majority of the time people filing for I751 ROC divorced will get interviews. so it is wise to be prepared and rack up extra evidence. What did the RFE ask for?

Its always better to rack lots of evidence for an interview if your called for one. Its very difficult to say if a waiver will be called for an interview. I have seen recently many nationals from south america, asia, africa have been called for the waiver interview.

i think they send the same printed page as RFE to everybody asking for joint residence and joint financial responsibilities. i sent these papers b4 with my petition but didn't sent affidavits from citizens n residents. this time i added affidavits to all the previously filed documents n sent these again. has anybody called for an interview in this situation?

From what i've seen. Most l people removing conditions who are divorced get the interview. Ones widowed don't.

751 interviews are mostly for waiver applicants rather than for those who filed jointly.

If the service center director is not satisfied with the evidence, the file is transferred to the local office for an interview. Then its completely in the hands the IO at the local office.

I sent out my I-751 in October of 08, and got an RFE 3 weeks later I iled with a waiver, I was married for exactly 1 year, sent all the necessary evidence and never heard anything again from them, until February 2nd, when I was approved for my 10 year green card, without interview, got my Green card 5 days after the letter of approval, so it took me roughly 3 months from submitting the I 751 to physical greecard.

And by the way I am purely african, was married to a SOB usc, all is good now.

Rfe's depends on how your marraige ended, you have to send everything you sent from your first I 485 application up to when you got divorced,which ends with your divorce decree.

It varies for individuals, and hope that whoever your file lands in His/Her laps will be in a great mood when they handle your file.

You can check up here on the forum, most people who filed on waiver( divorce ) grounds were not called for interviews, it feels good seeing loads of people getting approved without interviews, hope you are nexxt, just pray,pray,pray, i understand how stressful it is,for me, I still cannot believe its all over ,all the sleepless nights.

Goodluck in your case

congrats mamatom.

CSC processes applications at great speed compared to other centers. There have been waivers processed in one month without REF and interviews. Now its all cases by case basis. Just curious mamatom, when you said SOB USC, did you file with evidence that he abused you? I have noticed that many abuse waivers are approved faster than good faith. And especially when there are children involved the case is approved faster.

How you send the papers? Did you include "history" of your statements? Example, Feb, June and last month (before separated/divorce) in both names? credit card, insurance, cable/phone/internet bills, mortgage/leasing payments. Or you just send one month of each, etc etc.

Interesting how statistics are putting in practice here...actually what I have read here (and other forums) most of the interviews are on people who have filed jointly, maybe because we don't hear many waiver cases...or could be same amount. Since I haven't put my numbers on I just can say that BOTH cases can or may get an interview from what I have read since last year that I got divorced. USCIS does waive interviews regardless if you are a waiver or not, what are the basis? I don't know, each adjudicator officer is different as so the cases.

Funny to read something like this: "I have seen recently many nationals from south america, asia, africa have been called for the waiver interview" Aren't many of people for the above regions of the world participate in this forum?...BTW, you forgot to include Central America, North America (Canada and Mexico) and Europe too. To implicate that some adjudications, waivers or rfe can be link to a nationality is just causing unnecessary panic and misinformation.

In any case, waiver cases are approved without an interview as well.

You was only one year married...in any case, be sure to include many evidence like your joint tax return, they love that! Did you add a letter explaining what happened in your marriage?

RFE's are a mistery. Sometimes people forgot basic information, but other ocassions is very frustrated.

Hope you will hear from them soon, and if not, keep your eyes on them and make an INFOPASS.

Good luck!

We submitted a family trust about 1 inch thick at AOS. When the interview was over the IO said to be sure and submit it again for removing conditions as there would be a excellent chance of not having a interview required. We did submit it and no interview.

I almost didn't submit it as I thought EVERTHING was passed on from AOS to removing conditions. I guess the petitions don't marry up unless there's a interview. Don't know tho. '

If they send it all for the citizenship interview there's going to be a huge pile of paper!!

It was over 8" at the AOS interview.

Statistics is paramount to know tendencies. Yes you could have an interview for a joint or for a waiver. It could depend on the IO, it could be the case. It could be any possibility. But is better to be prepared with extra evidence if your called for an interview. Always be prepared for the worse and get ahead of the curve.

yeah funny but I am glad you gave me a geography lesson. I didn't mean to cause panic and instill fear, or even misinform. I just wanted waiver applicants to be aware and ready if they are called for an interview. Its better to be prepared than unprepared. Well, cherr if all the waivers were like yours there would be no need to worry. People would just take an ideal 6-8 months time line for reference and the sit back and relax. Now there are nationalities that have a high degree of visa fraud these applicants are scrutinized more than others. IOs come from all around the world but its the fraud pattern that exposes some nationalities to more checks than others.

In any case, waiver cases are approved without an interview as well.

:yes:I agree

Good advice cheer...joint tax returns and an explanation letter is good evidence.

RFE's are a mistery. Sometimes people forgot basic information, but other ocassions is very frustrated.

RFE's are no mistery :) . It happens when people forget to give relevant documents OR sometimes they are asked for the exact same documents already filed.

Hope you will hear from them soon, and if not, keep your eyes on them and make an INFOPASS.

I would say keep your eyes open for the mail man, and go for frequent and aggressive infopass appointments.

Good luck!

I was not called for an interview when I filed my waiver. And the fact I was late filing it due to my lengthy divorce proceedings, it did not post any problem but it was brought up when I had my Naturalization interview. When I mailed back the RFE, I got the Card Production notice after 2 weeks. So interviews I believe would be case to case basis or merely quality control or perhaps if one's case raises a red flag that they want to check you for an interview. If called for an interview, it's not something to be afraid of. Just be yourself and present your self well. Goodluck!
