N-400 Part 8.G.2. question

[jennk55112 0]

I have one question regarding the N-400 form on Part 8.G.2. My Husband's ex-wife was from Costa Rica but he didn't file for petition for her because they got divorced (divorce was filed and approved here in the USA). What should I put on her immigration status? I called up the USCIS but the lady I talked to can't answer my question and advised me to ask an immigration lawyer or a form preparer which we really don't want to spend money on for just one question.

If she is still in Costa Rica, and never sought to immigrate to the US, then the answer would be "none". If she is in the US, ask your husband, ask her, make your best guess, or answer "unknown".

"Other"

We checked "Other" then typed in "None, Colombian" on your spouses ex, country where that ex is living. Really ironic that people working for the USCIS doesn't know how to answer these questions. Or in your case, none, "Costa Rica" for your spouse.

Mom always told when dumped on this earth, had a one word vocabulary, "WHY"? With the N-400, was no such thing as ROC before 1988, and no such thing as a LPR status before 1927. We already been through all this before, how in the hell did you get your green card?

But for some odd reason, the N-400 was never updated, use to just come here, was admitted, then had the opportunity to become a USC without all this other stuff. But the N-400 doesn't reflect these changes, so we end up stating the same stuff we already have done twice before.

Worse thing that happened to us and others is to be told to supply evidence that is not even listed as a requirement. They kind of make up the rules as they go along. And this was after we supplied "ALL" of the requested evidence.

You also need to supply your spouses divorce papers for that ex, original court records, again, but just send in all copies of that with your application.

Thanks for all the responses. We will mail in copies of their divorce papers which we already have submitted more than 2x in the past (with I-129F, AOS and I-751). I am imagining the USCIS must have "a ton" of copies of my husband's divorce papers now. ;-)

if you ever served in the military in this country, wasn't a good idea to ask "why", you just did whatever you were told without question. USCIS is pretty much the same way.

Since you mentioned Costa Rica, the only requirement for moving and living there is to show a guaranteed income of $1,000.00 per month. LOL, its not that I have been looking into other countries to live in where there is some freedom left. Or maybe it is.
