One or Both for AOS Interview

[rkair 0]

Hi,

When you go in for an AOS interview at the local office after filing a 485, is it required that both the petitioner and beneficiary attend together? Do they interview you jointly or separate? Just curious...Thanks.

Yes

usually together unless they have doubts about the relationship

You go together. You will be interviewed together unless you have a Stokes Interview (which would mean they have serious doubts about your relationship).

But wait... are you asking for yourselves? Your info says you are applying for an IR1/CR1 visa, which would mean you do not do AOS.

Yes, I am submitting the CR1 this week, and they have a tourist visa. I was just curious if they come visit for a few weeks, honestly with no intent to AOS while here, but then for whatever reason we decided otherwise, how that all works out at the interview stage. I'm just trying to educate myself with as many "what if" scenarios as possible, with no intent one way or the other as I learn from everybody here.
