Divorce finalizing in July. Unfriending on Facebook, should I keep evidence before that?

[dumiduda1990 19]

Thank you I’m advance!! 

 

ROC was filed jointly October 2018. Divorce was field in April 2019 and will be finalized in July 2019. Will switch to waiver after receiving the decree.

 

As the title suggested, I want to unfriend my soon-to-be-ex-husband on Facebook and other social media because it’s been so unpleasant during this process. I also don’t want to keep his last name anymore, even though we are still legally married. I would like to start by changing it back on social media. Will that be a red flag?  Should I take some screenshots of the “evidence” before I do so? We have out-of-country travel pictures along with family pictures. I know generally evidence via social media isn’t deemed very strong but since I’ll be switching to a divorce waiver, I’d like to “beef up” my application as much as I can.

You can download every picture and every conversation you ever had on Facebook. I think you can do it via mobile and on desktop. It will send you an email when the zip file is ready for download. Download it.

Great idea, didn't know about that function, thanks!

Why the focus on Social Media?

I don't think it weighs as much as other evidence, but thought I'd keep as many documents as I could, just in case. I might be over worrying because now I'm switching to a divorce waiver.

Sorry, I mean the comment below about changing your status or your last name on social media.  That seems so unimportant, I wouldn't even care enough to think of it.  I guess social media presence is important to you. I'm in my early 40's so I'm not that into social media.  Good luck.

Already deactivated my FB account because it wastes too much of my time. Given a bunch of interactions there with my husband that could potentially serve as evidence for a bona fide marriage, should I reactivate it so USCIS people can check it? Honestly, I never thought about the role of social media in proving a marriage. Anyway, I feel USCIS' definition of marriage still stays in 1960s, they probably won't care about social media.

Hi! My now understanding is that social media's influence is so low that it practicality doesn't' matter. I would say you should reactivate it only if *you* want to, regardless of immigration concerns :)
