Hi,

 

I am a May 2017 filer, and I have been waiting for an update on my case.. it has been a while so I asked help from one of our senators. After 5 working days, USCIS replied to them and said that our case was at the local office and will be getting an interview.. they have no schedule yet and they will send out the letter once they have set a date for us.

 

I am very sad and worried as I was hoping to not have to go through this, I'm fine with responding to RFE's and such.

 

Is there anyone who had i-751 interview without even filing for N400 and what questions did they ask you and what did you bring?

 

Thanks, any kind of help would be much appreciated.

What is there to worry about it your marriage is legitimate?  Chances of getting an interview are low considering a lot of people have had their 10 yr visa approved without one, but if you do questions will most likely be about your marriage and things listed on the forms, so just answer truthfully.

i am also worried because we really dont have health insurance, we can't afford it really right now and i don't drive so we dont share any insurance.. the bills we have i tried adding my self but they declined.. we do have years worth of bank statements and pictures and i don't know what else to show...

There is no "sample questions".  If there is an interview they will most likely ask questions about the marriage and anything that seems off so they can verify.

You aren't going to get denied a green card because you don't have health insurance.

I sent in:

 

Tax transcripts 

All bank statements from our joint account

Affidavits from his mom and my sister on law on my side

pictures of us together

tickets of our trips to the philippines

our costco membership

 

 

yeah i guess my evidence was thin, but we really didn't have anything put on the bill together because utility refused to put my name on it, we don't have a credit card never needed one, insurance once mentioned before can't really afford it right now, no kids, and our phone bill well, we use prepaid..

 

I really hope it'll be fine, I just don't want them being hostile. I love my husband and this marriage is real. I don't want to even think there's a chance i'm gonna be sent home because I don't want to be away from him.

Wow, and you're surprised about the interview? It doesn't look like  you prepared for this application. Gather up as much of the official documentation and unofficial correspondence that you can showing that you live at the same address. 

Actually, interview is better than RFE, IMHO.

you really should get health insurance. IMHO that is a red flag considering the current climate about becoming a public charge

Your husband has to add you to the bills, not you. It can be done. I added my husband to our internet, phone, electric, propane, etc.  He can also add you name to the lease or deed (mortgage.). It takes a bit of leg work, but, it can be done and should be done in your case. You can get a state ID that show you reside at the same address as him. And, you can be added to the car insurance even if you don’t drive. Good luck!

You cannot add yourself to the bills. Only the current addressee can do so.

I guess you are right, we don't have joint lease or mortgage I probably have only listed the stuff I sent that I can remember but I have also sent documents showing I live in the same address. It''s much better now because my paycheck are now directly sent to my address and things are only looking up for us very recently financially. Thank you for your advise, I'll gather as much evidence as I can

We once tried going to an xfinity office and we explained what we needed to do but we were turned down..we live in a condo and we had me as his emergency contact (spouse) and lives with  him in the condo.. however it was only done through the site. I took a screenshot of this. was able to do it last night since our condo changed management.

 

We sent in too our state IDs showing our same address.

For the condo, while they'll likely charge a fee, you can be added to the lease. Have your spouse contact the management company and let them know he wants his wife added to the lease. Xfinity doesn't make it easy to add a second person to the bill, but you should be able to do so with the electric company (they may run a credit check on you); let them know you want to be listed on the bills, not just reflected as having joint-responsibility in their system.
