   Answered January 04, 2013 17:57. My colleagues are correct. There will be an interview in a separate meeting months after biometricts. If you husband does not show up, then it is likely that USCIS will deny the I-130 petition and adjustment.
   
   There may be other options, but I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney.

   This is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.

Then you might be able to do an I-360 vawa petition for your greencard alleging abuse or inhumane treatment. You may need to see a psychitriast to have a report to add to the petition.
