Hello Friends:

QuickQuestion, I've sent 2 Withdrwal letters in the last 4 weeks, with no reply from USCIS yet. Is this normal. CRIS still says "Case recieved and pending". Anyone have any ideas?

Also, how common is it for a Beneficiary to recieve a Green Card without an interview. Is it even possible?

Thanks!

no, the beneficiary cannot get a green card without interviewing, moving here, marrying the petitioner, etc. its a long process n there is no way they can get one at this stage.

Not sure about the letter to the uscis. i know they are pretty slow, but if you want reassurance, call them n speak to someone.

ALSO:

.

I did make an infopass appointment, and the IO told me that USCIS knows something is wrong because the beneficiary changed her address. Is this true? Also, what is the nest way to inform USCIS of marriage fraud on part of the Beneficiary before she obtains green card and im on hook for sponsorship.

If you have withdrew your sponsorship prior to the AOS being approved, you are not on the "hook" for it.

Be sure to keep all copies of correspondence with USCIS, with dates/times submitted (keep a journal). Also - anything you sent should of been with return receipt to show you submitted it in a timely manner.

Best way to inform them for fraud? Notarized deposition sent to them about what you think is happening. You may want to inquire to a lawyer.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

You may also want to make an infopass appointment and tell a USCIS officer in person that you are withdrawing your sponsorship. Bring copies of the documents you submitted already for withdrawal - that way you can be further sure that they actually have the information at hand and don't proceed on the application. You might want to hand in your notarized deposition at the same time.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Are Local USCIS offices allowed to stop certain cases or maybe put a red flag attached to them?

Just be patient. I sent my withdrawal letter in mid-March and I received the letter acknowledging my I-130 was withdrawn on April 3rd. So it could take several weeks, maybe more. Mine went to Lee's Summter, MO where my wives AOS was being processed.

A few weeks after receiving the letter USCIS, I made an infopass appointment and appeared at the local USCIS office and reported my situation to them too...my wives red flags for immigration marriage fraud, her continuing to be here out-of-status and also working illegally, amongst other things. They took some stuff down, and they sent me right next door to the I.C.E. office where they made a huge report on everything my wife has done, and is still doing. Now she still continues to stay here and works illegally even though she knows that she is under investigation.

I am not sure if you have an ICE office next to your local USCIS office, but thats how I was directed to go about things. If you think you are a victim of immigration marriage fraud, then dont hesitate to report it. Protect yourself by any means, and keep records and copies of all documents and files.

First I want to know why you married a person knowing he is an alien, and then filed an application immediately. What was the rush?

Another question, What is your rush for USCIS response? The USCIS will find a way to deny his future green card applications. Based on your withdrawal of his 130, it is enough reason for USCIS to deny his future green card applications. The USCIS keeps a record of everything submitted, provided there is an alien number,case number.

I think ICE only goes after illegals who have criminal records. If she gets arrested, ICE will have a reason to go after her. OTOH, ICE may be building up a case, and will go after her when they have a strong case. Due process must be respected.

I never married a person who was an alien, i petitioned for her with a k1 visa. after i applied for AOS she made a total 180, she left, and i filed for divorce.

My fiance and I actually withdrew our first K1 petition because we thought we would marry in South Africa. Turns out our family could not make the trip so we decided to refile the K1 and get married later in the States. My withdrawal letter was placed in my file but the USCIS website never indicated it was received until they began looking at my case. It goes through the normal process and when they look at your file to grant or approve your petition, they will see your withdrawal. At that point you will receive a notice stating that your withdrawal has been noted, that your case has been closed and you reserve the right to refile at a later time. I received an e-mail of the letter and it was noted on the USCIS website. It took 4 months and 10 days from my NOA1, the same time frame as it would have taken to receive my NOA2. About a week later I received the actual hard copy of the withdrawal notice.

Keep the physical copy because if you ever refile, you will be asked to explain why you withdrew and to provide all documents pertaining to your withdrawal.

Good Luck,

Dionne
