interview

Interview
Today my husband had an interview. As some of you probably know, he was not a principal applicant, he was granted derivative asylum. By suggestion of our lawyer( and some people on this forum) we decided to go all together, just in case. And this was a right decision. An immigration officer was very confused when he opened his file , NSC was processing our case as a marriage based. I had all documents prepared . He explained to us that this is mistake and hi can not do anything until they (NSC) will make decision on my case , but he asked my husband questions anyway. He was concern about :
- traveling
- did we have any public assistance ( I guess he meant a welfare ? )
- taxes for the last three years,
- communist party membership
- where we intended to deceive US government when we came here as a visitors in 1992 and applied for asylum.
He couldn't ask me any question since he didn't have my case.
And I almost forgot, he asked for the first I-94 when we entered US in 1992. I was issue anew one after my first interview in 1992, and don't ask me why I didn't get read of the original one. He took it and stamped to his (my husband's)file. I guess this is it. If some of you have any questions, feel free to ask , I will be happy to answer if it can help any of you.
Thank you, irina

Well-well, INS is working, we see...
He told, he can not do anything with your husband's derivative status, until they will make decision on yours, main applicant, case. With me was different: I am derivative(sharing the same interview), and my GC was approved before they even received my husbands RFE. But some lawers said to me, my case will depend on the decision on the main applicant's case, some - it will not.
Anyway, I wish you the best in your way for GC. I hope, it will be over soon.
