Somebody told me that they go asked the same question and when they said yes they got denied, and even if you no they still got denied. So what is the best thing to do or say if you have an interview and you are filing for a green card through marriage?
Any answer will be helpful. Thank you

I would ask an immigration lawyer what you are suppose to say. I have no idea. But good Luck.

I do not suggest that you lie, I do suggest that you consult a lawyer who specializes in immigration issues to find out "how" to best answer questions from the person who will interview you. Supposedly the people doing the immigration interviews are only after the truth. They are human just like all of us - everyone has a bad day from time to time - some more often than others, and although there are guidelines they must follow, there is some discretion upon their part as well. It has been my experience that there are some answers that are "more" correct than others when dealing with our government workers and forms. You can answer a question in all innocence and find that you have committed something that is not permitted without knowing it. You can then try to explain it but sometimes the damage is already done. A consultation with an immigration attorney, especially in these times of pressure about immigation issues, would be money well spent. Whatever you do, do not lie. If you are caught lying about anything that could call into question whether you have been truthful with them on other questions.

I have a daughter-in-law from Mexico who has been through this process. She has been in the U.S. for almost 5 years, married to my son and immigrated legally. I know they had lots of paperwork, and had to prove that they were really a married couple with a real relationship - not just an arranged marraige for the benefit of a green card. I wish you good luck in your quest for the green card. I do believe it is easier if you are married to a citizen. I hope the process goes smoothly for you. Some people have no trouble at all. Anyway, happy new year, have a wonderful 2007 and welcome to the U.S. It is a country with flaws, but many wonderful things as well.

The last thing you want to do is bad-mouth your current or former employers. You wouldn't be the first person to lie in an interview about that. You just have to be certain of what your employer will say should they call. I did say once in an interview that my ethical standards appeared to be higher than my employers'. The person nodded in agreement, "Oh, I've been there!" I have also said that an employer has been making cutbacks and I'm making a preemptive strike, and maybe someone else will be able to keep their job if I find another one. Then there is the old, less dangerous, "I feel as though I have exhausted my opportunities with the company. There is no further advancement that is available to me."

Yes, just say yes. It'll show remorse, but you have to tell who for, because you worked, when alot of illegals don't, and do other things. Someone has to be held responsible and the Person or Company got over alot more than you, and on the rest of us too.... So I'm black an I understand coming here to work, not undocumented but everyone and everybodys situation is different. but what is the same is the big business will all way accept below wage labor... Ether way screw Big Business never the little guy, and thats Us ....

Immigration knows that anyone who has been here for a substantial amount of time has most likely worked. In fact the affidavit of support gives the alien the option of basing it on their social security contribution, rather than the income of a sponsor (this will make more sense to anyone who has had to fill one out). The last thing you want to do is lie. If you do and they find out it will hurt your chances.

If you have no record of working and your wife makes enough money to support the both of you, then you assume the next. If you do say you were working that's what the I-485A is for, it also comes with a $1000.00 fine. Your friend should appeal that discussion!

Good luck
