Stoke interview in a week!!!

[Moonaluna]

Hello everyone,

We're having our second interview in a week and we just received the letter. This is kind of soon, since we just had our first interview about two weeks ago. My husband and I have been married for almost four years and together for six. When we first got together I didn't know of his immigration status, we met when we were 19 and started our relation when we were 23 and married at 24.

For our first interview I didn't think we would have a problem since we've being married for so long but it turns out that that was what hurts us according to the IO. He was pretty rude and did the interview in Spanish although we told him we prefer to speak in English. So while he was asking the questions in Spanish we were answering in English. He barely asked any question about our marriage just said that because we have been married for so long and didn't have a kid, life insurance, a car or health insurance he wasn't satisfied our marriage was legit.

This is all so confusing. I love my husband and I'd do anything to help him out but this is bs. We been in this country since we were both 8 and just thinking we could be separated brakes my heart.

I don't know what to do, we are not a conventional couple. We got married without telling anybody we didn't have a ceremony and we don't have many documents together. Also the apartment were we lived in under my mom's name and I just feel we're screwed. We may not be financially stable but I know that man more than myself, he's my best friend. We live in NYC.

I'm going crazy just don't know what to do, I don't want him to get deported. Any advise would be gladly appreciated.

The second interview usually includes more than one USCIS officer, and is often in the setting to "gang up" on the applicant to deliberately "intimidate" in order to obtain a reaction of guilt or innocence. Much of such interviews are scripted (by training) in advance, and it may be to your benefit to show some emotion and strong feelings when accused of having a **** **** **** * relationship and marriage. By insisting on using Spanish during the interview, the officer was probably "showing off" his Spanish fluency more than anything else, as that's supposed to be part of his qualifying skill set.

The goal of the interview is to succeed in getting you to withdraw your application, often by threats. Don't tolerate such motives and stick to your commitment. TAKE AS MUCH ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE AS AVAILABLE TO PROVE YOU LIVE TOGETHER AND SHARE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. One problem a relative and also a separate family friend had in their Adjustment interviews (second interview for both) was the reluctance of the applicant (with one couple) and the petitioner (the other couple) to speak up during the interviews. Lack of verbal response by those guys seemed to anger the interviewers and was probably the main reason for second interviews. Both of these guy just don't talk for themselves, one because he hardly talks to anyone, and the other because his English isn't very good. So make sure you are both prepared to speak for yourselves.

Thank you so much Ray

I've been in this marriage so for long and put up with a lot from family and friends for someone to come and say that our marriage isn't real.

During the first interview our IO was just obnoxious and my husband just sat there and took it. He was so passive. I felt I was the only one speaking up for the both of us. Since getting the date for the second interview I've been researching and asking a lot of questions and remembering even the smallest details of our marriage. But what we don't really have are many joint documents. We have separate bills but we the same address and we have always done our taxes together and my mom and some friends are writing letters in our behalf.

Get letters from your mom and the manager describing your rental arrangement and how you share in the maintenance and rent expenses.
