Interview for Adjustment of Status (Wife US Citizen)
Hello Friends,
I have applied for my EAD/GC thru my US Citizen wife.
I have received EAD.
Last week i have also received a notice for interview.
It says....
Form -485, Application to register premanent residence or adjustment of status.
Is this the time when they stamp my Passport for GC? Or this is something else?
What type of questions do they ask?
Please help
Thanks
ImmigrantBoy
Hello Friends,
Is this the time when they stamp my Passport for GC? Or this is something else?
Yes, thats it! If all goes well, they will stamp your passport. Youre almost there.
hi Immigrantboy,could you please give us your details...ie when u filed and dates u got notices or approvals...ur entire journey so far...thanks
If you read here about passport stamping appointments, this is mainly in regards to employment based green-cards. In the EB categories uncomplicated I485s get approved without an interview, the PP stamping only serves to document the approval and to order a plastic card. (In this regard it is something else)
Most people here in this forum are employment based immigrants. If you look around on the web you might find some lists of the questions folks are beeing asked.
In family based cases you pretty much always have a formal interview (not only PP stamping). If they approve you during the interview (common), they will allow you to get your passport stamped on the same day. If they have some background checks pending or if one of their decrepit computer systems happens to be down, you will have to come back later.
They will ask some questions to get an idea whether you have a genuine marriage (common address, common property, common accounts, common kids, fights). They also want to get an idea whether your wife bought you as a mail-order husband (i.e. whether you knew each other before the day of the marriage).
If your wifes income is only marginally above the required 125% of the federal poverty level, there might be some questions regarding her affidavit of support.
If you do have a genuine marriage, you dont have too much to worry about.
