New to this forum. Got letter for stokes interview and my spouse ( USC) is scared of it. Although we got married in good faith ( been dating for 2 years, proof of phone records), she is scared we might not make it through stokes interview. She wants to abandon the process by not attending the interview. Can some one please tell me the consequences of it.I know, I will be deported but will I get a life ban to enter USA?
I was on H1-B and used the advance parole to enter US after my trip to home. I believe I no longer on H1-B since I used the advance parole instead of H1-B. Can I still transfer back to H1-B.
Any suggestions will mean a lot to me. Its been two nights I slept and I couldn't go to bed now. Please help me.
 
Well I believe she not optimistic. She is thinking if we fail in the interview then she'll end up in prison for 5 years. Although the chances of passing are high but there are definitly slight chances of failing too.
Anyone please answer my question. Will I get a lifeban to enter US if she (we) abandon the stokes interview. Can I transfer my visa to H1-B.

Regardless of what OP says, there is no doubt left in my mind that this is a sham marriage. I can put my life on it. How many US citizen spouses talk about abandoning the adjustment of status for their alien-spouses if they want to stay together??? Nada...zero. I've NEVER heard of even one case of like this in my entire life unless US citizen spouse wants to get rid of his/her alien-spouse. In this case, OP is talking about his chances of getting back on H-1b status or not being banned for lifetime so that he could stay or come back here but I see nowhere either of them saying that they want to live together and will fight until the end this process or will move to OP's country to live togetehr. Instead, wife wants to abdandon the process and husband is looking ways to stay here one way or another. How many husbads-wives think and do like this?

See this case which has been reported very recently wherein a white lady married to a guy from Ghanna. INS denied his adjustment of status and advised him to have him processed his paperwork in his home country which he did so but got denied again. They have been filing appeal after appeal despite of no money and no job; and wife is even participating in rallies and knocking the door of Congresspeople. That's what married people do to fight for their other half until the end than worrying about going to prison or anything of this nature.

Why do you think you guys received a notice for stokes interview? Were you already interviewed at least one time? Is there any big age-difference between you and your wife? Is there any questionable facts about your marriage that made INS to conduct stokes interview?

As for your questions then you cannot get back to H1-b status nor you will be barred for lifetime if you guys abandon this process or fail to pass stokes interview. I don't know why you guys are being called for stokes interview but having a stokes interview doesn't mean application will be denied. They will just ask a few questions to see if you guys are really husband-wife. But given the attitude/fear of your wife on this matter, I'm more than sure that you guys will fail the interview unless she changes her attitude and goes to fight for husband's right to stay with her in this country.

Good luck...

Thanks Johnny cash for the reply. You are the best!!
To answer your question, I don't mind going back home and I am sure that my spouse will accompany me to the end of the earth. I can find some job and we can live happily but she never been out of the country. We got married against the wishes of my parents and my inlaws. That day I promised myself I will not let my spouse suffer as she trusted me and came with me breaking her ties.
The reason I asked about the life ban is for the reason that I don't mind going back and provide a good life to my spouse, but in future if their parents might change their opinion, then if we want to see them, will I be able to get a visit visa? and I got reply from you for which I am thankful to you.
As per our relationship I believe we don't have to prove to any one whether we both love each other or not, whether it be a USCIS official in four walls of the room judging us by a few questions or the entire cyber world reading this forum judging us by my post.
 
Having no lifetime ban to re-enter into the US is one thing, while be able to obtain a non-immigrant visa is another. Having a US citizen-wife and previously filed and denied immigrant visa application, and might overstaying bar once the case is denied will certainly prevent you from obtaining a US visa next time around.

If someone marries then s/he should care about his/her spouse first than anyone else or anything else. So it doesn't matter if she married to you against the wish of her parents and in-laws because fact is she did marry you. She needs to forget about making everyone happy or worrying who will accept her relationship with you or not or thinking about taking the approval of others, because if she really loves you and did marry you then all other factors are secondary.

Similarly, for her never been out of the country doesn't matter either. We all do things first time...It has to start first time anyway...So this is not an excuse nor defense. Anyway, all these explanations don't wipe out the fact what you have said about her thinking to abandon this process for you which is NEVER been heard. I've dealt/seen at least half million marriage based cases over the years but never heard even one case wherein US citizen spouse wants to abandon the process for his/her alien-spouse...Never. Instead, they all wanted to fight until the end to its enternity. This is first case in my life I've ever heard than US citizen spouse got scared of going to prison and wanted to abandon the process...and alien-spouse is looking ways to stay here one way or another.

Things just don't look right in your case given what you have said and what you are looking for here. Obviously, no one can read others' mind to know the truth...neither judge, immigration officer or whoever the person is, but we can only make our conclusion based on what we see and read. You MIGHT have a real marriage but based on what I've read here, there is no way in this world someone can tell me that this was a real marriage.

Failing the interview doesn't mean anybody will end up in prison. She is a US citizen, right? For her to end up in prison over this would require criminal prosecutors to show beyond reasonable doubt that it is a fraud marriage; merely failing the Stokes interview is insufficient proof for a criminal conviction.

If your marriage is genuine, the worst case scenario for failing the interview is that your green card gets denied and you are deported ... and if either of you DON'T show up to the interview, that is what will happen anyway; the green card will be denied and you'll get deported.
 
importantly, consider the facts that occurred during 1st interview. Why do you think yo failed to prove your bonafide marriage? Racial differences? Significant age gap? IS she a born USC or naturalized USC?

From my specific interview experience, the questions asked were pretty basic, albeit some may have been too basic to have in handy, Like when they asked my spouse my place of birth? She didn't remember exactly and I got mad because she has a bad memory so I said "honey" in spanish (it happened naturally by the way) and the IO pointed out, is that what you call her? And i said yes, it means such in english, and he said yeah i know what it means.

Good luck
 
I also have NEVER heard sf someone wanting to abandon the process due to a second interview when the marriage is real. I mean if you are a real couple there is nothing to worry about.

It sounds as if USCIS saw you were not a real couple, because that's exactly how you sound. Either that or she is seriously immature and make ridiculous decisions like abandoning the process when your relationship is tested.
 
Right, all they have for proof of marriage is phone records? Doesn't sound too bona fide to me, sounds like cold feet backing out of a sham marriage.
 
I bet you 2 need to understand each other well about life and marriage.


What list of documents you took to the first interview?

What do you guys do now?

What prompted the 2nd interview?




If marriage is for real, donot worry.

this article might help you:
http://www.4immigration.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=131

I don't want to judge people from a few lines of the story. But there's one thing I want to tell you, unfortunately, you have to let the USCIS judge you if you still want to keep the chance of being able to live in USA with your wife.

Have your wife read the last paragraph of that article, I don't know where she came out with 5 year prison idea. Even denied, you still have chance to appeal. It is your own life and you need to fight for it.

I already got my GC, but we went thru some bad things when I tried to get k visa to come here(A little mistake in USCIS office can make us suffer so much). My husband (USC) stopped his work and whatever he was doing at that time and fought 24/7 for a whole month till we won the battle.It was not even the biggest deal, but we wrote to everybody we could think of, asked help from congressman, governor, even white house. Every friend of ours was writing and signing letters for us. And it was paid off. What it meant to me is not only that I could come in the country, but also, it showed how much he cared for me.

oh yah, and white house even sent me a letter to welcome me to the country after I had been here for a couple months.

Good luck, guys. Let your wife get on the forum and read a few replies.

That is not true that if second interview fails you will get deported automatically, that is not the case, my lawyer just told me so last week (we had second interview yesterday and got approved, our marriage is true and interview went very smoothly)
If second interview fails, you will have to go in front on a judge who will then be the one with the decision, and if you're bonafide it's apparently way easier to deal with that the officers at uscis.
If you don't show up at the second interview you will have more trouble than if you go, actually you can't really get in much trouble if you go and your marriage is real, that would be very silly to do not to go.
