Case has been sent for a standard interview?!

[david.smith 0]

Hi guys, I received an e-mail from USCIS regarding my I-130 petition for my wife; the e-mail says:

Receipt Number: ***********

Application Type: I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Current Status: This case has been sent for a standard interview.

On February 13, 2009, we transferred this case to our NEW YORK, NY location to conduct the interview that is a standard part of processing this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. You will be sent a notice when the interview is scheduled, or if the office needs something from you.

I really don't know why they transferred my case for an interview. Does anybody have an idea? I really appreciate your help.

They have questions about your past. It could be about your citizenship status or other immigration related issues. They may also be questioning the bona fides of your relationship for some reason. Usually people called for a standard interview have some strong clues as to why there may be questions about them or their past. This may be "standard" in name but standard interviews are not the standard operating procedure in family visa petition processing.

So, if there's something you hope they don't find out or ask you about, that's what to be prepared to answer questions and provide evidence about.

Are you originally from here or did you come here on a spousal visa? They do that to make sure that your previous relatinoship was not a fraud.

Thanks for your reply. Nothing really wrong with my past; everything is fine. I received my citizenship through naturalization; I married my wife 2 years ago. She never been to US. I don't really know why they sent my case for an interview!

Thanks for your reply MrsRowe; I came with immigrant visa then became citizen after 5 years. No fraud, everything is okay.

Then be prepared to document and answer detailed questions about anything and everything to do with your own immigration. My point is that you know the subject matter, not that there's anything amiss.

I appreciate your help. Do you suggest making an info pass appointment would help?
