- Thread starter Moneeb
- Start date
Moneeb,
What do you mean by I-485 interview? I had interview when I applied for asylum. Once the asylum was approved then I-485 was submitting the required documentation and then wait...Once case is approved then I was required to go to the Immigration office for processing, Finger print etc....(no interview)
Best of luck for whatever interview you have tomorrow,
Regards,

No way to answer your question.
There are two types of interviews. First, they select a random sample of applicants for interviews. These interviews are generall very smooth.
Also, if NSC finds a problem in the case, they will also refer the file to local office to interviews.
Best of luck and keep us posted.

It seems then, that you are among the 2% of applicants that they randomly select for interview. If that is the case, it shouldn't be somtehing to be concerned about.
Your interview experience will be valuable for people in the same process.
Good luck

I was one among the 2% called for an interview. Follow the instructions in the interview appointment letter. I was asked to bring my W2s, passport, employment letter, birth certificate, and a few other documents I cannot quite remember. These requests can vary from person to person and from time to time ( I had my interview back in 2000.) Do exactly what your appointment letter tells you to do.
My opinion is that if they call you for an interview there is something they want to verify with you in person. I was asked if I travelled abroad after I got my asylum status, my most recent EAD ( asylees don't need EAD to work anymore per DSS rule change), and finally I was asked to sign a generic questionaire form that asks ridiculous questions like if I'm an accused war criminal, if I have been a member of the Nazi party, communist party, blah blah. After doing all that the office told me I'll have to continue waiting until further notice and reminded me about the 10K per year cap on asylee adjustment.
That's my interview experience but I can't guarantee yours will be conducted in similar way. Some ppl say it's helpful to be accompanied by a lawyer to the interview but I didn't have one.
Good luck

Jack, I don't think you were interviewed because you were among the 2% randomly selected.
Back in 2000, they were still processing applications originally filed at local INS offices. The procedure at that time, was to interview all the applicants (100%).
By the beginning of 2002, INS was completing the processing of applications filed at local INS offices following the old procedure (interviewing evrybody). Because your interview was in 2000, I believe they were still under the old procedure.
For aplications filed at NSC (they centralized evreything by June 98) they implemented a new interview procedure: to call for interview only to 2% of applicants randomly selected and those cases that in their opinion merit further verification.
Those cases within the 2% are called directly without any RFE. The others (requiring further verification) are normally preceded by a RFE and called for interview if the applicants response is not satisfactory.
But again, this new process started by the beginning of 2002 when INS was reporting they had completed the processing of applications filed at local INS offices.

Moneeb,
I can share with you my husbands interview experience. For some reason my husband was called for the interview even I was the one who received asylum. During the interview they realized this is was a mistake and we should wait for the decision on my case. He brought all requested documents plus medical exam . last month, Oct.6 I received a letter that that my case was transferred to the local office and I should wait for their decision soon. So, I am still waiting… Officer, who interviewed my husband (I was with him) was very nice, asked all those questions about Communist party (we are from former Soviet Union) and when we got married.
I wish you the best, Irina
