The reason why you've been picked is clear: your wife petitioned another immigrant before you, also by marrying him. Repeat customers get a special treatment, and thus they used the shock tactic to get your wife to "break down." If that didn't work, you should be approved. I would wait for the official result before calling a lawyer.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

That would make a lot of sense in addition to them not knowing the answers to some pretty easy, basic questions during the interview.

But has it been established that the wife actually petitioned for her first husband? The OP only stated that he was in the US already.

hi everybody

first, i want to thank you guys for all the answers you provide me with and i apprecite it...really some of you open my eyes to some things...just i want to add here: i read that ""The examiner generally does not rely on one or two factors alone. Instead, they review all of the facts of the situation together to reach a judgment whether they believe that the couple share a joint life"". this makes me feel a liitle confident ...coz as i mentioned me and my wife we are making home and our marriage is true thanks to teh documents we provided...what do u think guys??

It might be irrelevant what we think but he has been asking for our opinion.

OP, I would agree with that statement. I want to think that an examiner would look at the whole evidence that was provided plus the impression a couple makes at the interview plus what answers they give.

However, those people are human so it is pretty much impossible to make valid assumptions or predictions about based on what they make their decisions.

For now I'd say to prepare for next steps in case you get bad news but don't drive yourself nuts until you get a decision.

Good luck!

I would say decision will take around 14-20 days if you was not approved at the interview. We had an interview for a temporal green card and after sending some documents that an interviewer asked for the final decision was made in 22 days.

hi everybody

After having the interview to remove the conditional residence ,I want to know how long it takes them to answer you back and thus know about the decision?

THANKS

Your situation is slightly different. The IO had some problems with your marriage so I will assume it will take a little longer. Maybe the IO wants to consult with a boss for a final decision. People don't typically get interviewd for I-751 so it won't be easy to give you a timeline but I will go on a limb and say you should hear something in about 90 days at worst because of your situation. Ofcourse it will be better to hear from them sooner. Good luck and keep us updated.

salamo alykom brother, i think you will get the card at the end. Like they told you here, they may just did that with your wife to scear her and see her reaction. I know what happend,happend and there is no need to regret, but the matter of forgetting your mother in law's name was a huge red flag i think, if your wife forgot your mother's name, that can be ok, because moroccan names or lets say arabic names are sometimes hard for americans to pronounce or rememeber. Anyway like i said you dont have to regret, sometimes we have to go through hard time to get a good ending. I dont think getting a lawyer is a good idea now, you have to wait for the result first. allah yskher lik, bro.

Not that my thoughts on what you should have done beforehand are helpful since the interview already occured, but I don't understand why you two didn't go over elemental things like your family's names before the interview. My husband has a terrible memory for names and dates and I made damn sure he could remember important dates before his interview (only for K1...we didn't get intervied for his LPR card nor for ROC). I mean, the dude got his own birthday wrong most of the time (what his mother remembered and told him growing up was different from what was on his BC) much less my own. Finally after 11 years together he remembers my birthday...and had I not drilled it into his head for his interview, he probably still wouldn't know it.

Guys are terrible at remembering names and dates, especially under pressure. I remember at our AOS, the AO asked me for our anniversary date. I sorta guessed at the date, checking with the wife to make sure. AO had a hard time not cracking up, saying, "No, I want you to answer these questions on your own!" :P

Have you not ever met any of her family or parents? Has she never met your family or parents? In honesty, I would question it to. Parents names are on the Petitions, paperwork and is something you just know, remember, and want to know who your in-laws are and out of respect. I know my husbands sisters, brothers, parents, friends names..but of course I have met them all and my husband knows my parents and sister and her husbands name. You have got to be prepared when you go to these interviews. According to some VJ member's testimonies...they are even asking when your wife married her ex husband...where did wife go to 'Middle/secondary school'...Things we usually do not discuss or care to discuss in relationships. ...Good luck.

my in law's names are very hard to spell. i never bother to remembered their formal names but of course i know their go by names. AO asked me their names during interview... i gave their go by names and was fine.
