Adjustment of Status?

Ok, I have several questions regarding the Adjustment of Status (to be a permanent resident).

1. How long approximately do you have to wait from the day you send out the applications until the day you are called for the interview?
2. Will your case be approved/denied BEFORE or AFTER that interview? Lets say, your forms are incomplete.. will they just deny it right there and then or ask you to complete it or what?
3. What kind of questions do they ask you anyway? I heard some interviewers gave people a hard time... Is it really THAT scary?
4. If your case is denied, can you try to apply again?

It's frustrating how we have to pay lots of money for the applications and not knowing whether or not you will be approved... *sigh*

I have a citizenship test. i was detanied only one time. it will affect my interview?

The length of time varies based on the case and the type of status you are trying to adjust.

After the interview the case will be either approved or denied. If the application is incomplete it will be sent back with a letter telling you exactly what needs to be fixed. You fix it and send it back.

Yes, they give you a hard time. They want to see if you're honest or not. You'd be surprised at the amount of fraud in the system.

If you are denied you can appeal. At that point you'd better have a good immigration attorney because you are on the verge of being asked to leave. If you don't leave they'll start deportation proceedings against you.

The reason the system is so bad is due to fraud. People come here illegally. People commit document fraud. People lie. Immigration is serious business. The CIS has to get to the bottom of each case and it's not fast and it's not cheap.

How can I sneak out?


1. varies widely depending on location
2. depends on why it's denied. If it's a small problem, they will tell you to fix it. If it's a big problem, they may just deny it right there.
3. It's not too bad. They mainly want to make sure that you can support yourself and won't commit crimes, etc. If you have any problems, however, like a criminal record, then it will be tough.
4. Depends why it's denied. If you can fix the problem then you can apply again.
