Has anyone been visited by INS at home?
Has anyone who filed a family-based AOS application been visited by the INS at home? I didn't think it happened, but I read about it today in the Daily News, New York, where seven immigration officers went to a couple's residence at 5 am. It's annoying to be woken up like that!!

Yes, it can and does happen. The investigatory report describes them as "unscheduled early-morning interview" -- I kid you not.

LoL, yeah that's funny when you read about it happening to someone else, but if it were to happen to me I'd be far from impressed. Do you think you need to invite them in and offer them some coffee?

I'd love it if they did that. One look at me gathering my husband's pile of dirty socks off the floor and they'd approve us pronto.

I'd already be on my way to work, the 2 hour commute each way is a killer.

LOL! Why would you consider evidence of the depths you will go to deceive the government as evidence that will lead to an approval??

No barking, but with newborn waking me up at 5 am and hubby leaving for work at 5:45, I do occasionally feel like a few growls.
