USCIS to Expand In-Person Interviews for Permanent Residency Applicants Starting October 1st

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it is expanding in-person interviews for persons applying for permanent residency (green cards).
Beginning October 1st, USCIS will being conducting in-person interviews for individuals applying for permanent residency under the following benefits types:
- Employment (Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status)
- Refugee/Asylee Petitions (Form I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petition) for beneficiaries who are in the United States and are petitioning to join a principal asylee/refugee applicant.
Previously, in-person interviews were not conducted for applicants under the above categories. The change is in compliant with Executive Order 13780 “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States” unveiled by the Trump administration earlier this year, says USCIS.
USCIS says conducting in-person interviews will provide USCIS officers an opportunity to prevent fraud of the system and verify the information provided in an individual’s application, and to determine the credibility of the individual seeking permanent residency.
“This change reflects the Administration’s commitment to upholding and strengthening the integrity of our nation’s immigration system… USCIS and our federal partners are working collaboratively to develop more robust screening and vetting procedures for individuals seeking immigration benefits to reside in the United States,” said James McCament, Acting USCIS Director.
USCIS plans to expand in-person interviews for other immigration benefit types.

You, the Americans are so stupid.
Why won't you focusing on illegal
Why won't you focusing on fraud marriage which I believe is third at least out of total marriage.
you are stupid
This is true. There's a lot of illegal people out there working while people who are trying to do it the right way are stuck waiting for their papers to go through (which tends to take a little longer) I wouldn't say stupid but there is indeed a more pressing matter that needs to be attended to.
Couldnt agree more! People who have H1B already went through fraud verification.... this is too much. They should focus on other issues!
Why don't you focus on fixing your broken English instead?
A fall in love with a guy love i marrie him give him his green card but they give him the conditional one now I fund out he never loved me he was only after his green card but he didn't get the conditional remove yet,I hope they make an example out of him.
How in heaven are u a citizen? if you can't even write proper English??? Are u kidding me right now?SMFH
I know right?sounds like mexican.
Who said you must be fluent in English to be a citizen of any country? SMFH
You don't seem to know how the constitution works in matters of citizenship. Google it out. They have translators to help ppl become citizens if they cannot seek the queens language.
What?
Edward. You will NEVER Get or Travel out of Africa. You are stuck.
What states will be doing this and what all is needed.
Mitrafirm.com we can help
I agree that USCIS should screen everyone applying because many applying for Adjustment, commit fraud.
I understand EDWARDS comment on focusing on illegals I married a girl from Philippines, after she received her greencard she moved in with two illegal alien Philippine men and filed divorce taking my home, car, and bank account. USCIS and ICE, & Government will do nothing.
So now the government has to "do something" because you married the wrong one?
interesting.
Exactly let's make the tax payer to pay for my stupidity... I do t think so🤔
I understand about the fraud
My brother married a Colombian woman got her green card and her son, and that ΩΩГ left my brother, ICE won't due anything
Know to come find out she's lending her Social Security to her illegal sister and other friend's...unreal
ICE please we are giving you the information and you ignore it.....

How can I get and interview. I file for a work permit over a year ago but haven't heard anything. I fe and i 1-30
Being a Pakistani, why I was discriminated and was denied for US documents?
There is no criminal record against me. I paid taxes from the year 1996 to 2016.
I married to US citizen and stayed in USA for twenty years.
Three times I was robbed and hit by theieves at night.
There is no justice for me. Now I am in Pakistan since Feb, 26 2017. In my absence I lost my mother, brother, three nephews, four brother-in- laws and eight cousins. So I had to come to visit my relatives for condolences in Pakistan.
I am 63 now. From where I can get justice?
America claims to be champion of Civil Rights.
Where are my rights?
My wife calls me to come back to USA.
There is no visa for me.
I feel you Mohammed.. Civil rights my foot.. America thing they are the king... I'm from South Africa and it hasn't been easy
I feel sorry for you Muhammad.
So they won't let you come back to thA states ????
Am an American citizen married husband 7years ago no criminal or bad record but still hasn't got visa it's just interview after interview. He us honest and hardworking but he can't get a visa. Sad
Am an American citizen married husband 7years ago no criminal or bad record but still hasn't got visa it's just interview after interview. He us honest and hardworking but he can't get a visa. Sad
My husband was here in the us got his interview appt to go to Ciudad Juarez we did not have the waiver approved so now he has been in Mexico for the past 7 months awaiting for the waiver what are the chances or what can we do??? Please help.
Sweetie my ex husband couldn't get his new wife a green card
She had to leave ten year's for coming in the US illegally
I know the law has changed
Hopefully he won't get punished and they will let him come back soon.prayers
My wife is Swiss but she's here now and legally after we got married in Nevada. she's been here over a year and all I can do is scramble to try to get her papers I don't have enough money to do all of the paperwork for her residency we've been trying to work on the 485 we're almost done we just got to file it but it's really hard to afford when you have to take care of your spouse and yourself and you're just a dog groomer. It's because of all the illegal immigration that's been happening it's messed up it wouldn't be so expensive if people just came here the right way now I have to deal with this and my love and I are only in our twenties and can't get up on our feet in California.
It's not the others people fault
California is very expensive to live.
One more thing please don't blame the people
Blame the companies that hire illegal
If all Employer's would follow the law there wouldn't be any illegal problems in this country.wish you both the best
Hope all goes well...
I want to tell to the worried spouse that probably it will be hard for your spouse to obtain a waiver because he was not supposed to leave the country without having the waiver approval.
For the dog groomer I want to tell you that there are a lotvof non profit organizations that will be willing to help you with your wife`s adjustment of status for free. The only thing is that you have to pay the applications fee, but the organization will be your legal adviser until the end of the process with immigration. They also prepare you for the interview. Go to www.immigrationlawhelp.org, put your zip code and these organizations near your area will appear. If there is none near you dont worry they will help you anyway. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU GUYS.
I read all the comments good and bad but its all complain about after getting green card there spouse leave well that's sad after you done all you could ,,,but why won't the reality speak of Manny spouse been abuse during the purpose and that's the reason for leaving some spouse leave after getting green card because of abuse but no one going to admitted how the treat the spouse but they will lash out and them for leaving....if something wasn't wrong why the person leave...why what is the difference with overseas spouse and american spouse they can bullshit them because 85% don't give a shit so they get overseas spouse try to control them rule them tell them where the go and can't treat them like a child speak the truth

After being in relationship with him for 3 years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all other ones out there. Anybody who need his help, should contact his email, DROGBEMUDIANSPELLHOME@GMAIL.COM.

Why could my Husband not be loyal to me, respect me as his wife, love me and only me without breaking our marriage vows? My Husband’s behaviors caused me to think maybe we were not meant to be together. It hurts to the bone when your life partner turns against you, making you sad instead of being your motivator, always engaging you in constant argument and confusion with the kids. The worst is him being unfaithful, seeing other women is like stabbing you in the back. My better half caused me so much pain for over 2years and 4months, we reassembly separated like 6weeks because his continuous reckless behavior became unbearable. I searched for permanent solution to get him back to us both physical and spiritual throughout the entire 6weeks. I was lucky to have Dr. Wakina (dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com) handle my case after reading alot of his spell stories. “Can you help me get my Husband back” was the request I made and the rest is history. My marital home is even better since the love spell changed and brought back my Husband. Dr. Wakina made me believe in second chance.
me and my husband was haven some misunderstanding that leads us to divorce, i never thought am gonna be able to get my husband back to me again" it was really terrible for me when he leaf me at December 14 2016 close to chrismax cerebration, i feel so a lone i could not go true the heart break because i loved him so much, i do all i could to get him back but nothing happens my friends tried all there best to help me talks to him to accepts me back but never listening, so i talks and thinks about it to get a spell dr. contacted for the help of bringing him back to me which i known that is the only way to get him back to me again, them i was able to get DR.COROBO email and his contact i was really happy to get reach to this dr. due to what people has be saying about him on how it has be helping relationship and curing diseases" i contact him for the spell and before i am to known my husband called me and he was crying on the phone by telling me to forgive him for what ever he may has cost me that him needs me back and them i forgive him and we where one again, he has loves me like it has never be before he has cherish me so much and i have nothing to say but to say thank you DR.COROBO you can email him if you wants to by solving your home marriage and your relationship https://www.facebook.com/Home-of-spells-732499473608461/ email. dr.corobospellhome@gmail.com call whatssap +2348155728933 thank you all for listening.
Calm down people!!! If you can not verify the info you provided or remember what you wrote down then you should worry. I see many asking where it's going to happen, all across the USCIS offices.
I seem to be grieving for too long. I've been divorced for over a year and I had been the one who filed for it. The main reasons for the divorce were that I and my husband had been very loving, caring and sharing a lot of common things for almost 15 years. Whoever we met would comment how much we complement each other. My husband got a job outside of the country, where I also joined him with the children, but I was not working. He changed drastically and became intolerant and undermining me. I tried to hold on to the marriage until I realized I was beginning to believe what he was saying about me. Although I was not happy to leave him behind, he insisted that I leave and go look for a job in our country where he would join us later. Once I was in our original country I began to be very angry with the way he treated me when I was not working. We squabbled all the time over the telephone. By the time he rejoined us in our country, he had totally lost interest in me. All in all, I felt betrayed, abused and then discarded. While I have rebuilt my life and continue to do so, I realize that I miss our life and that the divorce has affected our children a lot. He stays with someone now, whereas I am unable to form a relationship. It is as if I do not want to be in a relationship anymore. But I feel lonely, depressed. Sometimes I wish I was already 60 yrs old so that I am closer to death. But after contacting Dr. Todd on E-mail (manifestspellcast@gmail.com) at once my husband came back home and never leave again.

Dr. Todd, I still laugh every time I think of my former ex (now fiance). I had the adult dysfunctions revenge spell cast on him and got to hear the stories come in. He couldn’t figure out what had happened to him. He tried pills, creams, anything over the counter or under to help his situation. After watching him suffer a bit, I was sympathetic and we talked, ended up working out our differences and I reversed the spell. He still doesn’t know what happened and I still laugh when I think about it, all this happended all because of manifestspellcast@gmail.com/manifestspellcast@yahoo.com
