I-751 - Received the Letter for an Interview in NYC

[ayra 2]

Dear Friends,

As I have explained in this link http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/442848-urgent-help-needed-for-wifes-complicated-i-751-case/#entry6387885 , my wife is currently dealing to remove conditions on her GC. She sent her initial application back on July 2012 and since then we have been waiting for her to be approved.

Back on April 2013 (9 months after our application mailed), we received the RFE letter. We prepared a very detailed package including :

a) Married joint taxes from 2009-2010-2011 and 2012

b) Our rental apartment leases in Eurupe under both of our names from 2011-2012 and 2013

c) Health insurance cards copies of me and my wife

d) Retirement plan document showing my wife as a beneficiary

e) 401K plan from my company showing my wife as a beneficiary

f) Utility bill copies, showing both of our names

g) Pictures from different events

h) Affidavits from friends and family

i) Bank of America mutual credit card statements for one year

j) One joint savings, one joint debit account books

k) Misc. examples such as letters, postcards

After the RFE, we were really hoping that my wife is going to be approved however, USCIS sent another letter asking to :

- Provide an explanation of why you are residing outside of the USA

- Provide an actual date of when you plan to return to the USA

We hired an immigration attorney in NYC and he wrote a letter explaining why my wife was outside of the USA before the I-751 application. Since April 2013, she is residing in the NYC on a permanet basis and I am pushing hard to be transferred back to the USA with my company. Fyi, currently I am working for an American Chemical company in the Middle East for a promising position and do not really want to leave the company but willing to get a job in the USA.

After our attorney sent the letter with some additional evidence that my wife lives in the NYC ( our lease including both of our names, NYC driver licence, doctor appointment letters, USMLE application that she is studying towards her medical internship in the USA, my job application showing I would like to be transferred back to the USA), we received another letter saying we will have an interview in NYC.

We do not scare about the interview since we have a happy and legal marriage. However, this whole situation is very stressful as you can imagine. I would like to have your opinion regarding :

1) Can I write a letter to Obdusman mailbox explaing our situation and expecting them to support us ? I am thinking maybe if Obdusman can involve , we can skip the interview step.

2) Also , write to my NY senator explaing our situation and expecting the senator to support us.

If these options do not help, I guess going to the interview will be the only option. I appreciate feedback from applicants who went to the NYC field office for interviews. How is the approach, what we need to pay extra attention ?
