USCIS may request that you appear at a USCIS office for an interview based on your petition. Interviews are typically mandatory for any type of immigrant violation or criminal issue. Here are a few examples of interviews we have attended with our clients, showcasing the diverse challenges and successful outcomes we’ve achieved.
Client 1 was from China and had previously been a member of the Communist Party but forgot to disclose this information when filing the I-485. At the interview, we were able to rectify the situation, and the case was approved.
Client 2 was on OPT, but the company he was working for defrauded him and did not provide any work as agreed. We clarified the issue during the interview, and USCIS approved the case.
Client 3 was charged with shoplifting, which could potentially result in a finding of a crime involving moral turpitude under INA 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I). We provided additional evidence to avoid this finding, and the green card was approved.
Client 4 was refused B1/B2 entry once under INA 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I), resulting in removal and a five-year bar on reentry. We explained the circumstances to the officer, cleared up several issues, and secured the green card approval.
Client 5 was on an H1B visa, but his work location was different than what was indicated in the I-129 filing, resulting in an RFE. We responded to the RFE, clarifying the situation, and the case was approved.
Client 6 entered the U.S. on an L1 visa, but USCIS suspected a misrepresentation issue under INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i) on his DS-160. USCIS was correct, so we filed a waiver, which was approved along with his green card.
These examples illustrate the types of issues that might lead to a USCIS interview. If you are concerned about your upcoming interview, please contact us at 305-515-0613. We can help you prepare and develop a strategy to win your case.
