what happens during an AOS interview?

[poopie1010 0]

Hello guys!

I would like to ask what usually happens (like the process) during an AOS interview? What are the questions the IO usually ask?

Do they give you a hard time or something?

Do IOs ask about your "intent" when you came here to the US with a B2 visa?

I would really appreciate your help and opinions. Thanks, im just worried because we have no idea what's in store for us.

Also, please share your experiences with your own AOS interview.

You can find all sorts of interview experiences in any of the monthly progress report threads near the end. April and May had lots of filers, I'd start there.

Some people get asked about intent, some don't. Each interview and case is unique so it's hard to say what to expect. If they suspect fraud, they will give you a hard time. If not, it will be easy.

You can also find local office reviews on here somewhere... I can't remember exactly, but it's not hard to find. Good luck!

I'd be interested to hear specific interview experiences for B2 >AOS also!

Check out my timeline. I wrote an in depth review of my experience.

I was not asked about intent but every interview is different.

I read a lot of reviews before the interview. It helps to know what to expect.

Good luck!!

Ive been trying to find reviews of AOS for B2s, but can't seem to find many that don't have a long overstay as well. You review was really good, it made me nervous lol. Nervous like I was in there with you!

Dude,

you have to let go. If you are in a "real" marriage there is nothing you have to prepare for. There is no test, there are no trick questions, just simple stuff about yourself, your wife, and your wedding, that you would know in any case.

Just take a shower in the morning, brush your teeth, and dress like you're going to a job interview. Take your photo album of the wedding with you and the rest is just a formality without any drama.

Only thing to remember: don't tell 'em that you used drugs, were a communist, terrorist, or tried to overthrow some foreign Government.

Lol.

But you know, what if you guys are just starting out and you dont have any utility bills and stuff. Basically, you dont have anything to show them aside from your marriage cert, pictures, and health insurance as a dependent of you partner. Would that suffice?

Are you asking me?

I have no worries about showing that we are a real couple. Even without joint accounts, pictures or anything, even an untrained person could tell we were a couple. Congrats on your upcoming interview, I'm scheduled for my biometrics same say. Super good luck to you!!

Having a common language was THE most important thing for our Consulate Officer. After all, if you don't speak the same language, how the hell can you communicate? That and seeing pics was her focus.

No "Newlywed Game" type questions or even a blink about our 24 year age gap. I guess she could see that my wife is lucky to land a stud like me!
