we have been waiting since May of 15, we were told recently that our case was transferred to philadelphia for interview.

My question is that I don't know what to expect??? We sent it all of the documents that our lawyer said to do. We own two homes together, We are very financially mingled,

I suppose they are supposious about the age difference I'm 67 and she is 37.

we are afraid we will be denied---then what to do??

Your insights are appreciated

I'd suggest not to worry about "what if we get denied" if the marriage is real. Even best prepared packages will get interview (but at slightly lower chance). There are a lot of interview posts on internet and vj- I would go through them and be prepared, but most important of all be confident with the process since it's real!

I would not freak out over an interview or your age difference (I an 54 and Joan is 26). Moderators or others please step in if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that a denial at the ROC phase does not equal deportation--there is an opportunity to go before a judge for the final decision---and the onus of proof is on them to show that the marriage is fraudulent (which it is not). It is a pain in the butt, but try not to lose sleep over it. Good luck and keep your heap up!

Mahalo/Salamat!

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

Mike - prepare well and carry ample evidence to demonstrate that you have legitimate marriage. Certainly a possibility that USCIS is curious about the age difference. Good luck.
