For aos interview

[Pupsichek 0]

Hi, guys!

So I've heard many people saying don't quit jobs and sell houses before coming here and filing for aos.

So I came here on a b2 visa but I didn't think I'll be proposed to. I wanted to apply for a fiancée visa but my hubby insisted we get married here and apply for the gc, that he can't be without me for long and took me to an immigration lawyer who told us all the pros and cons for that.

So before I left here for my vacation I quit my job cos I got my second degree and didn't want to work on that position any longer and there were no chances of making a career. But I still have an apartment there which I'm renting out now and mom is getting the money.

Would quitting my job be a reason for my aos denial cos they think marriage was planned? I have a return ticket which I got reimbursed for since I didn't use it and a letter from my embassy saying they have my birth certificate (they can't be mailed according to a law, only requested thru the embassy). I also have an engagement ring receipt dated several months after I arrived. Would those papers be enough as a proof of the absence of my immigration plans upon arrival?

The officer at the airport asked what I'm gonna do in a city I stated in my i94 and how long I'm planning on staying. I didn't lie...

So what did you say in answer to these two questions? And was any of this written on your I-94 ?

Did you know this man before you came on this tourist visa, and did you disclose this to anyone in the customs arrival process?

It was my understanding that they come down hard on those who they think avoided the time consuming K-1 process (where the two parties are kept apart from each other) by going the easier tourist visa route and get to be together for the process.

But others here seem to think otherwise.

If the tourist visa to AOS route works; then it makes a fool of those who go the K-1 route.

Said I came for vacation to see my friends. No one asked me if friends were male female and how many friends I'm seeing. Was I expected to tell the office my whole life story?

It doesn't make them fool but situations are different....

As long as you didn't lie to the POE Officer you should be fine to AOS. What you should be focused on is gathering everything you can to prove a bona fide marriage, joint bank accounts, credit cards, household bills, insurance, pictures etc. Get your paperwork filed asap so you can start working and travel outside the US if need be.Good luck.

It is always better to say as little as possible to POE Officers, offering too much information will get you in trouble more often than not.

Sounds like you're well on your way.
