Upcoming interview I-485 Married to USC
My interview is in less than month.But im happy and worried at the same time.
I don’t have ssn yet
so there is no joint bank account or insurance.etc
We got house and mortgage but under my wife name.
We have a son (2yrs old) and i have cable bill with our names(that’s the only bill with both our names).And a lot of pictures and memories.Affidavits from friends and family.
Is there any tips how to prepare for this interview
i have a lawyer but i want to hear any simular experience.
god bless you and good luck guys

Mel QuirozAug 2, 2021
Hi good morning I went fr interview last week Wednesday I didn't have any thing except a letter from the landlord stating I live at the apartment with my husband. The IO ask fr joint documents and I told her I didn't have a ssn and couldn't provide it. I don't hve any kids with ny husband eaighter and I got approved. Please don't stress you have a son so that's all the prove you need. All the best
Bryson GodblessAug 2, 2021
Meelo Mont it's too late to do a joint account. However your son is your perfect joint account. Put your trust in God and I wish you good luck. My interview is in 2 weeks coming up
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021

Thank you guys
Sawphie BeeAug 2, 2021
The child is more than enough proof. You have a valid case. All the best!!
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021
@Sawphie thank you ,i appreciate it
nika RukavAug 2, 2021
open a joint bank account. it’s important, the officer first asked us about joint account. you don’t need your SSN on chase or Wells Fargo. you don’t need your ssn for car insurance too,
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021
@Nika now is already late
My interview is in 4 weeks
they asking about bank statements in the last 6-12 months
i don’t drive so there was no reason for car insurance 🤷🏼♂️ i hope my baby boy will be my biggest “proof”
thanks for responding
Mel QuirozAug 2, 2021
Meelo my dear let me tell you something do not stress over what you don't have. I didn't have nothing only a letter from my landlord aa a matter of fact i don't even own a car or a job. don't even have any kids and I got approved. Your son is all you need to show them it a bonified marriage
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@meelo mont listen to Mel Quiroz, you have the biggest proof there is, a kid together, just pray about it and you’ll be ok, don’t do anything else right now because it’s too late, it’s going to look suspicious, I’m in similar situation as you, couldn’t do much with no SSN, my interview is at the end of this month, I’m just going to pray and be truthful, I never received EAD so it isn’t much I can do without SSN, hopefully they understand..
Mel QuirozAug 2, 2021
Alecyia they do understand because I applied for a EAD and didn't recieved it so the IO says she understand that there is nothing we can do in our part. She advice us that after we renew the green card then they expect more evidence meaning joint documents
Mel QuirozAug 2, 2021
so good luck and God bless you all on your incomming interview be positive and leave everything in God's hands
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@mel I’ve been married for 3 years now.. idk if I’m qualified for the 10 year or not, but I don’t even care, I’ll take whatever they give me
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
alecyia if your married for more than two years you should get your ten year green card and also your eligible fir citizenship
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@krystal eligible for citizenship without getting a greencard first? my 3 year anniversary is august 24, and my interview is august 31st, I’m really praying they give it to me🙏🏾 this whole thing is stressing me out😭
A LAug 2, 2021
@krystal.
i have been married touching 5 years now to a USC
Im waiting for my interview to be scheduled hopefully soon
based on your comment what do you mean eligible for citizenship?
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
if you have been married to a usc for three years you can apply for and get citizenship. if your married to a permanent resident I think you have to wait five years and other filings you have to wait ten years to get it
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
@alecyia you have to get the green card first. you will get the ten year and then you can apply for citizenship your at the three year requirement
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021
Thank you @Mel and thank you guys for responding.Yeah we been married 2yrs & 7 months,our baby gonna be 3yr soon.
I hope for a 10 yrs green card
but whatever god give me i would be happy.
God bless you all
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
I heard persons been married say I year and 7 months or 1 year and nine months beteeen that time frame get the ten year so you have passed two years you should get your ten year. heck I’m speaking it into being @meelo you will get your ten year
amen 🙏
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021
@krystal thanks
i don’t know do i mention that to Immigration officer that we. been married more than 2 yrs or they know that part lol
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
no need to mention it, they have a copy of your marriage certificate so they know the time period
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@krystal right we’re going to manifest these greencards amen🙏🏾 @meelo you don’t have to mention it, trust me they know lol
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
yes we will!!!! I’ve been married one year and four months so far I know if my interview is scheduled soon I’m getting the 2 year but I pray you guys get the ten year….
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021
Thank you
in Jesus name we pray 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A LAug 2, 2021
okay but first I have to get the GC
and i can apply immediately to citizenship? or wait another3 Years
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@meelo what date is your interview?
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@krystal thank you my friend, this whole process is stressful but we got this🙏🏾
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@A L yes because you’ve passed the 3 year mark, I think..
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
yes you have to get the green card first. i just remembered something else you have to have your green card for one year and seven months I think before you can apply
but I don’t know if it’s the same with the ten year!!!!!
with the two year it makes sense because you have to change that green card
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021
@alecyia september 3rd
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
get advice on when you can actually apply for it but you can after three years .
I hope you guys understand what I’m trying to say
A LAug 2, 2021
Damn
A LAug 2, 2021
just googled it and it can’t be immediately after receiving GC. gotta wait those 3 years
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
I’m not sure if let’s say you get the 2 year green card and that’s conditional why you would have to wait. or with the ten year you passed the mark to prove the marriage is legitimate you can just go ahead and apply. but I would wait a year after getting the ten year then apply for the citizenship…
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
@al after getting the ten year green card you have to wait three years?
A LAug 2, 2021
ok so if you apply for GC immediately after marriage than you will get the 2 year conditional.
to make sure marriage isn’t fake
if you have been married for more than two years and haven’t gotten anything. that you past the “test” part and will get the 10 year one
now those 2 years on the conditional count towards your time in the US. so once you get the 10 year one you would need to wait one more year and you may apply for N400
A LAug 2, 2021
I’m my case I don’t have a GC yet so I have to wait 3 years regardless once I receive it
krystal usaAug 2, 2021
once the marriage is less than two years throughout the whole processing process you will get the two year. if two years pass you will and should get your ten year go.
yes those two years count towards your time in the us.
maria lopez Aug 2, 2021
@meelo I’m before you, I’ll let you know how mine goes
Meelo MontAug 2, 2021

maria lopez Aug 2, 2021

maria lopez Aug 2, 2021

Mel QuirozAug 2, 2021
alecyia they ask how long u need married just got 11 months so she explain to me I get the 2 years because I recently got married. I got my approval notice today so I'm waiting on my green card now
