[ChrisA]

Guys, does this sound normal, we have been waiting the her CLPR card, but now we have an interview date for 22 April 09.

Not many people have interviews on April 22, 2009 , but other than that - was there a question?

HI Randy,

 

Just kind of odd, to have a interview when she hasn't received her first CLPR/CG? But then again its been 8 months since they received the AOS packet?

Interviews are the leading cause of green cards - which will hopefully arrive soon afterward. Interviews for removal of conditions are less common

 

The interview is waived in some cases, but is still a good reason to celebrate.

[Sebastian]

An interview prior to GC issuance ? yes - it sounds normal.

 

what isn't so 'normal' - is issuance WITHOUT an interview.

 

Good Luck !

Just be sure to take all your previous documents with you along with a nice supply of relationship evidence gained since she arrived in the US.

 

We even supplied copies of His and Her's gym membership cards and pictures of us out with friends.

[ChrisA]

Just looking at resent trends, most have had there GC (CLPR) sent without an interview for there AOS? With that said, I see not one interview but two interviews in the future, one in April 09, and then again in Jan/Feb 2011 for the (10 yr GC)?

 

I'm not worried about either one, but it does seem odd to say the least since our case was transferred from MSC to CSC.

[Randy W]

To all outward appearances, interviews are chosen somewhat at random. Nothing odd at all.

 

It is, however, less common to have an interview for the 10 year card.

 

You shouldn't be surprised either way.

[ChrisA]

Well, we just got the 2nd NOA for her son, interview is the same day, about 30 minutes earlier.

 

Randy, did you son have a separate interview (different day) from your wife's interview?

[ChrisA]

So, I'm preparing for the 2 year (hence 21 month) interview for (10 yr GC) a year in advance?

Be happy they are on the same day, his interview is dependent on hers and both of you are required to attend both.

 

Be prepared, the IO may conduct both interviews together, but if not be sure to tell the IO when you go in for your sons interview that you are also here for your wife and they need to be sure to let the IO conducting that interview that you have arrived so they can work out any timing conflict.

Nope, your preparing for the first green card interview. The 21 month clock starts on the removal of conditions once they receive the first green card.

Lee,

 

Thx for the response.

 

Yes, I'm glad they are both on the same day, the son's is the first of both interviews, I don't know if they will allow her to attend the interview with me?

Sorry - I missed this earlier. Yes - his visa came almost a year after hers, so the AOS interview was a year later. In fact, the interviewing officer asked Jiaying at her interview if she wanted to bring her son. When she said, 'Yes', that was the first I had heard of it.

Randy,

 

I knew you would reply sooner than later, your son' was an FTJ situation, so your's and our's situation are a bit different, but the conditions are the same. I just hope our son gets his CLPR, and I hope will give you more ammo, to fight with USCIS when you continue the appeals process.
