AOS interview today
We had our interview today in Jacksonville. The guy who interview us
took us in separately. When I went in I was basically accused of being a
fraud :( The guy who interviewed me couldn't find a reason other than to
become a permanent resident what I got out of coming to the US.
I am a UK citizen and my wife is the US citizen. She made my wife feel
like they were going to deport me there and then. However he told me
that we would get a response in the mail with his decision.
He didn't look at any of the evidence that we took. We had a ton of
emails between ourselves. We had emails from my family and friends. He
complained that we didn't have much in our joint names, like bank
accounts, etc.
He told us that he had been through this himself with his 5th wife who
is Asian.
Just don't know what to think right now or what we can do. How can he
make a decision based on seeing us separately and not seeing how we are
together? Don't know what our next step would be if this guy denies us,
it is really breaking my wife's heart.
Any advice would be appreciated,
Graham

Re: AOS interview today
If you are denied, you may either appeal or file a motion to reopen.
In anycase, if you are a genuine couple, you probably got the right answers
when interviewed separately

Thanks Olivier for the quick reply. What really got me was the guy
saying that I was an "enigma"! What is that suppose to mean!

I'm curious, if he didn't look at any of the evidence that you provided, how did he know you didn't have much in your joint names?
What did you provide as your joint evidence? Joint evidence is usually what they want to see, and want to keep a copy of in your file. If you didn't provide much of that, I can see where they might want to investigate further.
Why would you show emails between yourselves, if you live together? Emails from family and friends are similar to affidavits from family and friends...probably one of the weakest form of evidence.
Hopefully USCIS will have some good news for you soon. Keep us posted!
Best Wishes,
Rene

Re: AOS interview today
Sorry you had to go through this. However, you should note that e-mails is not evidence of a socially and financially comingled life together. It proves nothing.
Perhaps someone reported you as a fraudulent couple as this is not normal behavior for Jacksonville, Florida.

We really haven't had chance to get much joint evidence. I have only
just got a social security number last month and right now my wife is
swamped at work. We did not want to have a joint bank account, don't see
the need for one. My wife didn't have one with her previous husband.
I am on the lease for our home but we didn't get a new copy of it. I am
also on the phone too.
> Why would you show emails between yourselves, if you live together?

These were emails from when we didn't live together and some that we
sent while she was at work.
> Hopefully USCIS will have some good news for you soon. Keep us posted!
Thanks will do. It has just totally stressed my wife out, right now she
is sleeping.

Graham

Re: AOS interview today
The first thing the lawyer told me when I applied for adjustment of status that the documents are very important to prove our marriage is a real marriage .
Do you have doctor bills or dentist family account ? bills in both names . mortgage , rent leases , insurance , travel tickets , ....... ?
any documents have both names will be very helpful

By the way, my wife and I were interviewed separately... it's really not an intimidation tactic... it's just the way some offices do it! That said... immigration isn't for the feint of heart.

It seems like a lot of people are giving you a hard time in here, which seems a little heartless, as I'm sure we can all apreciate how stressfull this whole process can be.
It would seem that it would of been wise to of taken some of the evidence, such as phone bills, lease agreements etc.
Whatever happens buddy, the bets of luck to you. Countless numbers of people on here are going through the same process, so know that at least some of us are somewhat sympathetic for mistakes made.
