Hi,

I had the AOS interview with my US citizen wife a couple of days ago at the Seattle office. I have a H1B visa which expires in 2009. The interviewer called just my wife in first, with the papers. I think just looking at our application (she is older than me and we are different cultural backgrounds), he thought that we are committing marriage fraud and that is why he started off by interviewing us separately. Anyways, I had arranged all the papers and my wife didn't know very well how it was organised. So after interviewing my wife for some time he called me in and I gave him all the required paperwork. Also, he asked me the questions he had asked my wife (my wife was also present during all this) and obviously he got the same answers from me. He was concerned about my wife not having id from the Washington and that is because we plan to move soon (blame the rain).

After asking all the questions, he just said that we would receive a letter in the mail saying the next action. He did not say if the application was denied or approved. He took my I-94. When I asked him if I needed to keep it (it is multiple entry I-94) for travel (since I am on H1B right now), he gave it back to me. It was around 4 in the evening by then and he really wanted to leave. His phone was contantly ringing. So he did not look at our photos.

The questions I have are:
1) He did not mention background check or that any papers were missing. So what are we waiting for?
He had doubt about you guys living to gether because not having same state id at the time of interview.

2) Did the guy have the right to interview us separately without interviewing us together first? YES
3) He was very unfriendly. No greetings etc. He was not professional at all. My wife is sick and was coughing during the interview. He did not even offer water. He just made an assumption that I work for Microsoft, when the papers clearly mention my current employer which is not microsoft. Has anyone else faced a similar situation?
This is official interview, since he has doubts that is the reason

4) Will getting a lawyer for my case help in anyway? How should I interpret his not looking at out photos albums?
They need to verify your marriage authencity, better catch hold of an attorney to defend your self.


Thanks in advance..
