    Am sorry things went south for you. First thing you need is to get a lawyer and your wife should never sign anything without reading the content. If your marriage is genuine you shall be fine but expect a lot of scrutiny. They will probably call you back for a stokes interview and may come to your home unannounced to make sure you live together.

      If your adjustment of status is denied you can apply again

      You have no control over the attitude of the adjudicating officer, but you can coach your spouse into being a more competent advocate for you, and you can be more forthcoming with her about your personal life so that she can corroborate all the details

        I don't think the word "coach" is an appropriate word to use. He was not honest by not letting his wife know about his sister. Marriage is about telling each other everything, the good and the bad. Sure the wife could have read what she was about to sign and the officer could have been nice and at least told her.

        Both parties are at fault. At this point, I would get a lawyer.

            Walbrzyszanka,

            Maybe "coach" isn't the right word, but I hope it helped conveyed what I was thinking

            Immigration is a journey and spouses are partners in that journey. Legally, it is merely enough to have a bona fide marriage, but in practice the spouse is an active participant in the process.

            That spouse needs to have an understanding of the procedures and rules that pertain to the immigration benefits the alien seeks. That spouse needs to have a complete understanding of the aliens history: at a minimum their residence, education, work, criminal, marriage, and immigration history, as well as details about their family. That spouse also needs to be able to avoid being intimidated, confused, or mislead by authority figures.

            If the spouse is not equipped with all these capacities, it is up to the alien to teach/coach/train the spouse appropriately. I'm still struggling to find the right word to describe it, but you get my drift

            steadygaze,

            Probably from his initial non-immigrant visa application years ago, Form DS-160 that asked about family members in the United States. If it wasn't that (if he then thought that family members he didn't like didn't count as family members), then it seems USCIS digs deeper than I expected

              Might be going off topic with this thread but obviously the IO had his suspicions from the get go. I have never heard of an interview where the first thing they do is separate you-not that i have heard it all. For the IO to immediately end interview and make the USC spouse sign a statement admitting to a sham marriage just because the petitioner has not told her about a "sibling" in OHIO is very strange. I think at the very least they need to consult a good attorney because i can only see this going south.

                That is what the FBI is for. They would investigate everything and do background check prior to USCIS interview. Not a surprise that they know about the sister even when it has not been included in the application.

                  Sorry to hear about your experience. When it comes to immigration you need to have full disclosure with your partner as an IO can ask anything. I can understand if your sister is no longer in your life but your partner should have been aware. I think there is more to this story than what's being told. Usually you are separated when there is some type of red flag for immigration. Sorry to say but being an adult means taking responsibility for your own actions, your partner should have read any documents she puts her name and signature to regardless if it's pertaining to immigration or not. You might have to do a stokes interview, make sure you each know as much about each other, your home and daily life as possible. Dont give up, Good Luck!!!

                          I think your wife intentionally set you up for failure. You probAbly did something wrong to your wife, and she's decided to get back at you on the day if interview. She probably called the office ahead of time to raise an alarm, and that's why they had to send you out to talk to her alone. Plus what food wife would just sign a document to incriminate her husband without knowing what it truly says, unless the marriage is a sham and she's trying to save herself and not get in trouble. This is just my opinion though, I hope everything works out for you fam.
