Adjudication Interview (I-130 Family, I-485-emp based)


Recommended Posts

Hi Friends,

 
I would like to get your suggestion on my condition below. 
 
I have an employment based GC in progress (EB2, I-140 approved, I-485 filed few years back, EAD renewed two times, priority date could become current soon - Priority Date not current yet). I also have a family based immigration application (I-130) filed in 2011, (via parents, F1, I’m the daughter - over 21, unmarried, PD not current yet).
 
Recently, I received a letter from the USCIS for an “Abdjudication Interview”. The letter has details about my employment based file, and it has what appears like a generic list of documents that I should bring along. One of the document is the “Affidavit of Support”.
 
Here are my questions:
 
  1. What could be the reason for this interview - is it common for EB2, employment based cases ? or is it due to both type of applications in parallel ?
  2. Based on my understanding, for employment based GC, the affidavit of support is not required. Why am I asked for this affidavit of Support ? Could it be due to the family based petition ? Or it could be a generic list sent to all.
  3. My parents do not have any income and did not file I-864 with original application I-130 (retired past 5 years). However, since I live with them since past 10 years (same household), can I file I-864A so that my income can be included for sponsorship (as an intended immigration clause)
  4. I have completed 40 credits as per the SSA rule - that should technically qualify me for exemption from any type of affidavit of support. Is it possible to do that ? If yes, do I need to show any documentation from SSA ?
  5. Are there any chances that conditions from #3 and #4 above is not applicable (I-864A, or exemption I-864w) ? Do my parents need any joint sponsor ?
 
 
Many thanks - your response will help me greatly. My interview is late next week, and your prompt response would be of tremendous help !
 
Thanks,
Nrupa.
