Divorce waiver case. Need advice

[nottheone 0]

Hello VJers,

 

I would really love to get your help on certain aspects of my case. Filed I-751 divorce waiver case on June 2017. My question is, does USCIS verify dates of the period before marriage i.e. dating time? I'm asking because my ex-husband was always terrible remembering dates and events and places while we were together. It got so bad that I even had to set calendar reminders for his own daughter's birthday from his previous marriage. During our I-485 application time, I had a pretty rough time making him understand the importance of remembering dates and events relevant to our relationship and how we could be denied if the IO notices this during our interview. He would always tell me that I was being paranoid and that "no one cares about dates". Thankfully the AOS interview went relatively smooth and the IO was very nice, but tbh it was a long time ago and I can't recall if we were asked dates when we started dating and got engaged and whatnot.

 

Fast forward to 2 years after our wedding and he asks me for divorce cause he wanted to start a relationship with his new gf and wants me out of the picture. I hire a lawyer and we file for my I-751 with a divorce waiver. Now my real concern is, for whenever USCIS starts reviewing my ROC case, will they contact my ex and ask him about dates specifically? I myself have no trouble remembering the dates and places we went to, and if I'm called for an interview, I will go in prepared to answer the questions and not hesitate. Though, the time while we were dating doesn't have much documents other than pictures here and there and tickets to movies/museums/concerts. We only started living together the day we got married cause my family is conservative christian and that would have freaked them out. So this will make it nearly impossible for me to prove we were together before we got married, especially since couples who are dating never require to document their relationship in paperwork or any forms. But the entire duration of our marriage I have pretty solid evidence that indicates dates, comingling of finances, taxes, joint leases, bills together, insurances, trips together, family memberships, photos, pets we owned and evidence of when trouble started in the marriage, evidence of marriage counseling to attempt to save the marriage, and I also kept evidence of his cheating on me with the new gf and gifts he bought her from our joint accounts, so as far as my evidence to prove our marriage and how/why it dissolved I am very confident. The only thing that scares me is if USCIS decides to ask about the dating period and him giving them wrong information, forgetting dates/events, or even saying that certain things didn't happen. He's not particularly a vindictive person, but he really only cares about himself, he only does things if he directly benefits from it, and since we're no longer together and he tossed me aside like I never existed, I have no doubt he wouldn't give a s#!t if I get denied or if he complicates my ROC.

 

Please does anyone  have any advice on how far does USCIS investigate information prior to marriage? I'm very worried of USCIS having even a sliver of a doubt about my case.

 

Thank you so much

Filing for ROC with a divorce waiver specifically means that your ex is out of the picture. You have to provide all documentary evidence and sit for an interview, by yourself, if called to one. I'm pretty sure your ex won't be contacted at all. That's the whole point of the divorce waiver. Good luck.
