AOS Interview Experience in Chicago

[newinamerica 0]

Just to let you guys know what to expect:

We went in there together with our attorney. First she swore us in and then she asked for

id documents and my EAD.

We gave her our drivers licences, my passport and my EAD. She looked at them and compared the

address on all documents.

Then she asked me when I came to the US. I said in September 2004. She asked if this was my first time and I said no since I was here before as a student.

The she asked if i work, where and what i do. I told her. She asked if i had another job before. I answered.

She then went through a series of questions, like if im a terrorist and so on. I said no to all.

She asked to see our taxes. We showed her our amended tax return. She asked why it was amended and my wife told her that i didnt originally have to file since i did not make enough money last year so she just filed married but separately. We then amended it and thats what we had there together.

She asked to see bona fides of the marriage and we gave her car insurance, health insurance, life insurance, a letter from the bank confirming that we had a joint checking and some pictures of the wedding and a gettogether from a year later.

She then started asking my wife about her kids. We have two kids from her earlier relationship. She asked if she was never married before and when she split up with the father of the kids. She asked if he gets to see

the kids and when. She asked for his name and address. She then asked to see W2's of both of us and compared the addresses on the W2's.

She asked to see the birth certificates of the kids but we did not have them.

Our attorney interrupted her and said that she had to go to another interview soon.

So the officer said, that she will further review the case and that she will not be making a decision right now.

She asked more questions my wife (USC) then actually me during the whole interview.

What do you guys think ?

We really dont know what the deal is. Anybody an idea ?

My hubby (USC) was asked the majority of questions which werent that much anyway. She only asked me where I worked. She asked him his son's birthdate and then she asked about our address which I think she intentionally said the wrong thing just to see if we would correct her which we did. and that was basically all.

Ha!

I noticed that attorneys are not liked there.

I'm so glad we didn't have one!

I can't believe he interrupted and said that he was in a hurry.

I hope that didn't make your officer angry.

Our interview was for about 45 minutes, I guess it just depends on the kind of the person.

I hope you'll not get another interview, if you do don't take your attorney.

Wow...I would have kicked that attorney out of the room and forget about paying him...geez. Hope you're attorney didn't cause the immigration officer to not make the decision on the spot.

It sounds like you provided lots of evidence and information. Just wait and see I guess.

Good luck!

Hi, I (USC) was asked more questions than my husband (beneficary). That is weird how she asked for the birth certificates of the kids. I have two kids from a previous marriage also but my officer didn't ask to see their birth certificates. He asked me LOADS of questions about my ex-husband and our relationship. Good luck! Hope everything works out for you.
