We are getting ready for my AOS  interview in few weeks. I am married to USC, who was married before. He got his GC because his ex wife was sponsored through an employeer. They’ve been married 10 years. 

When i met him, he was already divorced . Now my lawyer is saying they we might have some issues at the interview and I should definitely have him

present during the interview. Of course it cost money. 

Is there anything we should worry about? Is the  lawyer right?We’ve been married almost 6 years, two kids together.

Nothing you have mentioned suggests any issues.

From what you've said in your OP, shouldn't be any issues.

 

Lawyers like to fear-monger sometimes---that's how they make their fees.  I'm curious if the lawyer also mentioned to you that he would have to sit silently during the interview, he wouldn't be allowed to answer any questions on your behalf, and he wouldn't be allowed to further explain your answers unless directly asked to by the IO.

 

Sounds like he may be out to just collect an extra fee---curious what he planning on charging you for this "service"?  

 

Is this the same lawyer who took like a month to mail out your AOS package and then refused to give you the tracking number when you were wondering if it was ever sent? (I remember your last thread about that)

WOW, I am impressed by your memory.

Yes, the same one.  I finally got the requested info, they mail it just few days late. It was sitting is USCIS for 2 weeks before they issued the receipts.

 

I wasn’t planning to take a lawyer to the interiew since we have pretty easy case.
