HOMOSEXUALITY GREEN CARD DIVORCE

[cujodu 15]

In Jordan homophobia and hate crimes against gays are rampant. Jordan is an Islamic country, and it is illegal to be gay. It sounds to me(my opinion and I'm not homophobic) that you want to come back to the US because you know it isn't safe in Jordan for an openly gay person. Don't be surprised if the USCIS sees it this way as well.

Under those circumstances they could also see it as an asylum case. You should probably talk to an immigration attorney.

Hello,

Well, my marriage to a U.S. citizen was a bona fide. The reason of my divorce was because of my sexual orientation. I'm a bisexual. Before my marriage every thing was perfect between us but after marriage progressively I discovered that I'm more gay and can't be like any straight to continue my life with her. It was difficult for me, it couldn't be obvious till after marriage. Now, I'm still in my country: I came back after divorce bc I was depressed. I've been in my country for 2 months. I want to go back to the U.S. and remove the conditions. I'm now satisfied that I'm gay and consider my marriage as a bad experience for me. But it's not the end of the world! Is it ok to explain the reason of my divorce to the immigration? That's exactly what happened. But I'm afraid that they would be homophobic and wouldn't feel what I was going through. My marriage was a bona fide but after...

Thanks for any opinion!

Gay or not, from a humane standpoint.. get out of that country as soon as you can before they try to kill you.. figure oout the rest later.. Get out ASap please

When it comes to immigraton... it seems that if people don't qualify under the law for a greencard, they can always go with VAWA or asylum (political, religious, now sexual orientation, etc).

I have always wondered why the US is always the one taking in these asylum cases. Why can't they go to any of the other hundreds of countries, if they can't stay in their own country?

Canada, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand (plus many others I'm sure) take in huge amounts of asylum seekers. It's not just the U.S. that is so generous to take care of disadvantaged people from other parts of the world.

It seems like it's gonna be complicated. I don't know what to do!

If I tell the truth they won't believe me!

They may not even care why the marriage ended. You don't need to volunteer that information, but don't lie if its asked. But you need proof of a valid marriage to remove conditions the same as anyone does, and that takes evidence. Evidence you currently appear to be short on. Start digging up evidence of a real marriage.

I agree with the last post. If they don't ask, don't offer the info. If they do ask (and they probably will at the interview), don't lie. If you get caught in a lie, you may get banned for life.

Home of the brave? Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door? Something like that?

Since the divorce is finalized,

if you want to remove conditions,

you are required to file the ROC paperwork ASAP.

Reason for divorce not matter when filing.

What does matter, is to show proof of bonafide marriage per the ROC instructions.

That's it, that's all.

Oh, must to be in USA to file...

Under those circumstances they could also see it as an asylum case. You should probably talk to an immigration attorney.

Well, the cool bits, for the OP,

is that he still has a valid green card, and

he can jump on the plane back to the USA on Thursday

without having to worry about asylum.

Yeah I have evidence but not a lot. That's normal because we didn't stay long time together.

If they need a letter from her proving that we entered the marriage in good faith, I will ask her to write me one.

I'm not in contact with her since our divorce though, that'll be hard on me to ask her such stuff!

Should I ask the bank where we had a common account for a letter stating that it is true in any branch of the bank

or in the same branch in her area. I have to know every thing before I leave. I hope things go smoothly!!

Sam90, if you do contact her, be sure to tell her you understand why she is upset and might not want to help you, but explain that you are simply not free to be yourself in Jordan. Explain that you might not even be safe. Hopefully she would be willing to help you on those grounds.

Yeah I'll see what happens.

Question

Will my homosexuality affect me removing conditions on my green card after divorce>?

Before I got married I thought I could be like any normal straight guy I can make a family and satisfy our sexual needs

but that didn't work. There were several problems which ended us by the divorce. After the divorce I got really depressed. Now I want to remove conditions on my GC will that be an issue for the USCIS or not. I assume now I'm gay and want to be protected by the LGBT associations in America. Can I demand for asylum if I get denied???

Thanks

I don't see what your sexuality has to do with anything. The question the USCIS will be asking is "was this marriage entered into genuinely?". If yes, no problem. If no, then you have issues.
