Dude,

Whatever USCIS does, nothing is normal about their practices, we all have to abide by whatever they asks us to do as long as it is legal. You will need to bring your wife to the 2nd interview, ensure that she can explain why both you kids don't live together, she's in school and so forth. I wouldn't panic because there is no need to worry about anything, especially if you two are still married and you haven't committed any criminal act, which reading your post none exist.

The worst that can happen is denial, but do show up and be calm and confident, plus with your wife in the bag...:D I have a feeling that you have asked this question before, but couldn't be sure as there are many people on this forums posting similar situations...:confused:
 
yes i ask a similar question... they do not request my wifes presence.... i am not sure if she can go due to school... and work...
thank you for ur fast answer

Dude,

whether they ask her or not, bring her to the interview to innoculate yourself from an IO who might ask for her irrespective of whether the letter asks for her or not. You will have problems if USCIS suspect that you and wife are seperated, which is not the case here, but remember USCIS people can err in their analysis. I would strongly encourage you to have your wife take a day off and accompany you for this interview, making excuses won't make you happy especially when they deny your N400. All N400 marriaged based adjudication have a higher burden of proof than 5 year filling, so making an excuse that wife can't show up will only offer ammunition to an IO who asks for her...:rolleyes:

I am probably repeating answers which I gave to you in the original posting, so refer back to that posting as rewriting the same response is criminal and a waste of time...:rolleyes:

There is no way you should go alone unless you are having issues with her. You understand this is more important than her day at school or work so dont give excuses..be clear if you are not going along

There have been a few reports that some IOs have asked if the applicant has brought the spouse to the interview, but overall this is an exception rather than rule. It's definitely not a requirement to bring the spouse in order to prove marital union requirement.

Are you applying for N-400 based on 5 years as an LPR or based on a 3-year marriage to a U.S. citizen?
 
thank you...we are married 4 years... did not know i had to wait some time to apply to be citizen..i just turn in my application and here is where i stand now... i will talk to her as far as going w her to the interview. maybe we go together.. if not.. i have prove that we r married, we are a real marriage and also i mean, u dont plan things ahead off tie to show prove to people you love somebody. our situation as far as school is important as we talk about it even before getting married. i know, i still in the process off becoming a citizen and should think and have all that the officer ask for.
thank you again for your advice... the letter did not request her even my sister said is good idead to bring her. we see what can we do... in the case i fail, what could happen?

thank you

If you believe that IO had doubts about your marriage, then you must bring your wife to the interview. IO may or may not ask about your wife. But try to cover all the bases.
 
thank you... i think i messed up on one of the dates when he ask me the dates of the apartments that i have lived here in the states.... we moved 4 times and i did not remeber it ...besides that the issues that she does not live w me for school reasons ..thats it...
 
I assume you are applying for citizenship based on marriage to a US citizen, otherwise I don't see what would be the problem. I also assume that you have a childless marriage, is that right? You have to understand that for a stranger if you are living separate from your wife and don't have children together that makes things look a bit suspicious. I agree that given the importance of the interview it would be better if your wife goes with you to the interview. You also ask for the consequences, this all depends on what the IO finds out, if the IO finds out (thinks) that your marriage is fraudulent all bets are up, they would probably try revoke your green card and deport you. If the IO is not really worried about marriage having been fraudulent at the time of GC application it might just deny your naturalization application and you'll be able to apply later on under 5 year rule or again as married (but with some further proof to satisfy that you are still "happily" married to your wife). Basically, it is impossible to know without the facts in front of us. Your hesitancy about bringing your wife to the interview (she seems to be only 2 hours away and this is important) makes it look like the marriage bonds might not be so strong. I am trying to take the position of the IO, don't get me wrong. How many things do you have in common? Lease, health insurance, life insurance, 401K, car title? I would gather all evidence you have of a functioning marriage. Evidence of your wife coming to visit every weekend. I assume you guys get together every weekend, if you only see each other every couple of months I would think that spells trouble.
 
If you live apart, that raises a red flag because the 3-year marriage rule requires you to still be married AND living together, unless you can provide a good explanation that will convince the interviewer why you're living apart. The fact that there will be a second interview shows that the interviewer isn't quite convinced of the health of your marriage. Given your situation, make sure to bring your wife to the interview (although her presence was not specifically requested), and bring documentary evidence of why she is living away from you like school transcripts and registration/ID, and evidence that you are still regularly visiting and communicating with each other, such as phone records and bus/train tickets.
