from the moment we met: two people who adore and complete one another.
Once his FBI clearance is complete, his Green Card will be issued. Yay!
