Interview I 130 & I 485 Baltimore Office
Ok, here is my experience:
We arrived at 9:40 AM today; our interview was scheduled for 10:00 AM.
A few minutes later, they called my spouse, and we both went in with our attorney.
Questions we were asked:
Where and how did you meet?
How long did you date before getting married?
Do you have children together?
Do you keep in touch with your child from a previous marriage?
How often do you see your in-laws (both sides)?
How do you support your spouse emotionally, financially etc....?
The officer also asked for additional documents, which we submitted, including:
Household income
Estimated value of all assets
Officer's remark:
“I wanted to separate you two but don’t have time for that.”
They went through all the questions from the I-130 and I-485, and we updated a few of our answers as needed.
Final result: Our case is being held for review.
Our attorney gave a strong closing statement, explaining that there is no reason for further review since we've demonstrated a bona fide relationship and clearly live and share our lives together. He also highlighted the beneficiary’s full eligibility for adjustment of status, using some solid legal arguments.
Officer's response:
“Thank you for that, attorney. Now that I have more evidence, wait to hear something by the end of the day. I need to update and further review everything.”
Advice:
Always go with an attorney.
Good luck to everyone preparing for their interview. Bottom line: if your relationship is genuine, you have nothing to fear.
God bless you all!
Case transferred 🙄 18 months
Today I chatted with a live agent through ask emma. and they say there’s no updates… the only thing that happened was that my case was transferred from the Texas service center to the California service center on february 27th, exactly the day we got that email saying they took action on our case but there was noooo updates at all. If i didn’t ask this i wouldn’t know… i just still don’t know if something changes when they do this…
so tired.
