I don't think there are any marriage without challenges. I understand what you are saying and every couple face those challenges (not only immigrants). Every couples perception of good faith marriage may differ from others, also from religious or cultural perspective. One couple may value romance more over responsibility, vice versa. Imagine you are an officer and we tell you how happy we are as a couple and the values we feel are more important for a relationship, while you may feel that these reasons are not worthy of good relationship because your perspective on marriage is different and deny the request.

 

For a side note I know someone who married a US citizen and applied for GC/citizenships right after their marriage. The relationship ended in a divorce after 3 years of marriage but he was still able to gain his immigration status because the reviewers looked at whether he went into marriage with good faith and not how it ended. Now I don't know how he did that. 

 

The reason I say that its going to delay the process is because they are going to mail you a letter with an interview date two months from the date of that letter. After interview they will process and send you the new card etc. All these chain of events will only delay the process by additional 2-3 months if not more.

The law states that they must approve or deny the petition based on the evidence as to whether or not you entered into the marriage to evade immigration laws. If you have in your possession enough financial and tax documents, joint leases and so forth, and there is no evidence against you (i.e., no hard evidence that you entered into a sham marriage to evade the law), then they have to approve you. Now, I understand that this is only the law as written, and that some of the IOs may deny you anyway based on their subjective opinion. This is why, in my opinion, you'd be well advised to speak to a lawyer and have him or her attend any subsequent interview, if you find yourself in a sticky situation. They're much less likely to ignore policy and the law with an attorney there, even though said attorney is not allowed to answer questions for you.

 

It shouldn't matter why the marriage ended. However, it will go more smoothly if you indicate that it was because of mutual incompatibility/irreconcilable differences. If you started thotting around from the moment you entered the country, then that would tend to indicate that you engaged in a sham marriage and had no intention of maintaining a relationship with your spouse.

if every i-751 case is required for an interview,  then it is going to take much longer to get it done,  then it is pretty risk to file n-400 while i-751 pending. biometrics expires in one and a half year, if remember it correctly.  

 

People, who got their I-551 stamp, got their biometrics "updated"  :)

i had my i-551 back in april, my biometrics was not updated at all

so... they didn't take your fingerprints and picture of you?.. Or I might be mistaken, thinking that whatever they do to stamp your passport - is a "biometric". Maybe it's just a verification of you with just "updated" picture?

You got it wrong fam, I don't judge anyone. I empathize entirely, and actually appreciate the honesty. It's not even a country anyway, it's the North American Economic Zone, sustained by consumption, state-promoted degeneracy, an endless strategy of tension, and fiat currency. I'd probably be trying to do exactly the same thing if I were from one of the lower social strata third world, by any means necessary. In many ways, many third world immigrants have much better moral values than the native Anglo inhabitants.

One who empathizes does not call someone's country "lower social strata third world"...just food for thoughts.

I believe it is to prevent case fraud, in the event someone else makes claims in your name. That way, they have the person's picture ID and fingerprints.

For some reason I set up my mind as it was 'to update biometric" action, lol :)

 

But I think you are right. Thank you!
