AOS Interview Waiver - Now Scheduled for Interview

[Electric86 0]

Hi,

Was hoping someone might be able to shed some light. We got a letter stating that we were a potential interview waiver case. However, several months later, we've received a letter stating we will have an interview soon. Why the change, any ideas?

Second question - I am the USC and my spouse is the one applying for AOS - when my spouse first arrived, a job was offered to him and he took it. He worked for a couple months and then we discovered he needed a separate work card (not just a SSN card, as his employer instructed), and he immediately quit. He received his work authorization card a couple months later and worked again. I want to be totally honest at the interview if they ask about date of employment - is this going to be a big deal? Like a denial issue? Anyone have any experience with that? He has since held a job and worked (legally) - and is still doing so.

Need your expertise.

Thanks.

This happens sometimes. There is no actual reason as to why some get an interview. It does not mean anything bad or terrible. In fact, it might be helpful for you to interview and get an approval so you can stop waiting.

No, he won't be denied for the small amount of time he worked illegally. It was good he quit when he realized he should not be working without the EAD. Just be honest about anything they happen to ask you.

Thank you so much KayDeeCee. Do you happen to know the importance of joint bank account docs? We have a joint lease, lots of mail delivered to our house with both names, etc, but no joint bank account.

If you have other evidence of co-mingling finances and co-habitation, then no need to go out get one together just for the AOS interview. They understand the marriage is new and you will not have a lot of evidence yet. Save up evidence the next 2 years though. They will want to see plenty for ROC.
