New change to the aos policy?

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

The blog post is massively biased. Totally picking information to make their point. The author is saying if you elected "hilary" and "pelosi", nothing would happen. Again two politicians who for eons, supported allowing ICE to grow as an agency and gain more power.

So yes if the author's goal is, vote for the other party because if you miss an RFE your spouse is at risk to be deported within 24 hours. Versus actually analyzing the true issues at the heart of the converstation sure.

EXACTLY.

Failed to mention that for some cases, administrative review is an option even if a Notice To Appear is issued.

Are you using your own misreading of a case I posted in another thread to attack me in a completely unrelated thread?

For your information, if you are talking about the first case I cited, 12 OCAHO no. 1287, the case contained exactly what I said it would; you just missed it and read the wrong part. The person in that case filed 2 claims. One, based on national origin discrimination, was filed with the wrong agency, but I never talked about national origin discrimination. The other claim, based on citizenship status discrimination, was dismissed because as an EAD holder he was not a "protected individual" for citizenship status discrimination, and was therefore ineligible to file such a discrimination claim, which was exactly what I said in describing the case.

Not engaging. Carry on...

My interpretation is that the change in policy isn't a huge one. It doesn't seem to increase the liklyhood of a denial, just the aftermath of one.

YUP.

The examples in that article is highly doubtful- how do they find out the women diagnosed with cancer? Through immigration Physical examination?

Have you been to an AOS interview? The officer can and will ask about your health status and if you have any diseases. He can legally ask any questions to gauge your risk of being a ?public charge?

This guy uscitizenfilingfpespouse is apparently biased due to his political brainwashes. What I observed about those supporters of him is that they will continue to live in a fairy land where they will create lies to fool themselves that the new policies are to get the ?bad? guys and missing the mark that the true intention is to cause as much delay and denials of immigrating benefits to as many as intending immigrants as possible. Well unfortunately that includes your wife sir. Don?t think they will give her a pass because you are a supporter of him. LOL

This forum is built on helping one another rather than putting one's opinion down. You might read new rules in a negative way or try to see things with negative intention but I am happy to know that some other people like USCFFS are able to show us the other side of the picture. Either you would like to see it or not but her suggestions has been very helpful for so many readers here. As someone who was trained to anylize news I can clearly say that the news is bias and with full of misleading information just to create fear and negativit.

Let's work together to get the most out of this very stressful process.

Having just had my interview and being approved, I'd like to add something in response to the harsher comments made in this thread.

Everyone's opinion on this forum is valid to me. There is a lot of mixed information yes, but on the whole we generally have a very good idea on what to expect when it comes to AOS, because everyone comes and shares their experiences from start to finish. We use that as a gauge to how things are done, what's needed, why people are approved, why others are denied. I for one have found this forum extremely useful, and that's why I have continued to comment and post my views, advice and experiences throughout my process, and I will continue to do that, because giving back to others that helped, that took time to give advice and contribute is what makes this forum extremely valuable.

We are all nervous going through this process. We can never 100% know what to expect in an AOS interview, but with our combined efforts at discussing our experiences, giving our opinions, letting people know the best way to file, what may or may not cause unnecessary RFEs, we make the whole experience that bit easier. The advice I got from this forum made sure I was ultra prepared for my interview. There were people around me in the waiting room with one envelope with only a few pages in it, there were people being obviously separated for interviews and they didn't have much with them either. Yes, some people will pass the interview with little evidence, but others won't and it's this forum and others like it that helps close the gap between how many are approved and how many are denied.

Me and my wife waltzed into that place today with 3 binders that were full of documents, as well as a box with some extra evidence, we probably looked ridiculous in comparison to others around us, but you know what? The officer took a lot of the evidence we brought with us, we were prepared, we had lots of new evidence as well as copies of all the forms we had submitted previously and all evidence we submitted initially, just in case. In fact, as we walked out of the interview, myself and my wife carrying the binders and box, someone commented to their lawyer (very obviously the lawyer sat next to a husband and wife) saying, "oh wow they've got a lot of stuff, shouldn't we have more?" And the lawyer said, "oh no don't worry about it you won't need all that." So these people are paying a lawyer to represent them, and he's not telling them to bring as much as they can because the more prepared you are, the more organized you are, the less you're going to struggle in the interview, he's just telling them it's going to be okay. In some cases sure it is, but others no it isn't and you end up having to pay the lawyer for more of their time.

So forums like this, where people have first hand experience of the process discuss the best way to do things, to me is worth more than a lawyer. In some cases of course you will need legal representation that's a given, but sometimes just doing it yourself, being organized, following instructions, exchanging words with people on forums like this will be enough to get you through and is invaluable.

Very well said! You left nothing to chance, and there you have it. As expected, you were approved on the spot. And little by little, the bar keeps getting raised. The days of showing up with 3 pieces of paper are over. Been there, it's not an experience I recommend.

Congrats!

Will see what?s gonna happen , how people will be passing interviews .

Thanks, but again sounds like basically if you do not have status you must leave the country. If your work visa ends, you must leave. If your schooling is complete you must leave.

Also she states, the old policy was USCIS informed ICE. ICE is rounding up everyone down the street and back so not sure what difference that makes. I would rather deal with USCIS than an angry ICE agent.

ICE held a french citizen visitng her family in Canada who accidently jogged in the wrong part of a park for 2 weeks, without ID. I'd rather take my chances with a USCIS officer.

They are going insane with these arrests. Detaining people like crazy. I personally think they are getting incentives for the amount they "catch" each month on their salary.

The officer that interviewed me and my husband is a former ICE agent! Lol I saw it on his LinkedIn profile and other connections on his profile are officers who worked in ICE and the local police department.

The major effect of this policy is there will be no second cracks at the wall. If for any reason you are denied AOS - you are going to be put in deportation and your AOS just got 10X more complicated.

The main issue people missed with the new policy is that for any reason USCIS denies the AOS due to their error (like the RFE was lost in the mail or they lost your interview notice). they can now put you in NTA legal limbo.

You are NOT allowed to leave the country volunteerily because that will trigger a 10 year ban to enter. If you stay to wait, you are accumulating unlawful presence, and the wait can be as long as 7-10 years. During this time, you are not allowed to work nor you are allowed to leave the country. All this because USCIS does something as simple as losing your RFE mail. It?s like a 10 year prison sentence for people who follows the law with no resort to appeal. It?s not only unfair, it?s fascism in nature.

[cali2018]

So let?s be clear...

Someone comes on a b2 visa, one month to go starts AOS. 5 months later miss an RFIE get AOS denied. You think if that person leaves day of AOS denied will result in a 3 year ban and not able to apply for cr1 once home?
