hi friends I'm back I was in Africa on
business and over the next few weeks I'm
gonna share with you some of the things
that I was involved in in Africa pretty
exciting stuff so what are we covering
in this video we're talking about the
Stokes interview the Stokes interview is
a second interview that immigration has
with husband and wife team who the
government suspected was involved in
some sort of marriage fraud so you don't
want to miss this one stay tuned for my
tips on how to prepare for the Stokes
interview okay friends so thank you for
commenting liking and sharing my videos
thank you also for subscribing to my
youtube channel as you can see it is
growing and it's growing because of you
please continue to share these videos
because you never know who needs this
information and if you have not yet
subscribed hit that subscriber button
let's dive right into it the Stokes
interview is the interview where fraud
is suspected by immigration it's an
interview whereby the government will
separate you and your partner and ask
the same questions to each of you and in
fact the officer is going to have a
sheet in front of him or her with a line
drawn down in the middle of the page
right
why is he or she doing that because on
the left side of the page they're going
to examine the answers that the wife had
given on the right side of the page
they're going to examine the responses
that the husband has given okay so
they're going to compare side-by-side
your responses and I've seen some of
these pages that the officers actually
prepare when they're interviewing
couples and the question it can get long
guys it can get really long you can they
could ask you up to a hundred questions
so you really want to prepare for this
one so the first thing that you don't
want to do is you don't want to guess
don't guess if you don't know the answer
to a question just simply say I don't
know I don't
I can I come back to that one okay don't
ever guess secondly you guys want to
drive or travel together to the
interview because there the officer may
ask you how did you get here and you
don't want to say oh I came by bus and
then your wife said oh we drove together
in the car I mean obviously in
circumstances like that fraud is at work
so if you're involved in a fraudulent
marriage it will come out in this
interview this video and other videos
that I've done is not intended to
promote your fraudulent relationship so
please don't watch this video if that's
what you're involved in this is only for
those with a true and genuine marriage
so you're gonna arrive together you want
to bring your house keys right bring
your house keys to their to the
interview next if for some reason you
don't remember something in particular
and your wife happened to remember it
it's okay when you guys come back
together for you to offer an explanation
for the wife to offer an explanation as
to why the husband may not have
remembered or known this fact or detail
it's okay to offer an explanation okay
at that point if things escalate let's
say for example the officer becomes
belligerent or very aggressive or nasty
not very nice it happens you could ask
for a supervisor to come in and sit in
and intervene you don't have to be
badgered during this interview and if
you have a lawyer with you on-site the
lawyer will intervene on your behalf as
well at the end of this meet and I'm
keeping this video very short I do have
more things to say but I may come out
with another video on this topic at the
end of this interview the officer will
give you a letter that's letting you
know that they've granted the green card
request or they're going to send a
request for additional evidence or
they're going to continue to adjudicate
this they're going to think about it
some more they're gonna analyze your
responses they do not want to make a
decision right then and there on the
spot so you're going to get some sort of
response at the very end so again the
Stokes interview is interview that
happens when immigration suspects fraud
and in your petition for a green
they suspect fraud so they're bringing
you guys back in for you to answer
questions about your life together
questions about your background
questions about your your petition for
the green card and basically they want
to see that you have a true genuine
marriage a marriage that was based on
love and only love so that's that those
are the tips that I want to give you in
this one friends again subscribe to this
