I need advice helping my ex-wife RFE to remove conditions of GC

[quiet hmbre 0]

My story really does not have the happy ending I thought we would have when I pursued this visa journey.

I am an american male who met my now ex-wife on vacation in Cartagena Colombia. I fell in love and we began a long distance relationship from the US to Colombia.

Finally I petitioned for my Colombian lady, her 2 children 18 & 19 under the K1 visa program.

My lady and children arrived in the US in August 2009 and we were married September 2009. I have children from a previous marriage including a daughter who is technically my step daughter and has a different last name than me. I love my children and am committed to maintaining a good relationship with my children.

The marriage has been extremely tumultuous, with major problems between my ex-wife and my step daughter. My wife just refused to accept the validity of my relationship with my daughter and did everything in her power to prevent me from having a relationship with my daughter. This was the major issue of our marriage, the situation was so bad I had to separate and move out of our marital residence and file for divorce. The divorce was granted November 2012.

My ex-wife and her 2 children received their conditional green cards February 2011 and I helped file the forms and put together documents to remvove the conditions of the green cards February 2013.

Immigration has sent a RFE with some troubling language: although I stated that we are divorced, that the marriage was entered into good faith and that we love each other but that as a family unit our marriage did not work out, I also stated that for the entire time of our marriage we lived in the same house.

The RFE wants additional evidence that we married in good faith and that we continue to share a life together.The RFE also wants evidence of our commingly of finances and joint responsibility for financial obligations. From the start of our marriage it was evident my wife and I have very different attitudes towards money and we did not have a joint bank account. For most of the first year my ex was in the US she did not have her work authorization and could not work and then when she did work her work skills were only sufficient for minimum wage positions. I was responsible for all the bills but both of our names appeared on the utilities and housing leases, car insurance and I provided health care through my employers for everyone.

In light of these circumstances can you please provide some advice as to how to successfully respond to this RFE?

Thank you!

Thank you!

sounds like you answered the financial piece of the rfe already .. I don't have any answers for you about the additional evidence that you continue to share a life together.. that sounds like a tough one

I believe is she is divorced you have to file the waiver also. Since that wasn't done they think you are still married and are filing to remove conditions jointly.

Can you elaborate about the waiver? I filed the I-751 form on behalf of my ex-spouse checking the box the marriage was entered into in good faith but has ended due to divorce ,am I also supposed to file form I-751, but on my behalf? What is the form # for the waiver I also need to file?

Thank you very much for the guidance!

The immigrant files the ROC, not you.

You filed it as the USC?

The I-751 was filed on behalf of the immigrant, I merely completed the forms.
