Stokes interview is considered “adversarial interview technique,” and it is usually used when a couple is suspected of entering into a sham marriage.  It usually involves getting video taped and extensive notes taking.  The couple would know if they are being “Stokes interview.”

 

Couples are interviewed together or separately depending on the officers and the local offices.  There are no numbers on that.  Some couples are being separated, just because, and there is nothing wrong about it.  Some are being called in together then one is asked to leave in the middle of an interview.  Some are being called in together but one is asked to not say anything while another one is being questioned.  Most people fall into one of these non-Stokes interview scenarios.

 

I would not assume that Stokes interview has anything to do with RFE, and better yet this couple should know better to submit tons of documents for I-751 if they were indeed Stokes interviewed.  I mean, RFE in itself has happened to the most prepared couples — there is no RFE discrimination on any basis LOL.

 

Most common RFE requests are for insufficient proof of joint tenancy, insufficient proof of joint assets/liabilities, and insufficient coverage of timespan of the documents (recent 6 months submitted VS 2.5 years etc.)

Thank you.   I’m sure they have their answer when they receive their letter  sometime this week.

Thank you all for your support and answering all my questions ( the smart and dumb ones ) . I wish you all good luck and I will update the excel sheet .

Hi All,

 

I'm new to the forum but I have been tracking March approvals for the last couple of weeks. I'm a Vermont Filer EAC18118519xx and thanks to the grace of God I was approved today 4/30/2019 around 10am.

 

Case History:

Case was received - March 21, 2018

Fingerprints - May 22, 2018

18 Month extension - Sometime in August

Green Card approved - April 30, 2019

 

Did not get a notification email/text; just kept checking my case on the track app. Case has not been updated on the new website only on old website. Hang in there guys, your time shall come soon too!

 

Just one quick question, what is the estimated process time of naturalization? Debating whether to do it now or waiting the 5 years (might need a long break from immigration).

Hi all!

 

My status changed to "New Card Being Produced" today!!!!!  I'm a Vermont filer and my case was not transferred. I filed March 28, 2018 with a NOA date of March 30, 2018. 

 

And in case this is helpful for anyone else - 

I did not receive an email or text and saw my status change in the app as I was searching through the 100 cases nearest mine. My status did not even change in the saved "my case" section of the app until I deleted it and saved it again (it was stuck on "case status"). Additionally, my status has only been updated on the old website but not the new. We also moved after sending our application in and the change of address is reflected on the old site, but nothing on the new one except "my case was received." 

 

 

Thank you all for being such an incredible and supportive community.

I’m certainly exicted for those who are getting approved finally, but I’m quite frustrated as so many people who filed nearly a month after my wife and I did are being approved as they weren’t transferred from VT to TX.  Why were so many files transferred to essentially be skipped over? I feel like TX hasn’t had any approvals in ages.

I share your frustration. I got a letter that my fingerprint was going to be reused and yet I've seen plenty approved that were after us. There's no logic in how this works. Congrats to the others and patience to Us.

Patience is a virtue. On average it takes approximately 60 days from the transfer date for the new Jurisdiction office to take any action on the case. 

So for all those VT filers who got transferred to TX in March — wait for further notice about your case throughout the month of May.

I totally understand your frustration. There are people who filed two months or more after me at CSC that got approved . I have not had change in status in over 350 days. Hopefully our turn will be soon.
