[OUDAI 0]

hello everybody,

my interview was for green card adjustment statue 

i just do my interview on 07/03/2017 me and my u.s citizen wife , and my two little kids from my previous marriage , when we go inside the interview room we sit and start ask sample general question  

and after 5 minutes he ask to separate interview and he start with my wife also she is pregnant waw , he ask her difficult and pacific detail from our life around 20 question and everything went fine and he ask me to start interview with me and my wife stay out with my kids

and ask me all the question again we match 85% the answer only one question 

what is ur bedroom floor? i said wood and my wife said carpet . that all the huge different on our answers . actually our room have part carpet and part wood . believe me this was very sample question compare the question he ask and we match the answer . uh gad 

he question was vey very deep on house detail and life detail i never read or hear this kind of question .. and after that he said the interview is complete and we unable to take final decision on ur case cause the security name check with FBI is not finish .

so u should wait 4 month before make any inquiry and i make my fingerprint on 04/10/2017 almost 3 month and still not finish the security name check.

what make me shocked i bring big folder have many many of document and photo that will make the interview more easy if he look at it , but he never ask or take anything of the photo or the paper , that strange why he did not ask for it . and why he separate us after 5 mints he was just ask our name ,,,, he did not lough or smile on my kids face our us . he was very  straight and not give me any hope . just said wait for the final decision 120 days .. after finish the check ,,

what u think all of what going to happen , did u all think they going to come around me cause he wrote my work address dud they going to our home ... pleas help

It sounds like what you had was a Stokes interview where they separate the spouses and ask them personal questions about the relationship.  From what I have read, it can be unnerving and very uncomfortable.  Maybe while they were reviewing your package they saw a red flag, and decided to conduct this type of interview. The only thing you can do now is wait for the final decision.

 

Sorry you had to go through the Stokes experience, but it sounds like you and your wife did fairly well.

 

Good Luck and hopefully you will hear something soon.

Relax, it might not be that bad after all, some IO are like that. There might be something about your name or your wife past that might trigger an interview. They might also be paying a visiting to your house and work to proof that your marriage is legit.

All you have to do now is stay calm and wait.

Everything will be alright.

We also had a stokes interview and a home visit and are still waiting, we filed AOS in May 2015. If you have a legit marriage then there is nothing to worry about. Relax and live you life and stop worrying.

Thank you Damara, I posted a thread about the home visit. About patience.....when you wait for many years to even come together
and you are finally together then waiting together is not as bad as waiting being apart.
We can either make ourselves sick over it or be positive and move forward the best we can.
I will not let the system steal my joy. Life is too short.

I agree with the other respondents to this thread.  Just relax as you are still together and things are progressing.  No one ever knows why they chose to conduct a Stokes interview, but it sounds like you did very well aside from the comfort level these interviews provide.  Hopefully all will work out in the end, so please keep us posted and as help to others it is always a good idea to post a review of the interview of you local office, so others coming after you have information.

 

Good Luck!

Very well said.

I have read a lot of posts and stories on VJ. It is your journey that has given me the most hope.

Do you have any red flags you can think of? Who knows what will happen, we went through strokes too and even though we did good (especially my husband, i forgot to mention one of my jobs - he didn't forget, and i forgot one of his scars) they still gave us a NOID that was full of mistakes. We talked to a few lawyers and everyone said that it depends on the officer. So we have actually been waiting for 2 months longer than Ebunoluwa. Sometimes it's crazy like that. I truly wish you the best of luck, hopefully you won't be waiting for years like us and will get your approval soon - that's what happens most of the time anyway : ) Also, where was your interview and what visa did you arrive on (the purpose of this question is your i-130 approved)?

I had a stoke interview too and 2 home visits. It was very frustrating especially when my marriage is 100% legit. I got my approval 3 months after my stoke interview. It took 10 months in total.. One normal interview, One stoke interview, 2 home visits, 2 congress inquires and endless sleepless nights. As long as the marriage is legit, it will be approved no matter how long it takes. I'm in the process of the i751 and still waiting for 7 months already. We will all be fine as long as we are legitimate.

Oh dear God, they visited you twice  Did you ask why? What did they say?
May be they thought you were expecting them to arrive and prepared, and then after the first visit you'd relax and move all the stuff of the second person away, assuming one of you doesn't actually live there.... it is frustrating, i don't understand how they can possibly have any doubts about our marriage either. (but, in our case, i think they are just making mistakes and not paying attention - considering the text of our noid.)
You are right, it will be alright, just when... I read a story of the couple who took 5 years to get a GC! And when my husband went to info pass, long time ago, one of the people from those windows told him that sometimes it takes years, and we thought it's ridiculous but it sure doesn't seem that absurd anymore. (Speaking of i751, one of my friends just got approved and it took a year...)

Well, both myself and my wife were not home the both times they visited.  We were at work the first time they came and for the 2nd time, We both took our new baby boy to the Dr's office but they met my two step kids on the 2nd visit, showed them a picture of me, asked them if they knew who that was and asked them other questions which they answered. They looked thru my matrimonial bedroom, bathroom and closets.They clearly saw that I co-inhabit with my wife and that We both have a new baby as baby things were littered all over the place. I clearly think that the arrival of my son greatly helped to show them that we are true couple. Btw, what service center did your friend file for the i751? Did she/he get an rfe? I have learnt to wait for the uscis.. Lol.
