Call-In-Letter
I received a Form G-56 asking me to come in on 18 Nov 2021. it stated that the reason for the appointment is: review of form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. it instructed me to bring my spouse and all evidence that support that I'm in a shared-life with the beneficiary (my spouse). We initially filed in July 2019, had our interview October 2020, and RFE in July requesting letters from friends & family that had knowledge of our marriage and 3 months bank statements. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

that’s sound like stoke interview….You need to start preparing yourself.
Rocco FortéNov 6, 2021
Get ready for a Stokes interview. Take a lawyer with you
Rocco FortéNov 6, 2021
Also go online and fine stokes internet questions. Use those to make sure you and your spouse are on the same page with your intimate lives
Kiki luisNov 6, 2021
that’s a stroke interview, your best bet if you don’t have a lawyer hire one immediately
MJ Adel.Nov 6, 2021
thanks for the advise, but we will go without a lawyer.
Kiki luisNov 6, 2021
I said the same thing but when I went to mine first time without a lawyer OMG was horrible and they asked me to come a second time that’s when I hire a lawyer , and they asked me same questions and my lawyer told the officer u can’t him that’s question it’s inappropriate and I got approved on spot
BAYANO PARKERNov 6, 2021
@kiki luis... just tell her what types of questions were inappropriate that the IO mentioned and which was raised by your lawyer. That will help her too if she doesn't want to hire a lawyer.
O JNov 6, 2021
I know you said you want a lawyer but the best thing to do now is prepare hard for a stoke interview and get a lawyer you will need one so that the officer wouldn’t cross the line
Cyndi MNov 7, 2021
So you did two interviews in 2020?
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
only 1 interview, 13 Oct 2020. I don't know what the 29 Oct date is for
Am LeeNov 7, 2021
oh no! I just looked it up what a stoke interview was about. it is also called a marriage fraud interview so it means they are doubting your marriage. I think if you are scheduled to an interview, hiring an attorney is not a bad idea. they will think you are serious and legit enough to pay for it.
I am wondering if your evidence files werent enough for them... I am sorry that they give you such a hard time but I hope everything works out soon! good luck!
Cyndi MNov 7, 2021
Someone I know get RFE( 60 days to respond with evidence of bonafide marriage) then NOID (30 days to convince them more). I guess the first set of evidence wasn't enough. No decision yet though
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
I think what prompted this interview was me writing a letter stating our case had not been updated since our interview no update on them receiving the RFE info, although we received confirmation from post office.
Cyndi MNov 7, 2021
Wrote them? You mailed in a letter, or through Emma?
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
I sent it certified mail the next day after receiving the RFE.
Cyndi MNov 7, 2021
Nice. I'd be scared tho 😩
Rocco FortéNov 7, 2021
Ok MJ go without a lawyer. Your case, your choice 😄
Kiki luisNov 7, 2021
I gave her advice to go with lawyer , but she said she’ll go without a lawyer , a stoke interview is really complicated , it’s like a fraud marriage interview, they probably investigate on her case talked to her or his neighbors about their marriage. I went through this thing my self , it’s stressful, my advice again for her is to hire a lawyer?
J TNov 7, 2021
@ MJ…get urself together..fear less and stay strong.Good news is urs
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
Thanks for all the positive comments but our marriage is strong so I don't find a need for an attorney. I will stay strong, positve and trust in the Lord. We have nothing to hide.
kings wifeyNov 7, 2021
@mj your first interview which documents did you take along please? all the best
Cyndi MNov 7, 2021
Good question. And what did you send back in the RFE
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
@james tee. Thank you
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
@ cyndi m. I sent everything requested: Letters from friends & family members attesting to our marriage, 3 months bank statements.
MJ Adel.Nov 7, 2021
@kings wife. At the interview we took bank statements, car insurance, life insurance, utility bills, photos of us on trips and with friends and family, marriage photos & license. The officer only wanted 10 pictures but we had over 50.
kings wifeyNov 7, 2021
@mj you will be fine. you will receive your 10 years green card soon
Nina MRNov 7, 2021
they don't believe your marriage is bonafide
Josh bigoshNov 7, 2021
MJ Adel. Don't worry about, just prepare yourself with all documents that you can. Try to address with your spouse the same answer. Everything is gonna be OK. The officer might trick with some questions just pay attention and answer in a good behavior. Hope you have a smooth interview. Bring that GC girl, you rock!!!
Nina MRNov 7, 2021
