divorced decree?

[BinhJerome 14]

Beside divorced decree, what else need to prove that there is no relationship with the exwife? It seems like johncali9 need to prove more. It is so hard but you can get pink though.

[L179 1]

i believe it is sufficient

When my wife had her interview she was denied the first interview, because they wanted more proof that me and my ex wife were not still together. So I sent her a Utility bill from my ex wife showing that she lives at a different adress than us. Also got a photocopy of her drivers license, and marriage certificate (she remarried). At that time my ex wife and I were getting along and she was willing to help. Hopefully you are in the same situation.

I was initially given the impression that HCM is more interested in the ex-husband of the beneficiary than in the ex-wife of the petitioner. Apparently, it's a pretty common scam for VN girls to divorce their VN husband, marry an American, get their citizenship in 3 years, divorce the American husband, and then petition for the original VN husband. With good timing, this scam can get an entire VN family to the US legally in about 5 years.

It's now becoming clear that they are also suspicious of divorce by the petitioner. I assume they're looking for a variation on the same scam, where petitioner is divorcing just to be available to petition for the VN girl, and planning on divorcing after she establishes residence and reuniting with the previous wife.

Ok, whatever the case, what's the common thread here? When the petitioner is divorced, it seems that they sometimes ask for proof of residence for the ex-wife, and sometimes they do not. What triggers this? Is it because the petitioner was divorced from the ex-wife after being introduced to the VN beneficiary? What if the petitioner was divorced years before being introduced to the VN girl?

I ask this because I might have a hard time proving where my ex-wife currently lives. I was divorced 3 years before I was introduced to my fiancee. My ex-wife is currently in prison (yeah, I know...) for violating probation on drug charges (the drugs were the reason for the divorce). She's expected to be released a couple of months before I'm anticipating my fiancee's interview. I have no idea where my ex-wife will be living when she gets out of prison, but I'm guessing probably with her parents, about 350 miles from where I live. She doesn't get any bills (that I'm aware of) at that address, and doesn't pay rent. Because of her drug problem she also has a tendency to drift, so sometimes a few months will go by where nobody knows where she is. If they ask for proof of her residence I have no idea what I could provide.

L179 This may be the case at other Consulates, but NOT HCMC.

The USC should be prepared to show proof that the ex no longer resides with them. This can be a notarized affidavit from ex, bills showing different addresses, if ex owns a home the tax role for ex.anything that shows the ex somewhere else than where you live... The fact that they asked John for it was actually expected... as the rest of us that have exwives going through HCMC expect the request.

The timeline for his ex was a special situation... unless your ex came from VN as a K1 you wont likely see that request.

Not to hijack the thread but my first wife (sons mother) is in same situation as your ex... she send him letters so I have them as proof that she does not live with us. I think the fact that yours was so long ago they wont question.

I think those which are getting the request for proof of residence are those like Roger and John and 4 sure me.. that are very recently divorced.

Did John say they needed a timeline for his ex?...or just a timeline and info about his ex? I would recommend showing evidence that proves that the petitioner and the ex lived apart from well before the petition until current time. As Jim notes, you are trying to prove that you are not scamming them with a fake divorce.

I also produced a notarized letter from me that gave my address for the last 10 years, along with my ex-wife's address for the last 10 years, her SSN, DOB, city/state of birth, phone number and e-mail address. I was trying to show them that I would welcome them to contact her by any means possible if they so choose. Attached to that I had bills from past and current showing my name/address and similar bills past and current showing her name/address. If you have nothing to hide, why not give them everything?

I think so but it was a special circumstance because ex was K1... I will have as much documentation showing ex is just that an ex...

I was married to a Korean babe I brought over many years ago and had been divorced for 15 years when the interview was going to happen. They never asked me about her as it had been so long ago. It seems only to the ones that had been recently divorced. There are some threads that I remember from others that had been asked also and had to prove and even one or two that could not find the ex wife no matter how much they tried and one of them could not get the ex wife to help out but were able to still get the visa by making an timeline of the search tried and the negative results and an affidavit notarized. Of course this was awhile back I read this so I may be mistaken but wanted to explain that it is possible to still get the visa.
