Ms. N had been married twice before and filed an asylum (BH) application many years ago that has never been decided. Her spouse had also been married twice, making this the third marriage for both. They had not known each other long, and their English was limited.

A complicated marital history, a pending asylum case, and a language barrier, along with an unfriendly interviewing officer.

Thorough preparation of both the materials and the couple's mindset. Even though the interview experience was unpleasant, they answered every question fully.

Green card approved 10 days after the interview.
