Second Interview for AOS/Green Card

[Jason & Masha 0]

Hello Fellow Visa Journey Members,

I brought my wife to the United States on a K1 fiance visa and we Married in January of 2013. We recently had our AOS interview to get her green card on July 3rd. Today I recieved a letter saying we have to come back for a second interview. I was shocked. I thought the interview went really well. It disgusts me to think that the consulate officer thinks we are liars. The only think I could think that may caused for a second interview was the fact that we had gotten a confidential marriage licence and married in the court house. We did it because we didn't want a traditional wedding, we are both simple people. We provided several photos together with our families, and other supporting documents such as joint savings & checking accounts, engagment ring receipts (I don't think somebody would spend $6,000 on an engagement ring if it wasn't for real), etc. Our second interview is set for August 20th. We both are very upset and we don't know what more they want from us. We provided all the evidience we could think of.

Has anyone had such a similar situation? What should we expect from a second interview?

All input is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

It is perfectly possible to get a non-confidential marriage license and not have a traditional wedding. So your justification for having it doesn't satisfy the suspicion. Why did you get a confidential license? Does your family know you are married?

We got a confidential marriage license because when we came to the court house to get married, we were already supposed to have witnesses and we were not aware of this. So they told us we could get married without having a witness if we choose to get a confidential marriage licenses. We simpily did this out of convience because we are simple people. I already told the consulate officer this, it makes me upset that they didn't believe us.

Yes, all of our family and friends knows that we are married.
