Separation Before Interview for Immigration
Hello, I need some advice on my situation.
I was married in 2002 ( our son was born 2001) we applied I-130 AND I-485 in 2002. I already had my biometrics and interview in 2004. I since moved out of New York to CT and transferred my case over. My husband and I have now separated (not legally) still married.
DHS sent me another fingerprinting appt in which i went to and has now sent me for another interview next month(Sept)
My questions are...
How many times do i need to get fingerprinted and interviewed?
I've done this last year in Long Ilsand City,NY ( i have all paper work showing i did this already)
Should i bother going into this interview since I'm now separated (for 5 months)? And if so, will i get into problems? We are still married and have a 4 yr old son together. We dont know if we will get back together ...
And if not, what are my next options to stay here legally with my child? can they deport me with my US born son if i withdraw my application?
Please help since my interview is in 2 weeks.
Thank you

They should only need one biometrics appointment; but if you are unwilling or unable to get them to confirm the prior session it is better to get fingerprinted more than once than to risk having your application for immigration deemed abandoned.

If you wish to immigrate, you should of course attend your appointments.

If you abandon your immigration status, and have no other legal basis to be in the country but choose to remain illegally, you would be subject to deportation. I am not sure why you would do that, though.
You would benefit from discussing your situation with an immigration lawyer in advance of your scheduled interview.
separated from my husband, should i still go for interview?
I don't want to brake any laws.
My husband and I separated after 3 years of marriage and DHS mailed us another interview appt. (next month.) The problem is...
We do not live together anymore, He is not very happy to accompany me to this interview. What can happen if we show up for the sake of just ending this Immigration situation? We have a 4 year old son and last year we claimed separate taxes, will that be a problem?
I dont know what to do. We are still legally married and my appt. is coming up soon.
HELP!
Should i go without him, with him? Should i just abandon this application (i485)?
Again, I Dont want to brake any laws.
