Okay so if I no longer have a lease to our house what to do? Our lease ended 4 years ago? So we have been month to month? Insurance: I cannot add him to mines until after he has his gc! He was on it from oct 2010-November 2011 when they canceled him off because my job switch insurance companies and the new will not take him until open enrollment which is in August! All bills are in my name! We have 2 bank accounts in our name! Any help will we appericated

So sorry to Mike for how rough it was on you.

Some of what you have said took place is exactly what I have claimed from the start - in fact in one thread I had someone debating that I was wrong but your interview is obviously proof of it. Electronic communications are not evidence of a bonafide marriage, they are just too circumstantial and can be falsified way to easily. I don't believe any IO will be interested in those, young or not,

The bank stuff and insurance stuff that is absolutely what you need. Those are evidences that are backed up by a third party. Same as the pictures - they want them with other people, even if it isn't family because again it involves a third party that can substantiate the reality of your marriage.

And, my goodness, especially if you aren't living together at the time o fthe interview you better be sure your other stuff is in order - that is absolutely a huge red flag!

Also, regardless of anything else you always need to have the dates of your major events memorized.

I think a lot of the other stuff you got heckled about, like your grades, was likely just because you had ticked him off by not having everything together.

Terribly sorry for you but I would not count yourself out yet. Many hard interviews like this one turn into an approval - they may just make you sat it a little. Otherwise they may give you an RFE for some real bonafide evidence, a second interview or even drop by your place of residence. Be prepared and stay positive.

Get your pictures from photobucket and your phone printed. They like pictures.

Since you have few pics, be sure to have other SOLID evidence, like your insurance/bills/bank/lease accounts together. That is major.

Thanks! I will today! I never told that our computer would crash! But it did and now I gotta make the best of it!

lol

lol very dumb on her part

toads

okay so i have my niece in colombia and she has an interview coming up soon for her visa.

problem that i have heard from people is in order for her to travel outside of colombia i need the signature of both parents. my brother in law left when she wasnt even born yet so how in hell are we to get his signature when he wants nothing to do with her.i reached out to him and he said no because he doesnt care and has no interest in her coming to usa.

my question. can she travel with just documentation from her mother. whom has custody of her. her grandparents took her to brazil and agrentina with no problem so i cannot understand why its a problem for me to bring her here for 2 weeks.

si puedo traer mi sobrina sin la firma del padre. el no esta en su vida y no quiere sabe nada de ella. quiero traerla a vistar ee uu este verano por 14 dias no mas.

congrats

My wife thinks I'm over-reacting but the IO was a complete dbag. Undermined all the evidence I presented. Raised a stink about online dating, online communications,or any conversations that were not vis a vis, talked down on me, my wife etc. I was in there for 2 hours! We were not separated either. So I do not know. Maybe if I get in the mood (after an actual decision) I may expound on it. Still seething mad. Here's some quick advice. Make sure any photos you have, have family of either side in them. Pre-marital counseling is good if you're in the Bible belt. Work on affidavits especially from your spouse's closest relatives. If they are clergy or you know any, even better. If you are an inter-racial couple, expect more probing about your commonalities or differences. It will be subtle but glaring. They will not mention race at all. How long you dated before marrying, get all your dates straight (know roughly when all the major events occurred to the month - basically, get your timeline right. Most importantly, if you have lived apart or do not have a common residence at the time of interview, make sure the other bonafides are solid. Get life/health insurance and a bank account (not optional.) Just in case you filed when you were under removal (I wasn't) I can not even imagine what you would go through if you got an IO like mine. The ONLY thing he liked was my I-864 (ironically, the only thing I was RFE'd for.) I just have the feeling this will be a denial. He was very hard on me about not having our own apt (note, I haven't been working for 1 month yet and my wife is unemployed.) He raised a big stink about that. I would also advise anyone NOT to rely strongly on e-chats, emails, web-chats, skype, whatever, anything electronic (signed, endorsed etc) if your IO is an older person. Just put that evidence at the bottom of the pile and don't use it. It will work against you. If you graduated, and then became out of status, do not take the school transcript with you. I do not want any of you guys to go through what I went through. Practice and rehearse responses to these questions. "What attracted him/her to you? What do you have in common?" If you have any weaknesses in your presented evidence, that is what will be focussed on so have good answers and expect to be grilled on them. This #### grilled me for about 10 minutes about bad grades I had during ONE semester over 10 years ago! Gotta go to work. Later.

Gotta run to work.

Omg. Now I'm scared! Why does it matter to them ur grades! Why does it matter you met online and are staying with someone until you get yourselves together! It sounds like an interrogation not an uscis interview! I am just so shocked! I am really sorry this happened to you! I don't understand your io at all! I know I am gonna be put threw hell of our io ask all this stuff! My computer crashed 2 ago! So pictures I no longer have! I just have 1 of the wedding that we had printed! The rest were digital! That's from all the vacations and everything we took! I think I was 3 or 4 pictures on my phone and a few on photobucket! Ugh what to do now! I am soooooooooooooooo worried!

So my AOS package was received on April 16th or 17th.My Biometric appointment was on May 4th.As of now,I still have not received any notices nor has there been an update online.My AOS application is still under "Accepted," and my Employment Authorization is under "Review."Is it normal to not receive any notification at this point? BTW,the I 130 was sent separately on January 23,2012 but my case became concurrent.

i diddnt hear anything for a month and a half. so dont worry. no news is good news.

It seems like you will get EAD soon, my friend. Congrats
