Waiting for a decision

[safroot 1]

Hi, I have been waiting to hear from CSC now for about 9 months now and i didn't hear anything. i applied on 12/05/07 sent in my application, the date on my NOA is 12/12/07 and i did my biometrics on 01/05/08 and i have been waiting since then. i'm starting to worry because while applying for removal of condition i was in the process of divorcing my wife, so i couldn't include the divorce decree with the application because divorce in California takes 6 months. now the divorce was finalized in june and i don't know if i should send in my divorce decree or not. i asked my lawyer and he said that we should wait until they ask for more evidence, because then we will have a Ref number where we can send the papers through.my lawyer also stated on the cover letter that me and my wife in the process of the divorce.

any one in the same situation?? or any ideas about what i should do?!!!!!!!

I would fire your lawyer. (or might have misunderstood your post and you have sent I-751 with waiver from the beginning). If not-

You need to send a new package ASAP with waiver and divorce decree. Do you realize that even if tomorrow you get approval on I-751, you cannot apply for citizenship. Your GC could be revoked at any time since I-751 would "approved" based on continous marriage. But if your divorce decree comes before I-751 approval-you think here...

You are just loosing time. CIS is going through court databases in some cases. Have your lawyer told you that the delay maybe caused because they got info that you are in divorce process according to court files? So, what are you waiting...???? Denial? Why not send a new I-751 with waiver? Are you sure that your lawyer is an immigration lawyer? The ref number you are talking is a number on your biometrics NOA. Your lawyer is waiting for RFE??? So, if you sent I-751 with waiver why not to send divorce decree. They need decree to finalize I-751.

I agree. If you have lawyer, give him the boot. Don't sit around waiting for an RFE, that's just ridiculous!

Right now you are just waiting to hear about a denial because what is written on your form is no longer valid, you are no longer married to the USC. You need to send in a waiver and let them know that your divorce is now final.

Thank you so much guys for the reply, the only reason why i wasn't worried is that we stated on the cover letter that me and my ex wife going through a divorce procedure and that as soon as the divorce is finalized we will send in the divorce paper. so when i asked my lawyer he told me that we should wait untill they ask for more evidence and he said that sometimes they ask to refile because of divorce sometimes they don't. so i think what i'm going to do is that i'm going to send in my divorce decree and wait and see what's going to happen next. what do you think? because i think i can't refile while having a pending application already with them, that would be two applications

I think thats a good idea. Make sure to include your A# and an explanation when you send it in.

Ok, so you did sent I-751 with waiver in the first place (but somehow I think that option became available only this summer on a new updated I-751 form-you can mark there that still married but separated; I am not sure but I think old forms had only married/divorced/widdow options; you check it if you sent I-751 with waiver or only on cover letter specified info).

I would go to other lawyer and ask second opinion.

Somehow, I had impression that I-751 with waiver is put on shelf till final divorce decree is available. Maybe your lawyers knows more and some get approved without decree. But you wrote that lawyer is waiting for denial and refile or approval. More sounds like it was regular I-751 without waiver. Because if you sent I-751 with waiver you dont need to refile-just need to send final divorce decree when available.

Anyway, it is confusing-maybe you misunderstood/maybe lawyer is not qualified. Once again if USBIS is not asking to refile and just approve your I-751 without waiver (which is probably not a case here because of cover letter and timing), you got a big problem on your hand. 10y GC could be revoked at any time since divorce came before approval.

Thank you for replying, yea i checked the I-751 that i filed and it turned out that i checked the option which says (I entered into the marriage in good faith but the marriage was terminated through divorce/annulment.) which is good :-). so i think i should send in my divorce decree. i don't know why my lawyer thinks that we should wait, i mean i have been waiting for 3 months now since the divorce was finalized and i haven't heard anything back yet. i also called the USCIS today and i placed an inquiery about my case as it's outside the normal processing time of CSC. so hopefully i will hear something soon. guys keep me in your prayers. thanks for your help

Man Man Listen!

Listen to your lawyer, not only is he educated in this, but he also handles many cases per year that pertain to your problem.

It's nice to have a forum where we can all discuss our journeys, but Don't listen to these people, Listen to your lawyer,

Or ask another lawyer, go see another lawyer and ask him or her, make sure it's a lawyer with experience, more likely than not, he has already seen a case like yours,

I believe you can appeal your case....

If your application to remove the conditions on your permanent residence is denied, you will receive a letter that will tell you why the application was denied. The process to remove you from the country will begin as soon as your application is denied. You will be allowed to have an immigration judge review the denial of your application during removal proceedings. During this review, the USCIS must prove that the facts on your application were untruthful and that your application was properly denied . If the immigration judge decides to remove you from the country, you may appeal this decision.

Generally, you may appeal within 33 days after the immigration judge decides to remove you from the country. After your appeal form and a required fee are processed, the appeal will be referred to the Board of Immigration Appeals in Washington, D.C. For more information, please see, How Do I Appeal?.
