Ms. Libia B married a man that was extremely older in age. Mr. Francisco filed for Libia’s adjustment on March 5,…
On the interview date, the couple had all original documents with them. The documents were organized, indexed, and methodical. We prepared them. Of course, this was the date of the blizzard. I told them to get there as early as possible just in case since Mt. Laurel hadn’t closed. I left two hours early, got to the interview five minutes early only to find out the officer had already interviewed Rosa and her husband without me!
I immediately asked for the supervisor. I couldn’t believe they would interview my client knowing I was on the way. The supervisor advised me that the interview lasted less than five substantive minutes. She approved Rosa right away and complimented me on our organization which made her job a lot easier. She explained because they were closing early and she knew she was going to approve the petition she took them without me as a courtesy.
Rosa was fortunate. She should never have agreed to meet with the officer without me. Particularly, since she knew I was on my way and that she had paid for me to be there. The officer could have made Rosa’s experience very difficult. Because Rosa was married after she was placed in removal proceedings, the standard of proof is higher. That is why we weren’t taking any chances on her petition.
Once we receive the approval notice, we will file a request to terminate the proceedings against her. We will then file for her adjustment of status (Form I-485). This will get her green card. Because she is in removal proceedings, either
Rosa is on track to get her green card in the U.S.
