One, you didn't help yourself by lying but I am sure you figured that out already. Best have all your duckies in a row if all is legit.

Good Luck

First rule of immigration club, tell the truth! While the "tip" they got certainly is cause for concern, I don't think that the lie you told (no matter how relevant or irrelevant) is helping your case.

i was really nervous, it just came from nowhere, defensive mechanism, he didn't take my passport, didn't even look at the pics, just took our ids and some documents proving that we live together and have stuff on our name, so it's bad right? i think it was videotaped cause i had this huge black box screwed into the wall on my right side, i don't know guys, what do you think? also i've filed in april and still haven't gotten my work permit, they still didn't give it to me and filed for it in april

Did they remove the I-94 from your passport?

I guess the only thing you can do now is wait until you hear back from them. Good luck!

no they didn't...is it bad if they didn't? wasn't i supposed to get my work permit way before the interview date? anybody?

They usually take it when they approve you.

As for your work permit, when did you apply and when did you get your first notice that they received it? If it's beyond 90 days you can schedule an infopass appointment to inquire about it.

dude austin rocks, what the heck popcorn supposed to mean? i'm on the edge of going down or what?

[rebeccajo 14]

You know what people? This is some of the nastiest, unwarranted speculation about a case I've seen on here for a long time.

This guy was put through what's called a Stokes interview. You might want to keep it in mind rather than sit on your pedestals all high and mighty lecturing him.
