Hi my ex tried to threaten me but nothing happened. I filed under the 5 year rule and I'm now a citizen. Good luck

Having kids, unfortunately, just proves you two had sex. Nothing about bona-fide marriage.    You're good nonetheless. Divorce if you want and file under 5 year rule or work your marriage. C

You have been a resident for over 5 years, so you should not have an issue.    Try not to worry. He cannot do a thing - and I doubt he will even try-.   What was your waiver for?

He cannot take you green card away. Period. End of story.

File under the five year rule and you'll be fine. I'm so tired of hearing about spouses threatening to "take green cards away" from exes, something they have absolutely no power to do. He had to file mountains of evidence to prove the marriage was real and now he wants to say it isn't? If that's the case (we know it isn't) he, himself, would be guilty of fraud.

Me too!  So many people seem to have this entitlement, that they "own" the spouses green card/visa because the spouse got it through marriage to them.  Nope!  The green card belongs to the immigrant and no longer has anything to do with the US citizen.  Can you imagine how many bitter letters USCIS has to read every year?

On J visas.  Spouse won DV lottery while in US.  Did AOS from the US.

Citizenship received in 2016, took ~5 months from application to passport.

Spouse received citizenship in 2019

A 10 year card, yes.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Yes, last year 

now he is paying for alemony and child support 

Sorry about your situation.  I agree with most of the other responses that this should not be an issue naturalizing under the 5 year rule.  When he threatens to contact USCIS tell him he is opening himself up to an immigration fraud investigation.  I know that is tough when dealing with a verbally abusive ex-spouse, and I am not suggesting you engage with him more than you have to.

 

Good Luck!

Even a 2 year GC as divorce waivers with the I751 are fairly common.  We all know the ROC process is just a way for USCIS to get more money.

Thank you for your reply.

he is been verbally abusing me for a long time and if I say to him it is not my problem you loose your money at the casino he will threaten me to report it at the ice.

I told him he can’t do that because I stayed with you for 10 years and had 2 kids together.

that does prove that the marriage was legit and real.

I already protected my self and my kids by getting a place for us and we are safe now.

 

Happy u are away from him but u can report further abuse ( if he phones or texts or emails)  to local police and ask for a restraining order

He does get to see his children but a court can make an order that allows him visitation (sometimes thru social services)
