My GF came to the US on an ESTA Visa. I proposed and we got married a week later. we filed for AOS and for AP on 12/20/13 she went to the bio-metrics appointment.
we were waiting for the advance parole to come through in time for our trip. it was a week before and she tried to apply for emergency AP which was denied. we were aware that leaving the country for our trip would cause her AOS to be abandoned. We came back yesterday 2/14/14, after a long detention by CBP she was let out with an appointment at USCIS in los angeles for 2/26/14. one thing the officer said was to not show up to the interview "empty handed". we're not sure what that means.
i was hoping that someone here might know what our next step should be. I know it was very risky leaving the country during this time and that she could have been denied entry. but by the grace of god she wasn't and now we have 11 days to figure out how to deal with our upcoming USCIS appointment. if anyone has any ideas or experience with this sort of things please let me know
thank for your time
