Hello family. 

 

So, I was here some time ago about the delay in removal of conditions for me and my two kids.

I came to the US on IR1 Visa on Feb 2015. My 2 children joined 2 months later.  Long story short,  the marriage didn't work out due to a lot of emotional abuse, brazen infidelity, alcoholism and drug abuse on the part of my American husband. Eventually, we parted ways and got legally divorced in 2016. I filled a petition @ the USCIS against my ex, detailing all his atrocities, with cogent evidence of most of his dealings with me and my kids.

Eventually,  our 2-year green card expired and we did the necessary biometrics in order to remove conditions. Well, that was in December 2016. We are still awaiting response from USCIS. I booked an appointment and went to see them, they extend our Visas till June next year. 

 

My question is, is there anything I should do in order to move things forward? My children are both in the university. I have a good job and I'm so worried about the long silence from USCIS.

 

What should I do?

 

N.B. 

Pls let me say here that the things my ex husband did to me while I was married to him were so bad that if I was the one who had done same to him, I probably would have been deported by now. 

 

Thanks.

Did you file waiver ? You can contact your congressman or senator to inquire with uscis behalf of you. Sometimes they cant do much about it. These days RoC takes about 18 months but lookin at your case, it may take more time.

They already extended your GC until june next year. So you are fine with status but I am sure it will take time, waiver cases need to be reviewed with more scrutiny before they approve. So just be patient. You will get your approval.

"You entered on an IR1 and you are a legal permanent resident on day 1 of your entry to the US. Your green card ID can expire but your legal permanent status is still in effect. If you have submitted your I-751 and did not retract it, then you are in good hands." This advice came from the immigration lawyer I consulted this year.

If you entered on an IR-1 visa, then you would have been issued a 10 year green card and not have to file for ROC. It sounds like you entered on a CR-1 visa instead.
