It is a fraudualnt marrige if they go threw with the aos, period. They are going to lie about the marriage working. I dont wanna sound mean but this is why it's so hard for people like us with good intentions to be with our loved ones. There are other means to enter the US legally. Don't ruin it for the rest of us.

From the many interviews described on VJ, I don't recall USCIS asking you -- is your marriage working? Is it falling apart? Adjudicators are not marriage consellors, they just need to establish the validity of the marriage (through supporting documents), not what you may do next. However, if the USC spouse does not cooperate at the interview, then it will be clear to the officer that there are problems. And what they may do, I don't know.

09-02-2005 Applications for AOS, EAD, and AP received by MSC

10-21-2005 AOS fingerprint notice for 12-08-2005

11-07-2005 AP approved

12-05-2005 Infopass appt at San Jose office for interim EAD -- Refused, because it is already approved by MSC on 11-07-2005

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

12-15-2005 EAD arrived in the mail

12-24-2005 Received interview letter; interview scheduled 03-01-2006

Amancd:

You do not have a fraudulent marriage no matter what someone on this forum may say. Here is the example of a fraudulent marriage - a Canadian friend of mine from work told me about how he got his green card - he asked a girl in his school to marry him and help him get the Green card for $500 (this was in the late 70's/early 80's.) She did and he got his green card.

You have a marriage that may be on shaky ground - you do not have a fraudulent marriage nor have you committed immigration fraud by any stretch of imagination. I would suggest you try to work it out and do your AOS and we hope and pray that everything works out for you. I mean everything not just the AOS but the marriage also.

Good Luck

By the way for those of you that are curious - those two liked each other enough to stay married even after 10 years (that's when I met them!) and I assume they are still married. They had fraudulent intent and they carried it out but their marriage worked in the end!

The whole point is to be with your husband or wife. The reason the process is so long is to avoid people faking marriages and yes if they think it's not gonna work then I say it's fake. IF it's culture shock or the marriage isnt working then this process is probly not for you. That's just my opnion. Marriage as of late is taken way too lightly.

My opinion....

It has been 7 months since I have tied the knot with Anton, We have our ups and downs, I have wanted to leave him, but we have worked it out after a good night's sleep it looks better in the morning. There are things I don't agree with him on, but a marriage needs to be worked on and it isn't an easy thing. You never did say how long you have been married, what you basically think is wrong with the marriage.

Do you still love him? Does he love you? Do you visualize yourself growing old with this person or would you rather search the personals or internet for someone else.

If you can answer yes to the above questions continue with the interview. If you think this is not mister right, you do not feel committed to the relationship, you feel like you want to search elsewhere. Get out, go home , clear your mind and start over again.

Life is a rollercoaster its either going up waiting for the plunge or screaming and holding on for dear life.

We are on this rollercoaster ride together holding on for dear life.

I have my AOS marriage interview coming up and I have some questions.

The marriage has not been good (we don't get along anymore) and I worry that I may be denied (not enough documentation, bad feeling, etc.).

If we go through with the interview and I am not approved, what happens next? Another interview? Denial? Fraud?

If they want another interview/more info and we don't show go through with it, what can happen? Denial? Fraud? Would I ever be able to reapply again whether it is with my current husband (if we work things out, etc.) or if I leave him and maybe one day marry another USC? Would I be banned/barred because I didn't go to the second interview?

Please any advice would help...it has been so hard for me lately,

Thank you very much

The regulations call for the intent upon entering a marriage to be bona fide and that the marriage is subsisting at the point of AOS. If there is no legal separation, if the couple is residing together, it doesn't matter if the marriage is on shaky ground, that is, as long as the petitioner is still willing to provide the I-864. Without it the regulations will not permit an approval. If you are denied adjustment on the basis of failure to demonstrate the bona fides of marriage, there is an option to appeal, so long as you did not enter the country on VWP (doing so you waive any right to an appeal). In the event that while you are in the appeal process your marriage terminates, and you lose the appeal, then if you came to the country on a K-1 you'd be required to find another means to adjust than through marriage. By the way, to the nay-sayers, a denial of AOS is not the same as a finding of fraud. :)

Here is more info. We will be married 2 years in July. I came on a tourist visa and was an overstay.

For those of you who already passed judgment on me...the marriage was entered in love, nothing fraudulent.

Thanks for the marriage advice but I would really appreciate it you guys can help me with some of my questions that I had in my original post (fraud, denial, removal, etc)

Thanks again for reading/helping.

I agree with the above. Just because they are having a rocky marriage, why does that mean they shouldn't be going through with the AOS? Just because it's rocky doesn't mean it's ending. If they both entered it with the right intentions and good will, not as fraud, then well then lol .... i don't know.

The problem is that even though they haven't made it to the interview yet, nor divorced, she's already asking how things would look to the 'CIS if she remarries another USC and tries to adjust, this time through him.

Thanks for the marriage advice but I would really appreciate it you guys can help me with some of my questions that I had in my original post (fraud, denial, removal, etc.).

And then, here she is, more worried about her immigration questions than the marriage advice some gave.

Seems kind of shady to me.

Let me give you an advice. Think about what you feel about this marriage. If you feel that you wouldn't last for 2 years anyway, don't go thru with it. This is not the old times anymore that once you get your green card, you are off the hook. It is only a conditional green card. Once the two years is up, you have to prove that you are still together and lived together during those times. If not, it will be revoked and you will go back to your country. I sure hope you are not using this situation only to get a green card because your posts are just focusing on that. And don't think of marrying another US citizen right away to save you from that. If this forum detected something fishy already about the situation, what more of the immigration. Just my opinion. Think about this.

Here is more info. We will be married 2 years in July. I came on a tourist visa and was an overstay.

question, if you are already married for two years, how come you are only applying for a change in status now? An also, you said in your original post that you don't have enough documents to support your application? How come? I have only been married for 8 mos and we already have all the documentations that they need. Were you not living together those two years?

dmartmar always has to put his stupid ideas over here. Damn I hate you!!

Anyways, she HAS problems with her marriage not a damn fraud like your wife did. I'm sorry if you were a "victim" of a marriage fraud and I'm sorry to inform you thta not everybody is like your ex wife my dear. Nobody cares about your problems. Go bring your problems somewhere else. This is a web site about IMMIGRATION not about your stupid marriage advice. People suffer and you always have to be here. Im wondering what the people in charge of this web site are waiting to kick u out of here. I am tired of you insulting ppl. Keep you damn mouth shut u damn #######.

Now to the OP. Just go to the interview, dont u worry about. They can see the proof but they cant reda your mind remember that.

Good Luck all my best to you guys (F)

Is the OP (amancd) and the poster Lorenzo (a bit further down in the thread) the couple in question here? Or am i just over-reading?

IF it's culture shock or the marriage isnt working then this process is probly not for you. That's just my opnion....

Tuneses, as you said, it's just your opinion. But in my opinion, culture shock IS an unfortunate part of this process and doesn't mean that the marriage isn't valid or that the love isn't there. I think you meant well though. It's just a difference of opinion.

Seems kind of shady to me.

dmartmar, I hope someday things get better for you. I really do. It's a shame that all we hear from you is negativity.

Keep you damn mouth shut u damn #######.

maria, you've got one hell of a temper and a mouth on you, girlie.
