Get Your Green Card Petition Approved By Immigration At Your Stokes Interview
As you may know, a Stokes Interview is scheduled by the USCIS to further probe the bona fides and legitimacy of the marital relationship.
The interview is recorded, and husband and wife are examined separately, while the other is outside in the waiting room.
At a recent immigration interview for a green card, the beneficiary haled from Egypt and was 19 years younger than the petitioner.
These two factors played a major role in the original officer deciding to schedule a follow-up Stokes Interview.
At the stokes interview, the couple produced a wealth of documentation supporting the notion that they truly intended to live together when they entered the marital relationship.
Perhaps most interesting (and most persuasive) was a newspaper article they submitted from a local newspaper that featured their new business which they opened together.
The piece referred to the two as husband and wife, and included a picture of the two of them working at their business location.
The confidence exhibited by both petitioner and beneficiary during the course of their green card examination was impressive.
Their answers indeed all matched except for some minor discrepancies, which even the immigration officer characterized as a "minor".
Rather than making the beneficiary wait to receive an approval notice in the mail, approximately 10 minutes after the conclusion of the examination the immigration officer issued a Notice of Approval of Relative Immigrant Visa Petition (Form I -171), causing the petitioner to become teary eyed with happiness and the beneficiary to beam with gratitude and relief, knowing that he will shortly be able to visit his family in Egypt as a new permanent resident of the United States.
