Receiving a Green Card without an Interview

[LuvMyDane 0]

I don't know why we got so lucky but we are overjoyed that we received "We welcome you to permanent resident status in the United States".

We have been waíting since March of this year to receive a notice for my husband's interview. We didn't have to interview and we are still in shock

It said his green card will be here in 3 weeks. What a long journey but I am thankful it's coming to an end. No longer do we have to hold our breath. Today we can exhale.

Good luck to everyone and here's wishing everyone the best

Haven't been on the board in a long time....in between AOS and lifting of conditions, so no need. However, a friend of my wife recently got news of getting her green card without having an AOS interview (she came to the U.S. on a K-1 and got married just before the expiration). I came back to the forum to see if this happened to anyone else and sure enough it did.

First of all, congratulations to this poster. This e-mail is not intended to rain on your parade.

However, I also have to say that I'm a little bit miffed that this type of thing happens and I wonder why it does....seems kind of risky on the part of the U.S. government. I marred my wife in her country and then went through the K-3 process. After she arrived here, we filed AOS and then had the interview. On the other hand, my wife's friend came here on a K-1 and then married at the last minute. She eventually filed AOS and then gets told that she get a green card without an interview. Comparing the two cases (and given what I know), I would think the risk of giving an "automatic" (i.e., no interview) green card to a K-1 immigrant involves more risk than giving an automatic green card to a K-3 immigrant. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong or maybe I'm just biased given that I know our situation and I have a pretty good idea of my wife's friend's situation......and if either of the two of these cases really necessitated an AOS interview, it is my wife's friend and her husband and not us.

So, I guess I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why the U.S. government would NOT require an AOS interview for all K-1 immigrants.....seems prudent to me. Are these "not interview" green cards only going to K-1 immigrants? Or to K-3 immigrants also?

I'm just very curious, because I can't quite understanding the governments thinking on this.

in my own understanding, because the US Government thinks that it is still safe to marry in US than being fooled by some applicants that marriage they have were fake =( thats why k3s often have cases of AOS interviews for more evidences

For the most part, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the issuance of a green card sans interview. I've seen interviews required from Canada (low fraud country) and no interviews from Vietnam (high fraud country).

The ones that really make me scratch my head in confusion is the couples that marry in the US after an overstay of a visitor visa and then adjust status. I know of one couple personally that did this and she received a green card without an interview in less time than we did going through the K-1 route.

Exactly! I too know someone who overstayed her visa and married to a us citizen just to apply for greencard, got approved without interview! Unfortunately, his husband couldnt sponsor all her family members (who are all overstaying the visa) for AOS. Another sibling will marry US citizen soon for AOS purpose, its unfair for those who are going thru legal and proper way. These people must be banned for 10 years.
