Hi All,
This is my first post in this fantastic forum where people share each other's experiences. My case got transferred to NBC on 12/6/2008 and I received my interview letter for Mar 17th interview. I have a 24 hr. detention on my record because when I came to US in 2001, my sponsoring company went out of business and I was in process of tranferring my H1B to another Co. Meanwhile, I called my family. At the airport, the IO asked me where I was working. I told him the fact that I am transferring my H1B to another company. IO was pretty rude and he refused to accept this fact and sent my family back to India right away and detained me for 24 hrs. They also started a removal proceeding case against me. Next day, I was released on bail and I started the damage repair process. After 6-8 months, I got my H1B approved through the new company. Removal proceeding case got terminated right away, and my family also joined me a month later. A year later, we moved to California and joined a new company. My current H1B and GC processing is with the same employer. Every thing is in compliance. For this I-485 interview, my biggest concern is that will the arrest/detention thing create a serious problem for our case? We have disclosed everything in the I-485 application and submitted certified copies of termination order and everything. I was wondering if someone has the same or similar kind of problem as mine, so that we can share more to prepare for the interview in a better way. Please advise. Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated. I thank in advance if someone can please respond.
