I751 interview done with no decision

[nagisa33 1]

A couple of days ago was my I751 interview and jointly I was supposed to have my n400 interview. When we went there with my husband a guy came out to us and asked to see the letters and my husband passport. And stated that someone is going to be with us (he didn't do this with anyone else). 1 hour later a officer came out and started yelling at us: "aren't you supposed to live separate". We was very surprised from her reaction we went in the office with her she ask me to wait outside after this she did the same with my husband. She asked literally 4 questions about my case and the same my husband on which we answered wrong on one, because on Monday I was working on 2 jobs and my husband told on 1. She told me that she is not able to decide on my case and is declining the n400 interview. We didn't have a lawyer with us, because we wasn't seeing a reason for one. We are married from 5 years and know each other from 9 years. We register our marriage in my country too. Is there anyone with case like this? How long is going to take this time for them to decide?

What country are you from? Do you have a big age gap?

[nagisa33 1]

4 years difference, but I am the older one. I am from Macedonia.

Do you live separately?

[nagisa33 1]

No

[SalishSea 17,837]

So what do you think it could be about your case that they are questioning?

[Liam2021 583]

Since they ask some questions like that, pretty sure they have found something. I think you 're the only person know exactly what go wrong.

That's an odd thing for the IO to start with. Is there anything in your evidence that would make her think you weren't living together?

That does seem like a major detail that an IO would expect you both to get right.

Assuming the IO's "live separate" question was a test, and assuming the IO and her supervisor don't consider the inconsistent answer a big deal, I'd expect a positive decision in under 30 days. Otherwise an RFE or worse. Might not be a bad idea to consider an immigration lawyer.

 

One thing a competent immigration lawyer would have coached you on is the importance of having consistent answers, and where a spouse works is one of things you'd be coached on and told to practice. And also if there was anything in your evidence that suggested living separately a lawyer would have advised you to clean that up too. Of course such advice is on VJ too.

I don't know I was totally confused from this decision. The officer mood was horrible and she was keep cursing on Spanish (I speak the language) before she started the interview she spoke with someone else there and she was fighting with this person. Every time when I answered the question she was making faces. She ask me for my paystubs for 6 months back, but I didn't have them, because there was no request like this in the letter

If she asked for paystubs after the inconsistent answer on your employment, that is why.

The problem with my second job is that my schedule is different every week. There is no away to know it before the initial week. And my husband is not with the greatest memory.

Perhaps your husband or you misunderstood the question. If the question was about your specific schedule and how many jobs you were working on a particular Monday, I agree that most spouses wouldn't be tracking that. If you have a second job, and then perhaps the question was intended to be about your second job. Regardless, a more complete answer from your husband would be: "Nagisa33 has different schedule each week, and I don't remember what job or jobs she was working that day. I do not that she has worked for hours for ABC and DEF in recent weeks"

Do your jobs require you to spend the night away from the home you share with your husband?

As others have pointed out, experiences like this do not stem from legitimate, well-prepared cases.

 

It does not sound like merely a situation of that USCIS officer having a bad day, either.

 

There is something about your case that they are questioning.   Have they ever shown up at your home?

There are plenty of posts about appalling attitudes and treatment by interviewing officers only to be subsequently approved. They aren't renowned for being the most polite

 

 

You usually get a decision within 30 days or so
