Marriage-Based Green Card Interview Fact

October 9th, 2024 | immigrationlaw

False!
.
During the marriage-based green card interview, USCIS officers are tasked with ensuring that the marriage is genuine and not solely for immigration purposes. To achieve this, officers often question both spouses—sometimes separately—to assess their knowledge of each other and the authenticity of their relationship.

USCIS Update

October 7th, 2024 | immigrationlaw

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) recently released important fact sheets concerning family-based conditional permanent resident (“CPR”) status.

What is a Derivative Beneficiary?

September 27th, 2024 | immigrationlaw

A derivative beneficiary is a foreign national who cannot be directly petitioned for, but who can follow-to-join or accompany the principal beneficiary based on a spousal or parent-child relationship.
.
When a derivative beneficiary of a family-sponsored preference petition (such as F4) reaches the age of 21, they are no longer considered a “child” for immigration purposes. Instead, they are classified as an “adult” or “aged-out” child.
.
Congress recognized that many children were aging out due to large USCIS processing backlogs, so it enacted the Child Status Protection Act (“CSPA”) in August 2022 to protect certain children from “aging out.”

USCIS Interview Questions 

September 25th, 2024 | immigrationlaw

Recently, an interviewing officer at the USCIS Boston Field Office posed some unexpectedly detailed questions to assess the genuineness of my client’s relationships.
.
Among the questions were:
What kind of stove do you have – gas or electric?
Who sleeps closer to the window?
Who sleeps closer to the door?
.
These seemingly simple questions can test your knowledge of everyday details in your shared life. While they might seem trivial, they play a role in assessing the depth of your relationship. The officer’s line of questioning highlights the importance of being prepared for anything during the interview.
