At the discretion of the officer, he will either separate or have you in the room together.

My wife, the USC, was interviewed first, while I was in waiting room. Then she came out, and I was interviewed. Then both of us were brought together.

A year ago, I hired immigration attorney to handle my I-130/I-485 petition based on marriage to US citizen. I'm the nonimmigrant. INterview was in November. My spouse and I did not get along in marriage and were not prepared for the interview. My case was denied in Feb, because we failed to prove that the marriage was bona fide. I want to file MTR (motion to reopen), but first, should I tell the attorney that we are separated? What should I do? My wife has agreed to petition the MTR, but that's it.

DON'T MARRY.

Since the relationship is not bona fide now, what makes you think the marriage will be bona fide? That's the test to get her the LPR.

Take care.

another thing to study is your spouse's G-328 and vice versa. it's very helpful.

hello friends,

i have not heard anything after my aos interview. the only document that i received was that my case will be

reviewed and a decision will be mailed within 180 days. realistically, how long should i wait to infopass?

visa overstay is determined by immigration judge. since there is no likelihood that you will receive "removal proceedings", depending on the bona fide nature of your marriage, you do not have to worry about facing the judge.

Peace.

Questions asked at interview:

what date was the marriage proposal? Where does beneficiary work? What was the address of beneficiary's parents? Where does beneficiary work? What is the work address of beneficiary? I answered as truthfully as I could. When I didn't know the answer, I told the truth, that I didn't know.

Why would you not know your own parents address, or your own work address? I am confused, maybe you were too and that is why the interview was not successful. You do realise that you are the beneficiary, right?

As for the general "tone" of your post, you really didn't have to admit that you "drifted". I don't know many married people, even those not particularly happily married, that refer to their spouses as "petitioner"s.

I take it by drifted, you meant that you no longer reside together? If you don't, it's pretty apparent.

To clarify:

I, as the beneficiary, knew my parents address, where I worked. My wife, the petitioner, did not know.

Hey olux2008,

What do you mean "we drifted"? Did you guys file a divorce and then withdrew it?

I meant that we don't get along anymore.

Please read my previous post on my experience:

USCIS will consider your I-485 petition "abandoned" when you don't attend the appointment. USCIS will send a notice of denial of I-485 to your address.

Unfortunately, I-485 denials can't be appealed. if a denial, a qualified immigration atty must be hired to file a MTR (motion to re-open) the 485.

Here are some tips based on my recent AOS interview:

1) both of you must know where the evidence is located in your folder in order to retrieve it for the officer, in case you have a separate interview. both of you must know where the 864, tax transcripts, joint bank statements are and be ready to retrieve it for the officer.

2) study the beneficiary's G-325 and study petitioner's G-325. the officer will question the petitioner about the beneficiary and vice versa. be prepared to answer questions about the beneficiary. the officer wants to know if the petitioner knows everything about the beneficiary.

3) be consistent with your answers, be short, and don't go into a long complicated story, because the officer will dissect the information and try to trick the other person about retelling the story, and if the other person tells a different story, it will be problem. just give short answers.

4) the officer is always suspicious about your marriage and the interview's objective is to not make him suspicious. if he sees that your answers match, he will be convinced that your marriage is bona fide.

5) he will take the beneficiary's I-94, so make extra copy of I-94.

6) he will have both of you make an oath to tell the truth.

7) bring a letter of employment for both petitioner and beneficiary. paystubs for both petitioner and beneficiary, as proof of both parties employment.

So you married your spouse but you do not have enough financial support? I am confused. Your spouse answered differently?

The document evidence was all there and complete. The main problem was the inconsistencies in our answers. I'm guessing that the officer was irritated by that, which was why he didn't give an answer.

I am F-1 and We applied for AOS in July. On Nov 25, we had our AOS interview.

We were interviewed separately. My petitioner was interviewed first. Then me. THe Adjudicating officer also asked both of us to swear an oath. We also signed an attorney waiver. The officer compared our answers and said that there were discrepancies in our answers. He confronted my petitioner with the discrepancies. He didn't confront me. He took my I-94 and printed out a letter that said my case will be reviewed and a decision will be made in 180 days. The officer was irritated and not too happy. Now I don't have my I-94.

Questions asked at interview:

what date was the marriage proposal? Where does beneficiary work? What was the address of beneficiary's parents? Where does beneficiary work? What is the work address of beneficiary? I answered as truthfully as I could. When I didn't know the answer, I told the truth, that I didn't know.

I married my USC spouse last year after 6 months of dating. At that time, we really loved each other. My f-1 visa will not expire until next year. Unfortunately, after we petitioned, the marriage became rocky. I was working a job that didn't pay enough to support us both, and had problems paying the bill. My wife had to pick up the slack. We had major disagreements. We drifted.

I know the results will be a denial of my AOS and as I understand it, removal proceedings will begin. I have questions:

Should I go back to my country before removal proceedings begin?

How can I go back without my I-94?

Will I face the 10 year ban if I go now?

Thanks and have a nice day.
