Hi all. I'm a nervous wreck. I was planning to go to my husband's interview with him this month. I just received a new job offer which will start sooner and means I won't be able to attend his interview. I really need encouragement, prayers, and advice. I'm 15 yrs older than him, which they might consider a red flag. I was planning to take additional evidence to the interview, hoping he would get an opportunity to present it. So for those who did not attend their spouse's interview, can you please offer some advice and mostly a word of encouragement, as I'm literally going out of my mind right now! Especially from Jamaica!!!! Thx!

I am so sorry to hear about that 221(g) There should have been a reason given as to why they are sending the case back to USCIS.

Thanx,MrsBurgz. That's what I am confused about. The CO did not tell him anything.

Hello Vjers,
Have a question. I posted this in the NVC thread but did not get any reply.

So I sent a request for expedite and I got an email asking for some info. The only thing in the list they gave that I didn't include was beneficiary country and local phone number . So I added that and resent the request. I got the same email asking for those same things 2 'more times. I don't know if I should keep resending. Has anyone experienced this before ?

Her experience was painless. I had her take copies of both packages I submitted (USCIS I-130 & NVC), wedding album, and all her original required documents. Although they did not ask for anything more than the required documents, it is nice to have extra documents just in case. They asked basic questions nothing complicated.

  • What city/state are you planning to migrate?
  • What does your husband do?
  • Who is in his family?
  • How did you guys meet?
  • How long did you guys see each other?

After these brief questions, the officer said "Congratulations, your visa has been approved". It seems the couples who have a harder time are the ones who had a previous marriage, a significant age gap between the husband/wife, and/or have previously applied for other types of visas around the time of the marriage/engagement. If none of those apply to your relationship, you can expect a similar experience. I wish you the best to you and your wife. I am sure she will do fine. Good Luck!

Could you please share your wife experience? My wife will be having her interview Oct 14th.

Thank You.

I didn't went with my husband and they never asked if I was there. Although every case differs.It's pretty normal for men to date older women in Jamaica. I don't see where that would be considered a "red flag" stop stressing yourself. You did all that you can do at this point. Just send him the additional evidence he need and everything will be fine.

Oh wow. Were there any redflags that you can think of? Could it be something in your husband's pass that they found out that wasn't disclosed prior?
