Q: What happens after a surprise home visit by USCiS especially if the visit created more issues?
Will the couple be given an opportunity to correct any misunderstandings, provide additional support material? This is after filing the 751 but before a 751 interview occurred.
A: After a surprise home visit by USCIS, if the visit raised issues regarding the validity of a marriage, the couple typically has the opportunity to address these concerns. The couple may be asked to provide additional evidence to support the legitimacy of their marriage. This could happen through a follow-up interview or by a request for evidence (RFE). It’s crucial for the couple to respond to any RFEs or notices from USCIS promptly and comprehensively. If there are misunderstandings from the home visit, the couple should clarify and provide evidence to counter any doubts during subsequent interviews or through additional documentation. Legal representation is advisable to navigate this process, as an attorney can help in presenting a clear and structured response to USCIS's concerns. It's important to be proactive in dealing with these issues to avoid adverse outcomes.
