Hello all,

I hope your day is going on well. My i360 was approved 3months ago and I just received my interview date yesterday coming up in days. I was asked to bring some documents which I clearly do not understand. Some of which are:

- All documentation establishing my eligibility for lawful permanent resident

- Any immigration related document ever issued to me

- All travel documents used to enter United States including my passport which expired 2years ago. ( can I go with the expired passport or I have to renew before my interview date?????).

Pls fam, your earnest response will be greatly appreciated as my interview date is very close.

 

N.B: if you can also help me with some interview likely questions the officer may ask as well. Thanks all.

 

Wow 3 months from approval to interview is super fast!! Congrats. 
I would take a copy of every application, copy of your I-360 approval, copy of marriage certificate and divorce (if divorced). Take the passport you used to enter the country if you still have it. I don’t know if you need a valid passport, I think you just need valid ID but I could be wrong.

 

The interview is supposed to be just on the I-485 form. Yes or No questions. Most people say it’s pretty calm and peaceful. There are some who say the officer asked about the marriage, abuse but they are not supposed to do that!

Omg you guys what if they ask about the abuse during my i485 interview.  

 

 

I seen this online : "A USCIS memo from 2002 reminds interviewing officers that the Form I-360 has already been approved when the VAWA adjustment applicant has their interview.  This means that it is not the job of the interviewer to ask questions about the abuse the applicant suffered.  USCIS has already decided the applicant qualifies for a visa (if the I-360 is approved before the interview).  Once that happens, the interviewing officer is deciding whether the applicant is eligible for permanent residence.  The officer is not deciding whether the applicant’s I-360 should have been approved.  (However, this USCIS memo does establish a procedure for the revocation of a VAWA approval if new information is learned at the interview which was not provided to USCIS when the I-360 was adjudicated.) " 

 

 

But the link to the memo is not working . 

 

Does anyone have it ?

I think ms sandranj  said something about the appropriate response if they ask about abuse, just can't  remember what it is. 

 

Goodluck to your interview.

 

Kindly share your whole  experience afterwards.

They're not supposed to, and probably won't.

 

Pending an answer from Sandra or someone who remembers what she recommended, consider a morose, polite comment of, "It's very painful, still, and I covered all that in the I-360.  May I answer more green card questions instead, please?"

 

Disregard the above suggestion if Sandra or someone knowledgeable recommends otherwise, but it might suffice.  Again, from what I've read here, the chances are remote that you'll be asked about the abuse.

@Six666, that’s a very long time and many people are getting interviews, I would suggest you reached out to the Ombudsman office, Kristin Gillibrand and even do an inquiry on the USCIS website. 

It's been a long time and very frustrated. I was thinking about ombudsman last week. I will find more info about it and will file soon.

Thanks and if you heard back please update us here.
