Hey guys I haven't posted here in a while. I have been a little busy. Anywho, as some of you guys know my interview was canceled but my wife and I are still going to go. We went to speak to an immigration officer through and InfoPass about a week ago and she told me that she did not see anything in her system that said my interview was canceled. She did tell me that my name check was not complete and that my files were indeed at their office (Los Angeles DO). I am very nervous and going on Friday because I don't know what to expect, I haven't gotten any new NOA's from USCIS in the mail since my cancelation letter (6/20). I will keep you guys posted on how it goes, I hope they still interview us anyways, I can't wait to get this thing done with already!! :eek:

P.S. the IO did tell me that I was put back in as "Pending Interview" on june 20th. I have no idea what that means. I guess it means that they did cancel my interview and then put me back in the "slot" like she said.
 
Well, I hope it all works out for you.

Is your name very common or something? I am trying to figure out ahead of time if I am stuck in namechek.
 
Its somewhat common I guess. Esteban Esposito.. last name is somewhat common, first name very common.
 
Well Esteban, I wonder exactly how do they do their namecheck...

From what I read they run your name & date of birth together... I am sure there are plenty of "Esteban Esposito"s out there, but the chances of many of them having your same DOB. And the chances of them having a criminal record or something... are less...

Now if your name was "Juan Perez" then... the chances are greater... but It still baffles me... :p

ps: don't you hate it how people pronounce your name "es-the-baan" :p lol

13. Show me proof of your legal status (so we showed 797 approvals)

Hi eveyone,

I just came across this site.. and was little frustated with the questions I had so may be one of you can guide me in right directions.

Background:
H1 Overstay married to US Citizen Since December 2004 (2.5 yrs). Applied for AOS and EAD in March had my interview yesterday.

Question:

During the entire interview the interviewing office asked me only ONE question (which is good /bad ) ??? What visa I came here on thats all.

Rest of the entire interview he was asking my wife all the questions but ALL OF THEM IN SPANISH ... is that legal to do so .

After the interview process.. HE told her in spanish (not in english) that he doesn't beleive that our marriage is bona-fida and is approving our case but with Conditional PR and we will have to appear after 2 years again to remove the condition.

CAN he do that .. I thought,I read all over that if you have been married for 2 years or more you receive a 10 year card without condition.??? Please guide me

It is discretionary. Pretty much the Officer can do whatever (almost) he/she wants... So your wife is the USC and she Speaks spanish? that is weird...
 
yes she does. not much as she is born here. and that irked him that she is not so close to her family. She was asked who she was living with when she met me.. and she told him with rommates. He asked you are latina and don't live with your family !!! I don't know why is it any of his business.

Venezuelan there are 30 million legal Hispanics in this country. are you telling me that speaking spanish surprises you?
 
I am saying.... he is the alien, she is petitioner... she speaks a foreign language and he doesn't? it just did not seem like the common case around here. :p

ps: where do you get your numbers?
 
I do understand spanish (been in nyc 13 years so knowing spanish is a must) not fully but understood whatever the interviewing officer asked my wife. I also speak foregin language but NOT the one the officer knows :).

Going back to my original question ??

"CAN he do that .. I thought,I read all over that if you have been married for 2 years or more you receive a 10 year card without condition.??? Please guide me "

Well he thinks your marriage is FAKE. So he could have either flatly denied you, or given you a pass by giving you a 2 yr green card (even if you have been married for > 2 yrs). Then two yrs later if you could prove beyond doubt that u are genuine, then you get your 10 yr card. I think you have it great :)
