I feel the need to share my and my husband’s experience with the USCIS IO during the interview which was conducted last August 26, 2019.
We were called after 20 mins. Our appointment was at 7:00am.The IO was not friendly and warm when he called us in the waiting room. He did not even smile unlike the other IOs who called other couples in the room. That made me a bit nervous.
Before taking our oath our lawyer submitted a document correcting all the errors made by our former lawyer. We took the oath and the IO started verifying the information on my husband’s I-130. There were significant errors and it irritated the IO doing all the corrections on the spot. Our lawyer volunteered to make the corrections and to reschedule our interview (As a backgrounder, our new lawyer was just hired few days before the interview). The IO left the room and was gone for about 5 minutes. He said that his supervisor advised to proceed with the interview.
My turn came and verified the details in my I-485. There was a question that required 2 different answers and I said “noâ€. The other question should have been “yes†and our lawyer immediately made the correction. The IO took note of all the significant errors which we corrected and made me sign on those errors.
Then the IO proceeded with the usual interview validating our marriage- how we met, when we met, when was the marriage proposal took place, our wedding day, our first meeting, our first date, how many dates we have had prior to the wedding day.
After that, he returned my passport and combo card and printed a one-page document specifying something like, “in accordance with the Act INA.... your have been granted a conditional permanent resident...†Please submit Form I-751 within 90 days prior to the expiration of your green card...†It did not sink it to me until I read again the paper we signed.
The interview would have been a walk in the park had we demanded our former lawyer to review all the application forms and saw all the errors. But the “damage†has been done. It was a big and very expensive lesson.
Up until now there is no update in our online Case Tracker, no email nor SMS notification.
