What happens if I don't go to the green card interview ? Will I be banned from the States for 10 years ?

Question

I filed to adjust my status and become a permanent resident in the US when I got married last April (my husband is a US citizen). Lately, my husband has become more and more distant and spends a lot of time drinking beer with his friends or playing videogames. I'm unhappy with him and it seems like a divorce is the only solution even though I'm still in love with him. At the moment, I feel like I want a clean break from him, so I decided to go back to France (where I'd been living for 15 years) and put together the pieces of my life. Yet, I still have a lot of stuff here and I cannot bring it back at one time : I will need to come back. I cannot simply mail it to France cos I don't have a place of my own since I sold my apartment when I moved to the States and I will be staying for awhile at my ex-husband's, but it's just temporary.

I was told that if I don't show up at the interview, I will be suspected of green card fraud and I won't be able to come back to the States - even as a visitor - for 10 years. Is that possible ? Or is it BS ?

Answer 1

It's technically true.  That's the way the green card works, and from a stable and well-documented country like France, they can do it too.  

Answer 2

Go to the interview, or face the consequences.

Answer 3

Answer 4

women like you usually work it out by the fifth husband. It is around that time that they realize nobody is perfect.  

Answer 5

Go to the interview or don't plan on coming back to The States.

Why would you not show up for the interview?  If you want all your belongings,shipped back to France(at a later date),do what YOU,have to do to insure that!
