why did you get
Additional Response to RFE 3/15/07? There was anything wrong with the first one?
 
transferred back to vermount

After two interviews and was told every thing was good, name check and security check was done, it seems vermount requested my files back.

Do you guys have any idea why they might have done that..?

thanks

zanbeel: Just go together as a family. Wonder why they scheduled you guys that way. But my wife and I also went together (since I was the primary) and told the officer that it did not make sense to be interviewed separately as she is my dependent. They agreed. Good luck!
 
DCMETRO22042 thank you for replying. since you have recent interview experience i have couple of questions for you please reply.
1) what kind of questions did they ask you
2)how long was the interview.
3)what documents they asked for.

please share your overall interview experience.this will help me to reduce my stress :confused:
 
To tell the truth, interviews are pretty painless. They always ask you about your current job (and if its your sponsoring employer you still working for), then about any arrests, etc. Then they just collect papers such as employment letter, might want to see tax papers. Thats all for me. Took me about 20-25 min total. Took more time since I had my toddler with me. Best of luck and don't stress bcoz of interview. They're there to typically approve you.
 
Interview with/without lawyer?

My Interview is scheduled next week. My corporate lawyer is in a different state and they cannot accomany me during the interview. In this situation, I am planning to hire an attorney in DC area to go with me.
It would apprciate if you post your opinion, should go with or without an attorney. Also, can someone post recent interview experience?

Zanbeel, would you please post your interview exp?
 
thanks Dcmetro22042 i am really less stressed now .hopefully everything will be ok on 6th.
mb1 i will share my experience with you guys after the interview. my lawyer will also on vacations and cannot accompany us but she told that we usually dont need lawyer.she said that if you have arrests or convictions or other things like that ,then u might need ,otherwise that is fine.
 
Guys: Save your money and don't take your lawyer unless you have a special reason to (like some arrest, DUI, etc). Questions are simple and they're generally nice people. That's been my experience. Relax and be natural and you shall be fine. Best of luck
 
visa not available

today we went for interview.the officer only called my husband ,as he is primary after 45 minutes they called me and kids and didn't ask even a single question from us.at the end of the interview they gave us white papers with check mark on "visa not available". ........anyone knows what does this mean???
 
Today we had our interview and the immigration officer told that my case is approvable but they can't approve as the VISA number is not available.:confused:
 
Green_ind,

That's really upsetting. I guess I'll have the same fate on my next week's interview. Do you need to reinterview? Did they ask any questions?

Thanks,
 
Mb1,


That's really upsetting. I guess I'll have the same fate on my next week's interview

*** Yes, i am really disappointed.

Do you need to reinterview

*** No . ( Checked with IO :p )

Did they ask any questions

***Yes , very few..

Some questions…

1) About my previous and current employers information. My recent pay stubs and employment letter.
2) My current role in the company and what EXACTLY I do at my work
3) Last entry date ( from I-94)
4) Parents legal names.
5) Date of birth / Place of birth

Good Luck MB1. Hope our dates will current in OCTBER Bulletin…
 
Just came from my interview. It was very simple process and some standard questions. The IO lady was also very nice.
Unfortunately, I'll also have to wait until October when VISA number becomes available.

Please post the questions she asked you.
Thanks
 
it was simple
name, DOB, address,tel#, standard questions (ever arrested, want to follow polygumy....)
she took us oath
ask for some papers although i had 3 bag full of papers. She asked for,
1. Driving license
2. Passport
3. EAD
4. Employment letter
5. Tax return for 2006
6. Paystub
7. Daughter Birth Certificate
8. Wanted to see any paper that proves spouse living with me. I gave joint bank statement
that's it. she took our i-94 and stapled to our files.
Few days ago I asked in this forum if I need lawyer or not. I think there is no need to take a lawyer.
 
Another Waiting

I had an interview yesterday and my case is ready for approval. Almost there but another waiting.
 
Change of Address(mistake)

I am waiting for my interview date and my name check is pending. There was a mix and my address was changed from Virginia to Maryland. Yesterday my lawyer got a letter from the washington office that my address has been changed on my file and for any further info about my case we should contact the baltimore office.
Now that my lawyer has called the 800 number and changed my address back to my virginia address again. It took the washington office four months to change my address, does anyone know how quickly should I expect the baltimore office to send my file back to washington office?
I have experienced that DC office is very slow and should I expect quicker service from the Baltimore office?
Does any have experience about address change with the baltimore office?
 
My I-485 was transfered to Chicago asylum office for processing since sept 06. Applied for GC Aug 2003. Had 2 set of fingerprints done and 2 medical examinations done. After that my I485 was transferred. I have called and written to this office mutiple times to check why is taking so long, but I have not gotten my questions answered. Consulted a lawyer and was told I needed to wait. But how long do I need to wait? Chicago is processing I-485 within 6 months. Seems to me this case is "frozen".
Has anyone gone through this and what suggestions do you have for me?
What is the procedure for processing I485?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
