My Interview Experience

Devastation

Registered Users (C)
My officer started the information with the biographical information. She verified whatever that was writtenon the I-589. Then she asked whom and what did i work for back home. I answered it correctly. She verified that again. It was an international organization that i worked for.

She asked many times if i applied for any adjustment or extension for my visa.

Then the officer, like i expected myself, was massively focused on why i didnt apply anytime before this. I told her what my reality was. She didnt seem too satisfied with my answer on this one.

Then she verified if i was persecuted and was there any medical report. When i gave her the date and said yes to the medical report, She verfied the doctor's name on the written. She also verifed the amount of money i paid for the medical service. The medication the doctors prescribed me and the nature of my bodily injury was also verfied.

Then she asked me few question that totally left me surprised. I was nowhere linked to be answering those questions. I simply told her, "mam, i dont know".

She then said that was it. Had me sign at couple of pages and said the interview was over. SHE DID NOT GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SAY THE LAST STATEMENT.

She didnt ask for any original documents and all this ended within about 1 and half hour.

What are your impressions guys?

If she interviewed you for an hour and half, you had your interview. Some times, USCIS may ask you very simple and short questions because the officer is convinced that you are elligible for asylum and satisfied your applicaton, or they don't grill you hard because they want deny your application. In each case, just sit tight and see what they have to say...and be ready for the next move for good or bad...good luck buddy
 
Raziel: I'll have to be there at the DHS office in two weeks to pick up my decision. Yes, i spoke truth and only the truth.

faysal: She just asked me very short questions. And i answered them very shortly. Didnt elaborate or fabricate anything. Other than the date, she didnt ask me any details on my past presecution due to which i fled to the USA. Neither did she ask about the incident happened on 2009 when the rebels were in my home and assaulted my dad.

I am wondering what this could actually mean. Another thing i'm thinking of is- she did not verify my orignal documents. And she did not ask me if i wanted to say anythng at the end.

It seems that the decision was made even before she interviews you. Hope for best while preparing for the worse.
Good luck & thanks for sharing your interview experience with the rest of us.

dear devastation

good luck to you buddy, i really hope you got approved
 
ViaPalermo: Thank you. That's what i've been enchanting - hope for the best while being prepared for the worst. The latter seems to be quite threatening though.

John Smith 1: Thank you so much my friend. I hope i did too. I really have mixed feelings about it. But lets hope for the best for now at least :), hang in there buddy.

Best - Dev

Pray and Hope for the good... you will be Given! :)

I hate to say this but someone quote "fake asylum" in this forum is totally an A** He needs to be eliminated to be a member in this Forum.
This is Immigaration forum where people share story and support each other not HATING each other, I bet you have no life or happiness.
 
Raziel said:
I agree with your conclusion, accusing someone of being a fake asylum is a psychological problem. And I like it how Devastation just totally ignored that comment :)

Dude, check his previous posts. You will understand, that guy has no other way to legalize in this country. Now his applying for asylum. He was trying to legalize with Green Card for extraordinary ability etc. Few weeks ago he was saying that somebody from his family suddenly was persecuted, and he is afraid to coming back. He told IO that he was persecuted personally. He is a fake asylee!!!!!!! Period!

Eliminated? What about free speech? Don't pull your "life and happiness" stuff. And you want me to support that guy who is in this country illegally and didn't pay taxes, now decide legalize himself and make up a story. No way!

We don't know the full story, we are in no position to judge, let that for USCIS
 
Let's USCIS do their job. Totally agree with you. Im not doing somebody's job. Im expressing my point of view. People in this thread saying - Good Luck, hope you got approved and etc. And there is another person who's not agree, and trying to give his opinion. Do you like it or not, I have the right for speech. Based on facts that I have Im making my point of view. If somebody have different opinion than you it doesn't give you right to shut him up. Im citizen of this Free Country. Im serving to this country. And I do care when somebody trying to fu...k my country. I do care about people who actually came to this country and getting asylum based on real facts., not because he or she doesn't wanna go back home. Don't blame me that im giving negative comments and don't blame me that Im racist. Most of my comments on this forum are positive.
We here to give legal advices. Right now, person who's spend few years in this country illegally, who violate the Law of this country few times and has no other option to adjust his status, he's applying for asylum.
Im not doing USCIS job, Im expressing my opinion, like Raziel, Triple Citizen and others. If my opinion is different - Im the enemy, let's shut him up, let's ignore him etc. Am I right? or wrong?
 
You have every right to express your opinion. Even if it does not agree with the others. My only point is, do it in a civil manner and not express it as a personal attack. For example, instead of using the term "Fake Asylee" you could have very politely expressed your opinion that you think Devastation is simply using the asylum route to stay in the US after his other avenues to get a green card failed.
For the record, I have read all 40 odd posts of the OP. I agree, there are a lot of holes in his story and indeed his comments have changed over time. Given his previous attempts to legalise himself, I personally think this is indeed a last ditch effort to stay in the US. Now, having said that, I do not know the entire truth. What COP is he from? How has the COP's political situation changed during the last 4 years? So on and so forth. Thus I will leave it to the good offices of USCIS to make that call.
If he truly deserves asylum, I really wish he gets it. If he is indeed not worthy, it will only be fair that he does not get it.
I hope I made sense.

I was approaching the way you describe above. But Ive been told "sir, you're respectfully ignored." It's sound like he's having fun and tryying to say "shut the f...k up".

Well said Triple Citizen! And I agree 101 percent with Triple citizen. Even though I have respect for Uncle Joe since he is serving in our military..I disagree with him about his statements...
