Nordica · October 27, 2010

Good luck with your RFE, I hope you'll see an approval soon!

CHANCE2BHAPPY · October 30, 2010

Hi Everyone!

Please add me!

October 2005 Started to date

October 2007 Got Married

February 2008 CR-1 Visa Approved

March 2008 Conditional Greencard Received

29 March 2010 Gor Divorced

23Mar2010 Filed Waiver to California.

(Never received NOA stating my greencard is extended 1 year - I think My Ex took it since we were still living in the same house)

30Apr2010 Biometrics

10Aug2010 InfoPass Appointment - Got I-551 on passport

-Went oversea for 1 week-

01Sep2010 Immigration Officer stopped me at the airport for 3 hours. IO asked me about bunch of questions about why I am not married anymore. I told him I got divorced and sent all the evidence to USCIS thru my lawyer. I got emotional and cried because it was hard for me to remember and tell story to someone because I loved him and he treated me bad. IO let me go after long conversation.

-Went oversea for 2 weeks-

19Oct2010 Immigration Officer stopped me at airport again for an hour. They did not ask any questions and let me go. They said my status is still pending so we'll see...

Seems like my ex told something bad about me to immigration, but I have evidence to proof our marriage was not fake. I did nothing wrong but he did, but since he has so much pride, he talked to immigration? I don't know. At least, I did nothing wrong!!!

I sent...

-2 Affadavid from my friends

-Joint tax return proof

-Military Housing Lease Agreement (Both of our names on it)

-Copy of TRO

-Pictures of our wedding etc...

-Pictures of out trip to his hometown

-Pictures of his girlfriend (He was cheating/engaged to that girl!!!)

-Copy of emails that he was sending to his girlfriendS!!

-Joint bank account statement

It's been over 6months and I am so worried.

My status on USCIS website is still Initial Review.

What should I do now?

@chance2bhappy

Go to the interview with your lawyer. Be calm and relaxed. Almost all of them are good people at the interview site. Discuss your case with the lawyer 1 day before you go. Be prepared with your answers. Tell the truth and just the truth. They called you just to verify the facts that you mentioned in your i-751 and to see you. I have been through this last month. They WILL approve you if you have a genuine case. Don't worry if your ex might have complained about you. All angry and vindictive ex do that. Take it easy. 2 things can happen:

1. If you get approved, they will tell you or they will tell you to wait for the answer in the mail. You will get approved believe me.

2. If you don't get approved, they will start deportation proceedings. You can still appeal. But in your case, I don't see this happening since your marriage looks genuine.

Let us know what happened in the interview. All the best.

Aloha All,

I went to interview yesterday and I don't feel good.

I have waited with my lawyer about 10mins to be called in, and interviewer was Mid-age gentleman.

We went over Statement that my lawyer sent with petition which has my signature on it. He was just making sure about timeline of what has happened to me and my ex-husband. I got emotional and cried once because it still hurts remembering what I have been thru, but seems like interviewer didn't care. He asked me "Do you have a boyfriend now?" and I said "Yes". He asked "What is his name?" Since I can not lie, I told him my boyfriend's name. He asked "How long are you dating?" I said "1 month now". He said "Is that the first boyfriend since you got divorced?" I said "Yes". I was feeing weird but since I did oath and can't lie, I told him the truth. AND, the last question made me so sure that it's taking long time to get greencard. He asked me "Do you know XXXX?(My friend's name)" I said "Yes" He asked "What's your relationship with him?" I said "Friends. We used to work together in the same office and he is like my brother. We verbaly flirt but nothing physical. We talk about each other's love life and if we have problem with each other's bf/gf we ask for opinion for what to do. I know my ex-husband was always jealous of him and kept asking about him but we are just friends" He said "OK". The reason why interviewer asked me this question about me and him is, my ex-husband thinks that I cheated on him with him. From this question, I got sure that my ex-husband is contacting immigration office.

He didn't tell me if I got approved or not. He told me to wait. My lawyer said I should get approved so don't worry. But I am sooooo worried since my ex-husband is trying to disturb. I don't know what to do now. I am so worried. I did nothing wrong, my ex-husband cheated on me, not only once, and he is trying to give me a hard time. I really really hope it gets approved.

Please pray for me.

Do you have evidence, or did you submit evidence regarding your husband cheating on you? If yes, then it is normal for a person to move on with their life at a certain point, find a new boyfriend, and basically start again. I agree with you that the IOs probably do not care if the person sitting infront of them is crying or not, since many people can use that as a tactic to get sympathy from the IO and cause their feelings to interfere with the facts and the decision... the questions, though seem a bit weird, but they are totally understandable. Keep in mind that they also know that USC spouses could try to retaliate so I think they will be able to see right through your husband's information that he is providing them. Normally, any person would feel hurt and try to cause damage to the other and end up contacting USCIS - so I wouldn't worry about it. I think you did the best thing and told the truth to the IO. They can see that and they will consider that as a sign of faithfulness and honesty in you.

stay positive and cheer up!!!
