Now, start the waiting game of remove conditional GC.
As long as your combined income is over 125% of the poverty line income. Nothing else matters, if your combined income wasn't suffecient you would have received an RFE or an intent to deny. Assuming you didn't get either letters you should be fine. Keep the company details to your self in the interview unless the officer brings up the issue or you have a reason to bring it up.Congratulations on the approval of GC! I was hoping you could advice me a bit:
- Married to USC. Applied for AOS in Jan 2004.
- Fingerprinting and interview Feb 04, April 04
- Application accepted pending FBI name check
- Just got a notice for a 2nd interview (In the meantime, I have applied for EAD, Advance Parole 3 times, multiple fingerprinting, etc.)
Here are my questions:
1) Are re-interviews common - given that in the last visit the officer mentioned that the application is approved.
Second interviews are not uncommon, especially if the first interveiw has been done more than 2 years ago.
2) Does the re-interview mean that my FBI name check got cleared?
I would assume so, but noting is set in stone with INS. I have seen citizenships revoked.
3) Recently I started my own company and I have not being drawing a salary. Its a Delaware based company and I can easily prove that I am a founder. Is that an issue?

4) Since we have been married for over 3 years now, do we still have to go though the conditional green card for the next 2 years?
Since you have been married over 2 years you should receive the 'no conditions' greencard. Unless the CIR bill passes in the senate in the meantime. Part of the CIR is the conditional GC will be issued for 6 years. Since the bill is still in the formation stage and with the war debate in the Senate next week its very unlikely that the bill will pass before labor day.
Good luck !
I hope so too. Then again, we don't know the final flavor of the bill that will be on the presidents desk and a big WHEN !Ipoh,
Thanks for the reply. One clarification:
- why do you say I shouldnt bring up my own company details. I mean they have asked to see latest pay stubs, etc. Thats why I asked. My wife's salary is good enough. Again, I am under the impression that on an EAD and on AOS, I am allowed to start my own company in the US, right?
Even the best immigration attorneys take a weak stand on the company's started by non-immigrant visa holders. As of now your status is pending AOS. My attitude towards any interview is 'Don't ask - don't tell' unless you believe there is a resonable benifit to you. Keep the interview short and sweet. If they ask you for pay stubs, you might have to bring up the company. But for family based interview you will be asked for W-2's and/or tax returns.
- I didnt receive any RFEs or Intent to Deny mails.
- I had no idea about this new law that could get passed. Wow! I hope we get the GC in April!!! Thanks for mentioning it.
My attorney told me that you can get a good idea about whether your name check will take a while by how many hits you get on google when you enter your own name. I was wondering whether anyone stuck in name check has seen how many google hits they get.
-also, is there an LUD for the I-485 when namecheck is done??
