I filed I-751 base on extreme cruelty and abuse in Dec 2012.I got NOA 1 in December and that is all.

I received REF in November 2013 asking for more evidence proving bonafied marriage.

I sent RFE answer on January 22,2014.Got interview notice this April and was there today (29th) at 1pm for my interview.

I went there about 1 hour earlier. After I check in I wait for about 45 min when a woman of about 55 - 60 I guess called my name.

She greated me and walk me to her room. She said I will interview you today but before you seat down I will have u sear that you are only going

to tell nothing but the true. I wear .We sat down face to face like on a dining table.

She took my form I-751 and basically asking me same questions I answer on them. Like my name, my address, my age, my ex-wife name , age....

After that she ask How we met ?which year? how long before getting married, How is my relation with her family, How was she behaving before and after I got here

Tell her about the abused stuffs? Was she on drug or anything else? Does control anything I do? Supposing I was in my country and my wife was behaving that way what will I do?

She asked where did I live when I got here? Do we have kids together ? Does she have any? do I have any? Did we leave in apartment or house?

She ask about how I end up in a domestic violence shelter ? Did I go through any therapy? Any letter proving that all that?She said I will keep the original documents from the shelter in my file and I will give you copies. And her last question was, "do u know your wife contact immigration that she will not sponsor you again so she want us to deport you?"

After all she said, I will go ahead and approve your green card. You will received it in about 10days in the address you put the I-751 or do you want us to send it somewhere else?

Do you have any question? I only said thanks you? she said then we are done. See you one day again somewhere else. She walked me out and said bye bye bye!!!!

Immigration knows some US citizens bring foreigners here and think they have all the right over them, like they don't have a say just because they are not Americans.

But it is a lie...when the time come they will know if you marry for good or you are a scammer. Just present your case ,and what you don't know about don't try it ask for help and do it the right way.

"Thank you very much Sandra"!!! For all your helps !!! God Bless you

Hello everyone, hope you are doing good, congrats with all the approvals.

I am still waiting. Filed my I-360 15 months ago... inquired ombudsman more then 1,5 months ago (no response), e-mailed VSC (no responce yet as well, contacted my congressman and got a response that my case ia under background check amd there is no timeline for that. Can take either 2 weeks or 2 years.

Yesterday my grandma passed away, only God knows how I loved her and will always do, and I could NOT be there with her to say good-bye. That makes me cry...

Sandra, can you please tell me what I have to do if I requested for prima facie extemsion about 45 days ago and did not get any respose. Will really appreciate your input. Thank you
