interview or not?

[albertoalvarez]

I am from NYC. about my pending I-485
application at NYC local office. I married to my US
citizen wife on July 2002 and submitted my
application arround August 2002. Despite I am in
very good mood with my wife, her family tries to make
her take advantage of me. I d like to ask if its
possible to have an I-485 approved without being
present in interview. If so what is the chance? We
have 2 joint bank accounts, credit cards, utility
bills on our names and joint tax return for 2002. (and
will have for 2003) We haven't received any NTA s yet
but according to the processing time calendar we must
receive in very near feature.
If you could give me an idea about this, I would be
glad.
Sincerely

There is NO way that I-485 based on marriage can be approved without interview and both spouse must present at that time. If both of you do not attend the interview, your case consider abandon.

If only one person attend, it still cannot be approved and it will delay your case depends on what your reason. If you told them that you wife doesn't want to attend, you will be in big trouble. Please be kind to your wife and ask her to be with you on the interview. Otherwise, your life will be difficult.

I'm not a lawyer, pls act accordingly.
