USCIS Adjustment of Status interviews are reportedly becoming more complex and time-consuming, as noted by immigration attorneys from Lee and Garasia, LLC, following a recent memo issued on May 21, 2023. The attorneys attended three interviews on May 27, 2023, and observed that the interviewing officers appear to be as frustrated with the process as the applicants themselves.
Key Details:
- Interviews are now lasting 90 minutes or more, compared to the previous standard of 30 minutes.
- Officers have a prepared list of questions that require detailed and compelling answers from applicants.
- Common responses, such as emotional appeals about family separation, are deemed insufficient by USCIS officers.
- Attorneys are advised to accompany clients to these interviews to ensure thorough preparation and advocacy.
The changes in interview dynamics suggest that applicants should be well-prepared to address complex questions, as the stakes in these interviews have significantly increased.
