  1. Thanks for the inputs. I think my friends can help. I will ask them.
  2. Hi Everyone, I am an USC working in I.T and lost my job a month ago right after my wedding. I am married to an immigrant on f1 visa, not working and her visa is about to expire(in couple weeks). I am currently searching for jobs but it looks like it might take couple months to get one. I am currently receiving unemployment benefits which is above 125% of the poverty line. Can I use my unemployment income to file the her gc and I am sure by the time of her interview I will be having a job and making enough money. My income from that last several years is solid and above the required level. So can I just submit my past w2s and current income as unemployment? Also, if I get a job after couple months can I submit updated i-864? I am just trying to file gc asap because I don't want my wife to lose her status. Please suggest if you have any idea on how to proceed at the moment.

  5. Thanks everyone for all the inputs guys. I spoke to my buddy again and I will answer to the questions some of you asked here, 1. Why is he not here? He is not aware of this forum and he said he follows some FB 751 and n400 groups. I told him to join but in the meanwhile I posted this because I am here anyway. In addition, he is very low. So I thought to help him a little. I provided my personal inputs and wanted to get more from here. 2. Which country he is from ? India 3. Why he has an attorney? Well he his using him from i130 filing and I don't see any specific reason. It's just like how some ppl think attorneys make thing easier. Maybe if you have seen my previous posts here, I asked should I hire attorney for my n400/i751 interview and half of the responses suggested to get one. 4.Thanks for pointing out the name 'stokes interview' , not aware of it. 5. Attorney prepared them for interview and gave them mock questionnaire but I don't think he did a good job. In addition, it's fault of my friend and his wife as well to not prepare well and I get it. 6. Regarding the questions asked, 1. When did you first meet and where ? The wife answered it correctly 2. Draw the layout of the house? She drew it right. They are living in the same house 3. House rent - The wife said something in 1300s and not sure. Husband said it varies because of changes in monthly trash, water bills and its's between 1350-1400. The right answer is 1380 at least for the last month. 4. Bankruptcy - VO asked the amount and my friend said it's around $100k. I am not sure how VO knows this and I think the officer did prepare well before the interview. 5. Other financials - Officer asked things like who spends on grocery to the wife and asked if she gets money for shopping etc from husband as she makes very less compared to him. 6. Wife's work details - officer asked wife's supervisor name, her desk number etc. Not sure why. 7. House details - Officer opened google maps, earth and asked about the house they are living, time to drive to work etc. Then asked the wife to draw the layout. She did answer correctly. They live in a 2 bd and they expected he would ask why 2 bed? but he didn't but that probably gave him red flag! 8. Car details - she gave the VO correct details about the colors of the car but not the year for both cars. 9. Age gap - She is 5 years older to him and he just said to the wife like, oh! you are older than him...okay! They don't have kids and he didn't ask anything about it. 10. They have a joint credit card account and officer went through it. 7. That's good point @Family about him saying that she is gorgeous etc but i don't think my friend is such spontaneous..lol. That's a smart answer. 8. Regarding F-1, yes he was on f-1 and he didn't get h1b and so he did another masters and extended f-1 before the marriage. 9. Attorney response - He says it's common and the couple did good job. But, I don't think it's common too like most of you here. Attorney also said that he will sue uscis if required. Attorney told my friend that the officer is new and he is still in the learning process, it's a common thing to deal with new officers and nothing to be worried about. Attorney alaso said if the VO has more doubts of the couple didn't answer right, uscis won't send them home that soon and they would have asked more questions about sleeping habits, sex, what they did yesterday, more about their personal habits etc and told not to get worried about n400 and they will schedule it soon.
  6. Kansas city, MO. His wife is 5 years older than him and he was on F1 visa before AOS. He is worried after the interview but his attorney says this is very common but he is worried because VO refused to do n400 interview and I think it's a red flag too.
  7. Hahaha. It's for my friend who went to school with me here. He married USC 4 years ago. From what he said, lawyer didn't involve during most of the interview. She only questioned the officer about the duration at the end as he has another interview to attend. In addition, asked the VO why he isn't doing n400 and if he need any additional documentation to which he replied he will let him know after the review.
  8. This post is regarding my friend's interview which happened today. He received interview notice for both i751 and n400. He and his wife went to the interview this morning with an attorney who was with them during the entire interview process. The officer came out and asked the wife to come with him and told my friend to sit right there and hand him his DL. He then interviewed his wife for 90 minutes. Asked her about her job, draw layout of their house, exact dates of their initial meetings, car models and colors, what is the exact rent amount, who buys grocery and how they share house expenses etc. Asked her if she knows her husband's ssn number etc. She answered well about her job, draw layout but didn't give him exact dates and she said she is not sure of car model, rent amount though she gave approximate amount. She said she doesn't know his ssn and the officer was like why not? He asked her to write her manager name, desk number etc in the office. Then he asked my friend why he married someone with low income, rent, car models and more about his financials. He filed a bankruptcy few years ago and he asked few questions regarding it and it lasted for 20 minutes. After that he said he has to review the case. When attorney asked about n400, he said he doesn't want to do that now and he has to review i751. Attorney asked about the timeline and he said he can't tell. Attorney says now it's just waiting game. Is this common to interview the couple separately during combo interviews and refusing to do n400 interview? If not, he wants to prepare for different scenarios and talk to other lawyers as this attorney says there is nothing he can do except waiting. Please let me know if any of you seen something like this before? Also, apologies for posting on behalf of my friend. He is not in the group and I used this group for suggestions through out my i751 and n400 process. So, wanted to post here.
  9. Yes, I filed my N400 in Texas in Dec, 2022. They will schedule your interview soon. Texas N400s are moving faster
  10. Update on my case - went to the interview without an attorney Officer said let's start with i-751 and if we are good we can move to n400. The interview lasted for around 45 minutes. He did look into all the documents, asked multiple questions starting from how I came to the country, meeting and before marriage relationship with my ex, journey with her and her details like where she is born, dob, dates of divorce, marriage etc, reasons for divorce, details about the pics I submitted with ex, details about our trips and details of our interactions after divorce, multiple questions about DV case, education, current job details, taxes etc and then asked civics ,history questions for n400 and told me that I will get the decision is mail. I got my i751 approval on the same day evening and n400 oath scheduled the next day.Currently waiting for the oath ceremony and luckily the immigration journey is over (almost over as oath ceremony is pending).
  11. Hi All, I filed my I-751(SRC) in Jan,2020 and changed it to waiver in Nov, 2021. Interviewed in Jan, 2022 and still waiting for the result. Raised a service request in 2022 and the reply was 'we are processing your case' . Applied for N400 in Dec, 2022 and my interview scheduled for next month. I still have no update on I-751 though, I raised another SR in February but didn't get any reply. I assume it's not a combo interview as my i-751 interview is over last year. Should I inform the officer during the interview regarding my pending i-751 or is there something else I should do to get a decision on my I-751 as I read somewhere N-400 can't be approved with I-751 ? Your inputs are appreciated, thank you.
