i130 Why would an I130 application be forwarded to a local office when the beneficiary is not in the USA?

Also seen this happen when petitioner had the same birthdate and name and current city as someone who was convicted of a crime (think it was a awa covered crime but not sure) so they had to go and do biometrics to show they weren’t that person. Freaky but it happens.

That makes sense but my name is honestly unique. Pieces are starting to make sense....

Not sure what you mean by this?

I think the OP is beginning to suspect their spouse has not been completely forthright with their previous circumstances.

 

I'm restating that it is still very possible this is a mistake, too. I have heard that USCIS makes those sometimes.

 I figured this was what the OP meant.

 

Perhaps she'll want to share what "pieces" were starting to make sense so forum members could help discern what needed steps (if any) could be taken going forward/possible outcomes.  Perhaps not.

 

Regardless, hopefully OP can come back to update the thread after their appointment.

Definitely will follow up with the intent of the interview. That comment was a thinking aloud moment.  As stated spouse was removed prior, had a tourist vis...also work permit/visa that I knew about but didn't share because to my knowledge no adverse affect occured from it. 

However, I am in the process of getting all of HIS documents to examine them for discrepancies in my 130 and all his "stuff."  I have to keep remembering that common sense isn't so common and mindsets are not shared....

Thank you!

A tourist visa, a work visa, as well as a spouse visa.

 

Perhaps there is an assumption he may be "visa shopping", depending on variables (ie. timeline of each visa/details of any issues with the work one), and might explain why they are already questioning the validity of the marriage at this stage?

"Visa shopping" I can agree with you on this point about those assumptions. FyI..there was considerable time in between those.

Thanks for your input.

Best of luck to you.  I'm sure this can't be easy to cope with all at once.

[R&OC 371]

I know this must be very stressful for you - and I would guess for your husband as well.

 

I had a work visa, a student visa and plenty of ESTA travel for yours before my husband and I decided to apply for the Immigrant visa.

 

However, I am from a low-fraud country but not sure if that makes any difference. No matter what, I wish you all the best and good luck for your interview.

Thank you for your well wishes and most of all empathy.

Hey, are there any updates with yor case.

[s007rrt 7]

Yes there are unfortunate updates. Interviewed and asked questions about him (spouse) mostly. I didn't have "detailed" responses and facing a NOID.

That's really unfortunate. Need to get additional information from your spouse to be able to deal with a NOID
