I think no one knows much about this since havent seen a thread about this thing yet.

Hi...i also filed my AOS on February..had my biometrics done on march 17..and now my case is transferred to California Service Center..they said there is no more interview...is this true? is your case was also transferred to CSC? Since my biometrics, i have not received any letter yet from USCIS..i just check everyday on the website and always say initial processing...

Wow hope ang swerte mo naman! You guys are really lucky not to have an interview.. I really wish I wont have any..

Everyone's experience will be different, but here is what we were asked:

1. Questions in regards to her criminal history; has she ever been arrested or in trouble with the law

2. Where did we meet

3. How long were we together before we decided to get married

In all honesty, our interview was more like talking to an old friend. They guy was very nice and friendly. Try not to stress out. Take the documents that your interview notice asks for and be honest to any question that is asked. As long as your marriage is genuine and loved based, you will do fine.

Thanks!

No, it's not necessary, but it does make things simpler. If you submit a copy of a tax return then it must be complete - every form and supporting document that would be submitted to the IRS. If the IO thinks there's something missing from the tax return documents then they'll refuse to accept the affidavit of support. You've already gotten an RFE for the affidavit of support. If they refuse to accept the next one you send then you may not get another chance - they may just deny the AOS application.

Sending a transcript eliminates the guesswork. You don't need to send any supporting documents. You simply send a copy of every page you receive from the IRS. Transcripts also tend to be accepted by USCIS without question because they prove a tax return was actually filed with the IRS, and they show the numbers that were submitted on all the forms. They take less than two weeks to obtain, and they are free.

Thank you so much.. we're working on the other docs..

I have a question..

Is it necessary to request a transcript from IRS for the tax returns? Because the docs that I and my husband used before were from the HR & Block. He said it's all the same. And he's telling me no need to order or request a transcript of this from IRS for our Affidavit of Support. PLease enlighten me with this.

As you now live together at your mother's house, according to your other thread, I assume you do not have a lease together? You should submit other docs proofing you live together- bills, ideally joint, mail going to the same address, that sort of thing. Another biggie is co-mingling of resources, so showing that his money goes into a joint bank account, you co-own any property, cars etc. Bring documents that you are on his health insurance, that you are his next of kin at work in case of emergency.

As to questions, it depends on how suspicious they are of you.... if you have plenty of documentation, they may not ask any questions, just looks at it and approve you. They may ask a few questions similar to the initial K1 interview (how did you meet, what is his sister's name and birthdate, tell me about your wedding, who was there... that sort of thing.). If they are suspicious, you might get called to a second interview, a Stokes Interview. This is where both of you (usually at the same time) get asked many detailed questions, such as what was the last dinner you ate together, how does he take his coffee, what is her favourite color etc etc. The moves Green Card and the more recent The Proposal will give you an idea

Thanks!

Thanks.. At least I know what possible reactions an IO will give.

Thanks Jim. Thanks to nir too. Somehow I can eat a bit now. But couldn't sleep. Been awake for 30 hours now spending time thinking and reading your comments.

We don't have a cosponsor. His my only sponsor. His income is sufficient.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm just going to look at this the way an immigration officer might. Ok?

You've only been in the US for a few months. You married within the 90 day window, which is good. But now, only a few short months later, you're living with your mom and sister. An immigration officer is likely to think that you got a K1 primarily to reunite with your family, and not to be with your husband. This suspicion will be even stronger if you happen to be from a country with a very long wait for a family preference visa, like Mexico or the Philippines.

Your future life in America with your husband is at stake. You and your husband need to get this situation straightened out. If you are in the same boat when it comes time for the AOS interview then you will probably not be getting a green card.

Guess I need to correct that..

We're both living here with my family. He asked permission if we can stay here for the mean time because we can't afford to have our own yet. He's still the one paying for his mom's apartment since his mom is kinda old as she claims she is and doesnt work. Now since his mom doesnt like me at all, I cannot live with his mom in their house which my husband's is still paying. I don't want my husband to choose between me and his mom. I will jsut wait for the time his mom will like me and his family and until I can work already and help him to get our own place. He visits his mom often but usually he goes home here to me. He drives everyday from here to his work. Driving 1 hour minimum. He has that burden after we got married just because his family don't like me for him.

I am getting nervous about it. So I would like to know what kind of questions will they ask and the most impt docs they'll ask.

Yes I did. The person i've talked to said.. just do what they stated in the letter. Submit it on time given to me. I even said.. we even submitted it twice already and I've had a biometrics already. He said " well, biometrics is just to verify your records." It's not connected with the forms you previously submitted or the evidences we're asking of you now. That is just to check your background if you have some records in FBI or others link to that. YOu still have to submit what we're asking for.

That was the answer to me of that person from NCSC. I am very nervous of an upcoming interview.

It is only my opinion but if you are not living together and cant prove the marriage is valid you will probably be sent back to your country. Now if all the problems are his family as you say then your husband needs t0 grow up and stop being mama's little boy. As difficult as it might be he needs to stand up to her and his family and defend his decision to marry you. I understand that this does not help you but I think if he really loves you then this is what he needs to do. Ask him it he loves you enough to stand up for you and tell his family that he will not change his mind and that they need to stop interfering in your relationship. Where are you living now? Ask him to come live with you. He can still go check on his mom and help her but he belongs with his wife now. I believe that the only way you will survive this ordeal is by protecting your feeling for each other and stick together through it all. I have been in a similar situation in the past and when my family finally realized that i loved this woman so much that they were only hurting me by their disapproval. In a short time they came to accept her and the whole family developed a very caring relationship with her that continued until her death 6 years ago. Your husband is in a very difficult position. He is being forced to choose between the woman he loves and the only family he ever had. A loving family will forgive and forget each other and if they really love him they will want him to be happy. If you make him happy then they need to accept you. If you wish you can show him this message and even have him PM me here if he wants to talk to someone who has had a similar experience years ago. Pray that his mother and family do the right thing and be strong through it all.

Thanks to you! Well, at the moment I live here in my sister and mom's house. I am with my family. And he just goes here to see me. We don't have our own house yet coz we can't afford yet. Since he's also the one paying for the apartment where his mom lives. But once I get a job we talked about it that we'll get our own place but still help his mom. I am in pain to see him like that so I decided to stay with my family for a while since I dont have a job yet to help my husband to get another place for us. His salary isnt enough to sustain another house you know. So I can't live there in the apartment he pays for because his mom is there. So I know it'll only be chaotic if I insist to live there with his mom. He already fought for me and ended up marrying each other and none of their family wanted to attend our wedding. It was actually first a plan of church wedding, but as soon as i heard they won't attend the wedding.. we didn't push through with that instead we became practical enough to just have a civil wedding. I am happy that my family is still very supportive of us.

We're still waiting for our interview letter.

Sorry, can you clarify a bit? The spill about the EAD within 90 days is normal. They've asked for your I-864? Have you had 2 RFEs already? Are you sure that your sponsor makes enough money? What does the text underneath the box say? Does it only say that about the EAD?

No this is the first RFE they've sent us. Yeah they asked for I-864 and the docs they needed for those. We remember we submitted those before twice.. one when he filed a K1- visa for me, and two when I submitted some forms to USCIS after I got married to him. So this is the third time we'll submit these docs and form again. I don't know why.

Okay....so, 1, breathe. 2, wait for the RFE. It doesn't do much good freaking out until you know what the RFE is for - it could be for something completely different. You have 87 days (typically) from the time the RFE was sent to get it in so wait until you get it, see what it says, and then people will be able to address that based on what the RFE actually says.

I also received same thing.. it says there RFE - I-485 and with an x mark - Submit a completed and signed Form I-864 Affidavit of Support. And I guess we did this before twice already. So I don't know why same docs are being asked now. It says here as well. "The Service will process your Form I-765, Application of Employment Authorization (if submitted) within 90 days of the receipt of your missing initial evidence."

And can i ask.. Did you undergo an interview after your biometrics?

They knew it. That's why it is so painful to know that they cannot accept me when I was here already. Maybe they thought our relationship won't last that long. But when they heard I passed everything and we're gonna get married for then that's the time his mom retaliated. She thought he I'll take away his son from her. And he doesn't have work and fully dependent on him. Before she was ok with the idea, but when i got my visa already and prepared for the wedding then she objects. Which gave me a hard time seeing my husband in between of it. They don't like me first reason it's because I am a single parent I already have a kid. Next was she thought if her son will get married already she won't be given home and money anymore. Those stuff. Our relationship was good until his mom got on the way already. That shakes our relationship.

We still love each other and his family is the only reason why we don't live together yet. His the one paying for his moms apartment. So we can't afford yet to get our own since I'm not working yet. Yes his income is sufficient and we passes everything together with the form.

interviews make me sick.. and now im nervous about it.

yes it is more likely than not, that you will have an interview.

check your I-864, is everything correct, that may be why they keep asking for it again. an error maybe of some sort?

I guess. Because we attached everything that they needed. So we're both curious why they sent me this. So we're providing them again the most recent ones again. And if there was a mistake I shouldn't been instructed yet to have my biometrics,right?

I couldnt eat and sleep because of these things...

Tom

I have my interview next week too, there were no updates on my application until last week, when they said my EAD and AP was approved, still waiting on receiving them. Try not too worry, you're probably going to get the GC before the other documents. Oh and we filed in May too, 4th of May, anyways, try not to worry.

All the best for you interview next week and be sure to have as much proof of marriage as you can get. Good Luck!

I hope you can give me tips for this. I am afraid of the interview. Why? BEcause after we got married, we decided i'll live here with my mom and him with his mom for the mean time. Because his family can't accept the fact he loves me so much and they couldnt accept me at all. We're not living together and we're both afraid that it might affect us. Since we don't know much about our habits at home. We seldom see each other these days because of his work. And we're still willing to be married of course. BUt the problem is we can't live together yet because we're still working our way up into his family. And we're also having troubles in our relationship that's why we decided not to live together in one roof. His mother is so dependent on him. Anyway, we're both nervous about interviews. I hope not. But give me tips in case there will be. I had my biometrics last Tuesday. And I dont know what will be the next thing they'll do. Actualy before the biometrics a yellow letter was sent to me and it was a request for initial evidence (I-485).

Please give me pointers on the interview.

I got here March 5,2010 with a fiance visa. We got married but after the marriage we're really having conflicts already. But still my husband is willing to continue what we've started. However, after the marriage we didn't live together in one roof. So now we're having troubles on how we'll get through if ever there will be an interview.

I just had my biometrics last tuesday. But a week before my biometrics USCIS sent me another letter ( a yellow letter ) asking for Request for Initial Evidence (I-485) They're asking again to submit a completed and signed form I-864 Affidavit of Support. which we both remember we submitted these things already twice before. What does this thing means? We're given 87 days for this. And i'm done with my biometrics.

I am so confused what this thing is. My husband is quite getting irritated about this.

And can someone tell me what's next after my biometrics? We're both nervous because I heard there might be an interview at once. And we're nervous because we don't live together because our marriage is on the rocks because of his family. But still my husband wants us to be married but only that we can't live together at the moment coz his mom and family can't accept me yet.

Is there an interview after my biometrics?
