Going for IR1 interview for the second time. Help!!!!!

[zee baby 0]

Hi, please I am going for my IR1 interview for the second time and it will be in December. 
The first filing was done in 2016 and I got my spousal visa in 2018, but unfortunately, my visa was cancelled without prejudice due to misrepresentation in my spouse divorce decree. Case was sent back to USCIS and was later revoked. 
We had to re-file his divorce with his ex as there was a mistake made by the lawyer in the first decree which made the embassy believe it was fraud. We filed another divorce with his ex who already has kids and married to another man years ago before my last interview 

After re-filing the divorce with his ex, we had to remarry again for the second time as the first marriage was considered invalid. 
In 2021, we filed another I130 and took us 20 months to get approved. 
Now, I have to go for another interview with the original divorce decree and genuine one from his ex. Note: we have two kids already together and they’re American citizens. 
what should I expect from the interview? I am so worried and I want this to be perfect this time. We have been waiting for 7 years. Please advice me

The Petitioner is the one with the fake divorce degree?

 

Did he then get divorced in the US or Nigeria?

He was in the US at the time the divorce was filed in Nigeria in 2009. He filed thru a lawyer introduced to him by a friend and after spending so much, they sent him a divorce certificate that wasn’t registered at the court. Without confirmation, he waited till 2016 and we got married unknowingly to us that the certificate wasn’t genuine until my interview.

In a federal high court in Nigeria. Because, the ex is based in Nigeria not USA.

Also, he was present for the filing and monitored it till the judgement was made.

It would have been better to have divorced in the US but water under the bridge

 

I would assume they will check that the divorce is valid.

Do you mean USCIS didn’t carry out  investigation for the 20 months our case was with them?

What should I do ahead or what do I expect? I mean the likely questions the CO will ask and how to prepare ahead?

[JeanneAdil 6,581]

• you answer the questions honestly and will problably be in AP while the CO checks the new degree
• sounds like your spouse paid a nigerian for divorce and they just took his money and bought a fake document but u don't know exactly so don't volunteer any info
• What did your spouse explain this  on the new petition?

How did your spouse get his citizenship in the first place?

Answer all questions honestly.  Hopefully you've got your ducks in a row because they will be scrutinizing the case closely for evidence of more fraud.

He got his citizenship through the DV lottery. He applied and was picked.

Was he married when he applied for the DV? What’s his timeline? 
 

Where’s the ex now?

To best help u many of us ask questions

it can seem invasive and personal but immigration gets very personal

only trying to help here so bear with us and we will try

 

Unforunately Nigeria is known for fraud and false documents and u have been caught up in a long hard process because of that

Thankfully they are giving u and spouse a 2nd chance

I would suspect long AP after interview to check the document of divorce and the new marriage / nothing against u but in the past someone took your husband's money and there was no divorce

 

the CO will ask about times u have been together,  if u want children and i would not be surprised if the CO calls your husband

 

Stay hopeful,

Be honest 

don't volunteer anything the CO doesn't ask about
