DCF: More questions asked at 2nd Interview?

[RachelRamos 0]

My husband has his interview in a few weeks, to give them medical exam info, police

certificate, etc. We already gave them the evidence of support, etc. Will they be

asking him more questions during this second interview? IE, relationship questions,

like they did at our first interview or is that over with?

If I've assumed correctly, the second interview RachelRamos is talking about is the interview to Adjust Status of the permanent resident.

If you are married for under two years at the time you receive your green card, you will be considered a "conditional resident" and will later have to adjust your status after two years.... here's the link to Visa Journey's Guide, I think your questions will be answered there......

"You may or may not be called for an interview after you submit this form. If you submit adequate evidence, however, they do not usually call you for an interview." <--from the VJ Guide.

Good Luck on your interview!

What we are referring to is the interview one has after the intitial interview where the couple appears togethers to file the I-130 petition and get that approved. Once that happens, the beneficicary goes alone for the second interview with their medical exam and police certificate and gets final approval for actual visa. This is the way it apparently done in some countries, but apparently not all. I think its mostly latin american countries that have this procedure.

Forgot to thanks to eveyone, especially TMMA, you have been providing me with good information on things and I appreciate our support.

Sorry for my assuming, glad TMMA had that helpful info for you! I guess I should have thought about asking the OP whre they were filing at before just assuming... GOOD LUCK at all those interviews though!

P.S. - My mistake, I just read OP's post for the third time and then found spouse's other post, and NOW figured out what it was that they were looking for...long day, my bad.

Just a few terminologies to make it easier for everyone...

What you called "the second interview" is not to Adjust Status. It is a visa interview for an Immigrant Visa.

When you are a Permanent Resident with Conditions (due to being newlywed) you must file I-751 shortly before 2 years as a PR *not* to 'adjust status' but to Remove Conditions.

The term "adjust status" has a specific meaning in our context: it is only related to filing I-485 in the US to change from a non-immigrant to a Permanent Resident.

Many "DCF" cases have 2 "interviews".

One when the I-130 is submitted and both people must attend. You might get some relationship questions here, you might not.

Two is when the beneficiary goes for the Immigrant Visa interview. The USC does not have to attend this meeting, but might be allowed to. You can expect to have quesotins related to your relationship, your finances, your (beneficiary) medical, criminal or military history.. basically anything related to the docs you are turning in with packet 3.

If you read interview experiences for DCF cases or for CR-1 cases, they will give you an idea of the number and types of questions asked. This will vary widely depending on your Consulate and (maybe) on the type of evidence you hand in.

RachelRamos: your husband should be prepared to answer questions about your relationship, your plans in the US and other similar questions.
