At least you now know who not to listen to.. Do your own research.. $1200 is a lot of money to go to waste over a hear say.

Provide the requested evidence if your petition has not been denied yet. And make sure you do so in the time frame given else you will have to start over and pay petition fee again..

Sorry, man..

Contact your congressional representative for assistance with divorce decree in military records.

if i throw good money after bad with a new K1 process, they'll keep denying my request since I have no divorce decree; someone told me to make one up but they USCIS will probably find the original and I'll lose my security clearance

so without the divorce decree I'll never be able to marry anyone outside the US and bring them here I guess (unless I find a syrian refugee, sorry for the cynicism but I'm totally bummed)

Multiple people here have told what you should do for you to get it, why not try that.

And no making one up it not a good idea at all. Seems like you have friends who give you very bad ideas.

milimelo,

thanks, I plan to do that again as a last resort (I contacted him once, via local office, Rep. Rob Wittman ®. with the election days away, I don't even know if he'll still be in place. The first contact had to do with getting my visa expedited, which I forgot to put on my timeline.

Now, however, the who marriage thing is in question.

I guess USCIS doesn't have any OMBUDSMAN and they're just accountable to themself

[Boiler 46,356]

Just get a copy of the Divorce Decree.

Security clearance? Not only that but you would get yourself on USCIS's list and probably get your wife/girlfriend effectively banned from the US forever.

NEVER even think about de-frauding the US government, it's just a stupid move.

USCIS does actually have an ombudsman, but you are unlikely to get help in your situation as they deal more with issues on USCIS' end. What you have is a personal issue that you need to take steps to address or dig through some old paperwork and find the decree.

Never lie to USCIS.

I linked the ombudsman for you, though I wouldn't expect a quick reply.

Your better off working with your congressman's immigration liaison, in my opinion.

And try the rest of the advice given here.

USCIS does have an ombudsman. You're just not at that point yet.

And USCIS can't help you get records from the military. But your congressional representative can. They can help with all federal agencies. The district office staff have very little to do with the election (or they shouldn't), and even if he loses his seat, there is always a transition period for these exact reasons. It's not like they'll pack up on November 10. The new guy wound't start until January 3, and even after that, they tend to retain the old staff along with the new staff for a few months. You also have two senators who also have local staff to help with problems exactly like this one. I would not use them as a last resort, I would use them as a first resort because they are pretty much the best people in the position to help you right now.

[Boiler 46,356]

I have no idea but assume from these posts that his Military documents would also include his divorce decree?

[SE18 2]

Thanks, as mentioned I contacted the National Personnel Record Center in Sept. but received no reply. You can only fax or mail them, they don't take phone calls as far as I know.

So I take it that I should not simply give up, that's there's hope to get thru this tangled process?

BTW, I thought about writing an op-ed piece to the Washington Post but checked with my security manager and that's a no-no too; I can't afford to lose my job at the Pentagon

[Anitafeliz 1,133]

If you work for the Pentagon you should know false documents is a crime.

The USCIS officers adjudicating the case will know a false document and if it gets by them I am certain the National Visa Center would catch.

but if you get by them...when they do catch up it will not be good.

do things right if love is real it will endure all
