Has there been any VJ members at the San Diego FO in the past 2 weeks that attended an interview there? K1 or AOS? You did this K1 process in 2014, you can't tell me it's the same government nor the same USCIS in how policy is done. You're implying nothing has changed, when policy changed right before our eyes. Groups of AILA lawyers have gathered and said this is happening at the SD FO, and pop ups happening at other places, are we really dismissing what lawyers have said about this?

Same here. Just found a person from SD FO that did get approved, and the officer did make mention about overstays. "She made it very clear to us that each day after the end date written on the I-94 is considered by law an overstay. Doesn’t matter if you file before expiration" and a later comment "Even if you do it with the K-1 visa, which is meant for this purpose, you end up overstaying cause there’s no way you can go through the wedding and the whole process in less than 3 months. That’s why it’s usually forgiven, as it should. Under this administration tho…" This brings the fact up that this particular FO is going off the chain. https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/s/0g3ShyZYmp

(Deleted the reddit post off the quote, since it takes so much space) They've posted a comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1pjd7ce/uscis_aos_interview_san_diego_ice/ntcntzw/ " She wasn’t “picked up” for an overstay in the way people usually mean it. Her I-94 was still valid when we got married, and we filed the I-130/I-485 while she was in a lawful period of stay. What happened is that the officer at the interview treated it as an overstay situation even though the dates were valid, and ICE acted on that assumption. We’re now addressing it through an attorney because the timeline shows she was still in status when we submitted everything. I can’t get into more details publicly, but that’s the core of it." -- And what sense does it make to detain them, when there is no legal premise to deport them? What sense does it make to rip families apart and sending a person TO JAIL when USCIS has the jurisdiction? We shouldn't have sympathy for these non-criminals to suffer the deplorable conditions at ICE facilities? When there's report and proof of physical and sexual abuse, medical neglect? But we'll deny that fact?

Just to continue I found this: " She originally entered the U.S. on a J-1 visa. Before her J-1 status ended, you filed a Change of Status (COS) to B-2. USCIS approved that COS and issued an I-94 showing B-2 status valid She remained in the U.S. the entire time — no departures. Married You filed I-130 + I-485 Once USCIS accepted the filing and issued receipts in early July 2025, she was in pending AOS status. She now has a C09 EAD (10/24/2025–10/23/2030). " It really is just a waste of money to just be detaining people when they're legally allowed to adjust and USCIS has the jurisdiction to. It's also a waste of money diverting other federal officers from their other jobs that is clearly more important than non-criminal AOS interview goers.

It's been reported by several news stations and here that it's the San Diego FO and some other California FOs. The WHY is being reported, it's in the article! The pattern has been there, it's reported on. Lawyers have confirmed the memo across AILA.

Yeah, inspected and paroled still doesn't mean you need to be taken by ICE. Husband is a USC, it's the first paragraph "A Ukrainian woman married to a United States citizen has become one of the latest applicants to be detained by federal agents at their green card interview, despite her husband saying she had always had legal status." https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-2 " INA 245(a) Adjustment of Status Eligibility Requirements The alien must have been: Inspected and admitted into the United States; or Inspected and paroled into the United States." Parole isn't an issue. I've also seen nearly every I130 result in an interview regardless of how long the relationship was/proof you have. (i.e I'm one of them)

Chatter as well with several lawyer groups with AILA saying this was a true document. USCIS interviews could easily be more than 30 min.

https://www.newsweek.com/wife-detained-green-card-interview-ice-san-diego-11176819 This time it's someone with TPS that applied with a I-485 before their status was up, with authorized stay. Someone tell me where's the wrong here. No one can tell me how this doesn't disprove the chatter people were saying about the K1s even those who filed within the 90 days.

Your turn will honestly be whenever the case officer will get to it, some take off the top, some take from the bottom, some take from the middle. There is no order really, just whenever they get to it. And especially now with the 19 countries being blacklisted for things it's getting more workload on USCIS.

I'm talking about the situation here: which is different from what the main post case is. K1 arrived, They married and filed before the 90 days. Doing everything right, i see nothing about working without auth in that post, if you wanna show where it is. i mean sure, but that person has been contributing in that community for a bit....same can be said about any information here. Community is made by people, including this forum where people (who aren't lawyers) give their experiences and information for other to take from.

On their flair they stated that they are, reddit doesn't show flairs on mobile iirc Edit: And their bio on reddit about about paid services

In the comments states a lawyer saying "They also arrested and detained 2 individuals in California (the same week) who entered on K-1 visas. They married and filed before the 90 days. But once the I-94 expires, you are considered an overstay. So they literally did everything the right way, but ICE used a loophole to boost their detention numbers. It’s absolutely batshit insane. I was totally beside myself when I found out about that."

Realize that I'm talking about how the admin isn't releasing proof of this being a drug boat. Which I 100% know has less implications than releasing the countless strikes information done in the past, especially to a closed door session in congress. I'm also talking about how it's wrong and a Geneva Convention violation to double-tap, you know why? Cause the Nazis did it in WW2

Yeah his father was the underwear bomber/ft hood attack orchestrator/and possible ties to 9/11....and all this info was unveiled and opened, national security stuff btw. But we can't seem to get info for the targets of a alleged "drug boat", come on, at least the Obama administration wasn't a temper tantrum group and admitted responsibility, unlike the current admin

The problem is where is the proof of these alleged "drug boats" and why is the US military double tapping/second striking. Abdulrahman was a bystander and not a direct target. Apples and Oranges But nah let's close our ears and not look up.

Don't be concerned, waiting for EAD takes much longer nowadays. You had your biometrics and a receipt notice so you're in there somewhere.

The rhetoric and support for people being thrown into ICE detention centers and being ping ponged across the country is insane. Not to mention the historical human rights abuses ICE detention facilities have, such as forced sterilizations. But I guess that's the "consequences of poor decisions" cause of "They created their own issues", right? Remember when they said they were only going after hardened criminals? Then it was anyone with serious infractions. Then it was just snatch and grab anyone off white. Now, it's people just going through the USCIS process fully stated on the website. If you don't think you're next, good luck. It's not a loophole, it's strictly in the INA the adjustment procedure, blame congress for not changing anything. Not the people, especially when some had no choice but to file.

Great, I have, it's always okay to ask other people that might have some first-hand experience in immigration

"Originally, Katie planned to return to the UK to sort out her green card, but due to her high-risk pregnancy, she decided to stay in the U.S. The couple tied the knot the following month and soon discovered they were expecting their first child together. At first, she planned to return to the U.K., but Katie discovered she was pregnant and chose to remain in the U.S. because of complications with her high-risk pregnancy." Peoples lives change quickly and plans change. AOS from B2 is common, you very well know this. Regardless of that, there is not reason for ICE to detain, unless it's for "look at our numbers" but then of course we know it was never about "doing it right"

What's the next steps for situations like these, honestly? Makes me concerned as well.

Well it says during the appointment so assumingly during the AOS interview itself signing off paperwork, but who knows why USCIS finds it necessary to pass off to ICE for and AOS that is non-issue. The CBS article states what this lawyer, "None of my clients have any arrests or criminal history that are in this situation. These are just cases where they entered legally, they overstayed their visa, all of my cases right now are people that have been married to U.S. citizens, so these are spouses of U.S. citizens that are going through the normal process, the normal channels, and they're being taken into custody,"

Well it's still connected as I'm concerned how it will affect me and my spouse

I mean then you have this too: https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/british-woman-arrested-ice-holding-1524192 Detaining AOS from visitor overstay with no criminal record? Married to a USC and not a fraud marriage why detain if they can get approved? What's the difference now?
