Another question about surprise visit by immigration officers

[Andy and Pui 16]

Having read the other topic about that I have a little different question.

I do not work until afternoon. Before Pui got here I hardly ever answered my door unless I was expecting somebody to come over. Even since she has been here in the morning when we were both sleeping and somebody rang the door bell neither of us wanted to answer the door. What were to happen if USCIS were to come and ring our door bell in the morning when we were both sleeping and we did not answer the door?

i'm sure they would come back at another time. don't sweat about it. its rare that they would make a home visit.

agian, they would just come back at anohther time.

None of these topics have pointed out the fact that USCIS rarely comes to the door- and they would only do so if the first interview failed. Some states, like NY, have outlawed home visits, and instead would send a notice for a second interview. Don't worry about this unless you fail your first interview.

Yep exactly they would not do the house visit in most of the case, also its an added expense and laibility for the USCIS too.

Thats one reason you always see them in pair, which means USCIS has to hire that many ppl.

If you did not answer the door, I am sure they would give you another opportunity to answer the door at some other time.

Never knew home visit were outlawed in NY. My friend know a couple who had a home visit from USCIS here in New York.

Andy,

I wouldn't worry too much about that. from what I read they only visit cases with red flags. You as well as us came under a K-1 and have lived with your wife since her arrival to the US. The AOS experince was smoother than I thought it would be, you'll see.Oh by the way...my orders to Basra got cancelled again. More time with my wife. :dance:

Thanks all. I do not expect a visit at all I just read a different thread and was wondering what would happen if you never answered the door or were not at home.

Juan, that is GREAT news! Congratulations! It is almost a christmans present early, almost.
