Q: About the absence of the petitioner because she is outside the US.
My interview for the Green Card would be next month (June, 20) but unfortunately, my wife (the petitioner with the US citizen) just went to visit her family because her mother is sick. Therefore, she will not be able to come back to the US before the interview. my question is:
Should we go together to the interview (so, should I tell her to come back here before the interview? Knowing that I have much evidence for our marriage such as the lease for our home, the marriage certificate, the tax return, and pictures.
I wanted to know if this will affect the decision of the officer since she will not be here. I meant what is the percentage risk of doing that alone?
Thanks a lot.
A: She needs to be there. With enough notice, you may be able to postpone the interview by letting the USCIS know by responding to their appointment letter or by making an INFOPASS appointment, but it would be must faster for your process if she were able to be back for the interview.
