I have Interview, but husband is on TDY because of his job with the airforce!

[mrsprissy 0]

Hi everyone. My whole journey has been a nightmare and now this!! So we had our interview already to meet an immigration officer to get our case for I 485 approved. This was back in July. We drove from Rosamond to Fresno. Took us about 4hrs and our Appt was booked for 7am so we left at like 3 am!! Got there stood in line. Only to find out that after waiting and waiting our immigration officer came out and had this sorry look on his face He told us that he is soo sorry but they don't have our paperwork!!! OH MY GOD They had requested it from Los Angeles Office a couple months before and then again couple weeks before our interview. But it was still sitting at Los Angeles office while we were sitting in Fresno. UNBELIEVABLE! But I just didn't even bother with arguing or anything I just wanted to cry. Me and my husband were so mad. Could you guys imagin.

So I got another interview and now my husband has been sent away to Texas for Training. I have his orders But before I make that treacherous drive. I was hoping I could get some advice onto wether i should go by myself or not???? Has anyone been to an interview without their husband and gotten approved? I've heard that there are some suceesful cases but I wanted to see what my chances were like?

Can anyone shed some light on this matter ? I wouls much appreciate it.

Thankyou to all visa journey members

Sorry to hear about what happened. I'm scared now too, because my interview in next Friday, also in Fresno. I'm hoping they won't do the same to me.

As for your question, I believe that the AOS appointent letter says that if your eligibility is based on your marriage, your spouse MUST be present. They also say that if you can't make it for any reason you should call and reschedule. Maybe you should contac the USCIS 1 800 375-5283 and talk to hem about this

Hope this helps!

I am pretty sure I read a post from another VJ member where she went to her AOS interview without her husband as he has some Military Orders and couldn't make it ...

There was another VJ member a while ago named Stefanie who went to the AOS interview without her husband. She was approved without problems. Just bring all the proof with you and his orders to show that there is no physical way he could attend the interview. Shouldn't be a problem if they have a problem with it they will be sure to guide you in the next steps...they seem to be pretty easy going especially with military personnel

Just take your husbands orders and all your other evidence and I am sure you will be fine.... there has been other wives of military prsonnel who have had to go alone because of deployment and training and have been approved...

Good Luck

I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. MY hubby was posted to Germany a month after we married, then a month after we got to Germany, he was sent to Iraq for a year. Before we left the states we lodged the AOS etc. I was called up for interview whilst he was gone. I took all the evidence they requested, plus a copy of his orders stating where he was. I also got a letter from his command confirming the orders, on Military Letterhead. This letter simply confirmed he was deployed, and also stated I was a sponsored family member of a Miltary member. Thats all I needed. Turned up at the interview with this. I didnt even make it to an interview room. I was simply at a desk at the back of the waiting area, the desk usually made for quick enquiries. 5 minutes later, I was approved, passport stamped, and on my way......This was in Los Angeles.

Good luck, You'll be fine!!

So Thnks everyone for your support. So here's what happened... I had my interview to day to. My husband is TDY right now in Texas but I bought a copy of his special orders from the military and they were going to APPROVE everything today!!!! But to my HUUUGE DISSAPPOINTMENT!! This Doctor that I decided to see when I did my I 693. A civilian Doctor did not tick of a box SO they couldn't complete it today and approve my package!! AAARCGH! But its ok she felt bad for me because I had been through so much with this whole AOS thing that she said she'll hold my package in her office for a week and that I don't need to drive back. I can mail the paper in to her. Thank god.
