Hello Friends,

I have received RFE (Request for Evidence) in December 2008 regarding to submit documents for my first marriage (to prove that marriage is bonafide). Requested RFE documents submitted on 01/20/09 to California service center. today I have received letter for standard interview at Newark, NJ.

here is detail information:

Current Status: This case has been sent for a standard interview.

On January 26, 2009, we transferred this case to our NEWARK, NJ location to conduct the interview that is a standard part of processing this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. You will be sent a notice when the interview is scheduled, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case has been sent to our NEWARK, NJ location.

Hello Afia,

yes, I did get my citizenship through my first marriage. my first marriage lasted for 6 years (1999-2005).

I was in USA with immigrant visa in 2003 though.

then it is just my opinion that they want to clear things out that u did not get married first time just to get here, they just gonna ask you few questions one of my friend had this problem after interview they approved her i 130,

my situation is kind a same as urs but in my case i am us citizen and i filed for my ex-husband,he came here in 2006 marriage last for 5 yrs and got divorce last yr then i remarried and now i am filing for my husband i hope they do not make issue about filing i 130 again.

anyway good luck and keep me posted

I remember of a woman whose SO is from Mexico and who filed around the same time as we did for our i-130 and she got the same letter.

She did post an update a few month's back saying she was still waiting for the interview. I am really not sure what happened to her case though. If I can find her name I will let you know and you might contact her. I will do a few searches and let you know.

Check this link , her user id is Positivity. She did get an approval and according to her timeline she is done with NVC.

I don't know much details about her case and her interview, but maybe you can PM her and talk to her about it.

Best of luck

Be prepared to answer any and all questions about your previous marriage through which your citizenship was acquired as well as any and all questions about the validity of your current marriage. A "standard interview" is not a very common occurance. Generally petitions are approved without an interview. USCIS sees potential for a problem with your status, so be prepared for just about anything.

they will scrutinize your current wedding. You might want to take extra proof of a bonafide marriage.
