I485 Interview on Feb 11 in San Francisco
Folks,
My I485 Interview on Feb 11 was great. Unlike others who have posted about their Interview experience, it was not a cake walk for me.
I was checked for every possible timeline of stay and employment in the US. Every possible paper work that was needed to bring for the interview was thoroughly scrutinized. The complete bundle of paper work the officer finally wrapped up was more than 250 pages including all the documents for my wife.
Thanks to most postings from you guys, I was thoroughly prepared from every angle and furnished all the details. He took away all the I94's. He checked to see if I had the security clearane and found that I was clear.
But then...
He added that his supervisor had to review the paper work because I have an arrest for DUI. Unfortunaltely, the supervisor was out for lunch and he could not get her for final approval.
Well then.this is my situation after the interview...
I do not have any I94's, so I cannot travel. I am still on expired H1B and I cannot send in the extension paper to get the passport stamped, for, I94 is a must for prosecution.
What frustrates me is that I produced every possible paper work for the prosecution. I know I had a security clearance, because I glaced the clearance paper work from FBI. I have worked my butt off to make a great income in 2002 and filed the 2002 taxes too. Just because the the supervisor is not in the office, I have to go through another agonizing wait for the final approval which will take at best 30 to 60 days(the officer told us to expect that).
All I can say is that, Folks just be 100% prepared. They can pull one from nowhere and stun you.
Regards,
