Yes that's one actual fact one has to follow, and I am pretty much sure, doing that wouldn't harm you but SAYING NO may trigger something else.

I heartly respect everyone opinions but what's wrong may could be wrong for majority. how would you rate your say in open ppl opinion POLL. I guess majority will disagree. Make a poll yourself, you will soon see the difference in my idiology about this matter.

Go through my posts, these are as so simple to follow and infact not raising any negative doubted issues with IMMi guys come over...

Sir I am not being wiser, but educating ppl to cooperate and cooperate.
You are advising people to surrender their Constitutional rights.
Pardon me, but you are the one claiming that you know A2Z.
Pardon me, but please look through all of my posts here and copy/paste the line that backs your assertion.

I conclude that you are offering actual or quasi-legal advice that could be very perilous if others were to follow it. Lancer remains entirely correct regarding the prudent way to handle the situation, and with a long-term view.

Of course, thats what i am talkin' about. Now a wiser could tell, why one wouldn't allow them to come in If he/she is in dodgy relationship.

They either find something that looks like your relationship is a fraud or that you are doing something in violation of your status.

What i'm saying is that your relationship is 100% bonafide but they may still find something that makes them believe that it is not.....or you've made some sort of violation of your status without realizing it and the evidence is in the home.

You are "pretty much sure"? Multiple attorneys are 100% sure that there is never, ever ANY benefit to you of allowing a consensual search -- anytime, anywhere!

Precisely because YOU are not a mind-reader. YOU may think that YOU are telling and showing them perfectly innocent evidence that will send them away satisfied, but YOU can never have ANY idea of how THEY will perceive what you are showing and saying. Anyone who innocently follows your advice and finds himself in hot water -- that takes years and thousands of dollars to get out of -- has reaped what he has sown.

Furthermore, if you allow them entry and you do something as innocent-seeming as putting your hand into your pocket, they can throw you against the wall, handcuff you, roust your house, and charge you with attempted assault of a Federal agent (or whatever the precise charge).

Lancer's continuing advice remains prudent and accurate.

They are stepping these visits up. They did it do my SO's brother last month, his was on a Saturday, he passed his AOS interview last week. I have heard of many more home visits lately. Looks like if you have a good home visit, the interview will be easy.

Besides the laundry, did they find the bed sheets wet? :innocent:

Well, if that's as competent as they think their own colleagues the interviewers are, let them set an appointment for the home visit.
It seems that if you want to marry someone from a different country you loose all rights to privacy.
You do not lose your Constitutional protections under the Fourth & Fifth Amendments, unless (1) the Supreme Court continues to eviscerate them, (2) the President declares martial law, or especially (3) you voluntarily surrender them. Edited by TBoneTX

:) Ok There are two things now in your last post, 100% bonafide relationship and violation of status.

First Scenerio! K1 visa conditions

you are married within 90 days but didn't apply for AOS. Got married within 90 days and living together with love and happily is one bonafide relationship (that also should be visible by pics, joint acount, lease papers and etc) But you didn't apply for AOS, thats violation of status and IMMI would know it cuz everything is there in their records. Now for instance, if they do come, What would you do? deny them to enter?

Second Scenerio! K1 visa conditions

you got married within 90 days and applied for AOS, Yet they still come to check if you guys are living together and all the evidence they see at your place proving that this couple has estabilished a bonafide relationship, At first step if you are realy maintaining a good relationship? what would you do? deny them to enter.

My question? How would you hide any evidence that proves you are violating the status, as they already have all your ancestry records in the database

Or

what is violation of status in your opinion and how could one mislead Immi guys about it?

What i'm saying is that your relationship is 100% bonafide but they may still find something that makes them believe that it is not.....or you've made some sort of violation of your status without realizing it and the evidence is in the home.

Working for one (without EAD), I've seen many people don't know the rules from what i've seen on this site.

Regarding the relationship, what if the OP's husband had been on a long business trip and didn't have things like a toothbrush or dirty clothes in the house? What if its the middle of the day and a male friend was over etc. Those type of things can cause the situation to go down hill fast.

In theory if you happen to have a pirated film playing on your computer when they entered that could be passed on etc.

What if you have a letter from an EX on the table.

your head would only be down or you are scary in only those condtions if you are on fault, a happy married having 100% bonafide relationship wouldn't do that but will be pleased to give them answers of any questions asked, you are now going way far that's not even exist. Btw its not mind reader philosphy but a simple step to take when you find yourself in such situation. I would bet 97% ppl here would do the same by letting them to enter even YOU my friend :). Like i said earlier its easy said then done. I dont have any idea why you wanna bother your fingers to type those things that you can't even do in real life. I bet you would be calling me the following morning saying hey, they came, checked and gone. But then I would like to hear these statments where was your lawyer that time :). Sir wake up and be practicle...

I am pretty much sure, doing that wouldn't harm you

whatever you said leads to one dodgy relationship like having EX letter on the table, you deserve to get busted by ICE PPL

working without EAD is violation of status and definitly they will get to know it my friend not by sneakin' into your house but may be by someone who loves to report ILLegal activities, they will kick your door out to grab you outside. so dont giv them such looser excuses DO YOU HAVE WARRANT LOL.

if your husband is on business trip, you have plenty of ways to show them that he's realy on

playing Pirated film on computer isn't violation of status and not disturbing your 100% bonafide relationship my friend...

Reinforcing the earlier points that anything that they observe (or that you say) can be used against you.

Regarding being "practicle" (Linkin, can you not spell, either?): This excerpt from a criminal-defense attorney's website was illuminating to me. I have consulted personally with this attorney, and he said that if we substitute "Federal agent" for "police officer," the advice still stands. The boldface was added by me, for emphasis. Linkin, if you consider him incorrect or a liar, or if you think that you know better, contact him directly.

From: http://www.attorneyforfreedom.com/articles...onal-rights.htm

Don't be your Own Worst Enemy!

by Marc J. Victor, Phoenix Criminal Attorney

I cringe to think how many times clients come into my office to discuss their criminal matter with me only to learn they have done possibly irreparable damage to their case. I have found few people who are aware of their constitutional rights.

Your awareness of some simple concepts may serve you well in the event you or a loved one is the unfortunate subject of a criminal investigation. First of all, always remember, you are not required to talk to the police. There may be occasions where your persuasive oral skills will serve to get you a stern warning instead of a costly ticket; however, talking with the police will rarely benefit you when the investigation is for a crime.

In addition, talking to friends and family about your criminal matter is usually not a good idea either. Although you do not expect a friend or family member to compromise your case, you may put him or her in an unfair position. A prosecutor may summon your family member or friend to the witness stand in a criminal trial and ask questions about your statements. Such a dilemma will force your family member or friend to decide between perjury and possibly hurting your case.

Don't get caught up by the fact that the police officer failed to inform you of your "Miranda Rights." These are your rights to remain silent and to have an attorney present during questioning. So long as you are not under "arrest" the police officer may properly ask you questions without informing you of these rights.

You are never required to consent to a search. If a police officer has a search warrant, you must permit the search. However, if a search warrant has not yet been obtained, you should insist the officer obtain one before you voluntarily allow a search. The fact that you insist upon a search warrant does not mean you have something to hide. Rather, it is a confirmation of the constitutional concept that police do not have the right to arbitrarily conduct searches of your property.

A police officer has no right to detain you unless there exists reasonable suspicion that you committed a crime or traffic violation. However, a police officer is always allowed to initiate a voluntary conversation with you. Sometimes it is unclear whether or not a person is detained. If you are in doubt, you should ask the police officer if you are in fact free to leave. [more...] [end of excerpt]

Far too many assumptions. If you can't see our point of view why do you think they will see yours? How do you know they'll even ask for evidence that he's on a business trip.

Regarding the film uh its pirated..its within the scope of customs.... just the other day ICE raided a kid for customizing xboxes.
