NOW THIS IS VERY CONFUSING

[Blueberry Pancake 311]

oh already on spousal visa and I jut sent in the AOS package yesterday,waiting on the next step which I believe is the DS-260 stage which is where I would be needing as much clarity as possible when ticking one of the boxes that takes about ineligibiliy

Wait, are you still in the U.S.?

Na wa o, abi. You still aren't understnding this. Adjustment of Status are for those in the country. You are not. You don't qualifiy. A plain old I-130 is what your wife needs to file nothing else.

Tell me did USCIS approve the I-130 or the I-485 also? Don't get too excited they think you are in the US. Thats why you need a waiver dear to get back in the country.

Please see a lawyer, Abeg.

I think he might be referring to AOS (affidavit of support). Problem is it looks like you are chasing a green card not a wife. Expect a lot of scrutiny at the interview. Make sure you have a ton of evidence. When was the last time your wife visited you?

she is visiting in 2 weeks.we had stayed together in the us for 6years .also when my I-130 was re-opened and reapproved,it came under the heading re-affirmed which simply ,means I couldnt be denied under the same reason they denied me at 1st(accused of marital fraud)

Wait, are you still in the U.S.?

No i am not in the US,I voluntarily departed about 2-3 months ago

Got this update today

On August 23, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

what do I have to do after this?

Now you wait for your interview date. You can call DOS in a week or two and call now and than just to stay on top of it. Usually is about 2 to 4 months maybe wait.

Congratulations on the re-affirm.

thats what you had typed when i had initially stated the whole scenario about a month ago

What??

Curious on the timing...you entered the US in October of 2006 and your divorce was final in January of 2007, and you remarried the next month? I was under the impression divorces take a minimum of six months to be final (depends upon the state). Also, the fact that you remarried a month after divorce and four months after entering the US would, to my thinking, raise questions.

i know it does raise questions and thats why i am glad the petition was re-affirmed.they will and can not accuse me of marital fraud again since that was their basis at 1st which they later over turned though i never appealed their decision.i have all documents to show a bonafide marriage.i know i will be well grilled at the interview and i already have vmy mind set on that

actually from learning from my ex-wife,it takes a month.and it sure helps when it was my ex who initiated divorce proceedings and even went as far as havng a sheriff serve me because i told her I as not gonna sign the papers and oh! she sent me a fake peice of paper at 1st to sign all in her desperaion to end the marriage.i have letters from her family expressing shock at her actions and a whole bunch of other documents to show i entered the marriage in good faith but still,that does not stop me from knowing that it will be a battle at my interview

[Jawaree 717]

Well as long as CO find no other in-admissibles

at interview U should be ok until it gets to the

adjudicators, just be aware there have been waiver

denials on overstay....good luck dude

Sorry, I didnt read much of the comments or post before me but I can relate to your situation and would give you a positive statements.

I overstayed my visa for five years, divorced my wife in june 2012, married my US Citizen wife August 2012, processed my papers (Adjustment of Status or AOS - dont get confused with the other AOS) December 2012, and was interviewed (us both) on April 2013 (approved on the spot and got my greencard a week after.)

Just file I-485 (which is approved or processed faster) and I-130. Just ready all your docs, proofs, and all relevant papers you can use to prove that your marriage is legit. Mine is legit and we showed them bunch of proofs. The interviewer would ask questions from those docs or proofs, and even silly questions that would put you on awkward position.

Goodluck.

that works when one is inside the usa. outside the usa? is a different path.

Thank you very much for the positive words and your experience tells me I do have a chance.I have all my documents together.Like I said,I ahve been married almost 7 years and just departed the USA 2 months ago so have bunch of documents to prove that we have a legitimate marriage.So I am hoping and praying for a favorable outcome
