advice on citizenship

[breadedVirus 0]

I've been told i worry too much, but sending off my N-400 is nerve racking.

Conditional GC 05-07 permanent GC 2008-2018

I came to the US in Feb 04. Met my wife about 2 years before. We got married in April that year, but she then divorced me in 2008. Her parents didn't like me, so paid for the divorce, without my knowledge. I tried to save marriage, but to no avail.

She and family emptied our entire house along with all my immigration paperwork and documents proving marriage was entered in good faith. I have proof that i tried to save the marriage and a few documents including tax transcripts. I'm remarried and never been in trouble with the law, paid all taxes etc.

What would be my chances of getting denied my N-400? Should i seek legal advice?

Based on the information you have provided, I would say no.. no lawyer needed. You will be filing under the 5-year option, which does not require any proof of an ongoing relationship etc. I THINK you will need a copy of your divorce paperwork though. So my advice is also to stop worrying, which I know is pretty much impossible.

Did you file for I-751 jointly or via a waiver? And if jointly, was it approved before or after divorce was filed/finalized? This makes a HUGE difference..

10 GC was approved on the 31/3/2008. Divorce was finalised (received divorce decree) soon after...i think.

Filed I-751 jointly.

We filed jointly, yet she filed for divorce just before my 10 GC was approved.

Whom did you remarry? A US citizen or a person from your home country. Even for the 5 year, have to provide this information on the form and may be asked for evidence. Depends on your IO, you did come here via marriage to a US citizen, ended up in divorced, and did remarry, they might want to know why and to whom.

I remarried a US citizen, but we have only been married a year. We have known each other for 4 years. My intention was not to skip immigration laws, as i gave up a lot for my ex wife.

My wife divorced me, because her family thought she could do better. It very clear as to that through the texts and emails she sent me.

I'm getting legal advice, just to be on the safe side.

Since you are applying after 5 years of residency, nobody cares about your marital problems of the past decade.

[NickD 203]

USCIS certainly does, in particular if the application for a divorce occurred during the I-751 processing without reapplying for a waiver. Hopefully remarried to a US citizen would alleviate that problem.

A lots depends upon your IO, that is where you need good luck.

I sent off a waiver which included a copy of my divorce decree and evidence to prove the marriage was entered in good faith... They sent the entire application plus money order back.

Without any explanation?

Without any explanation?

By the time they received my waiver, my GC had already been approved and the card had been mailed out.

That's basically what was stated in the letter...it was 5 years ago, so not exactly sure about the wording of it.

I got divorce papers at the beginning of March 08 and by the time i sent off my waiver i received my 10 GC. Shortly after getting my card, i had my waiver sent back including money order.
