553 days & still waiting

[Y3ambouzinek 4]

In 2016 I filed a k-1 visa for for my Tunisian fiancee. After we got married, he waited for his 2year residence docs. & once he got them, he left me for another woman. He divorced me. I felt broken. after 4 years I meet my now husband who I love and won my heart. I know him since 2020. Unfortunately he is from the same country "Tunisia". We married in his country & been married since 03-2021. After 1year of marriage after we decided to file for the I-130 on 09-2022. They send us the first NOA in September telling us that is in process. It has been 553 days or 1year & 7months already. The processing time (14months) has been long expired & til now nothing. Every time I check when can I inquire about my case it keep adding time to the inquire date. Does anyone know why my case is taking such long time? Does anyone have an advice in what can I do to speed the process or at least know what is going on? please anything or anyone with knowledge about this is greatly appreciated. thank you and have a great rest of your day.

Normal red flags still exist for a new husband 

Did you help the ex ROC ?

USCIS may be looking to see if he did ROC or naturalized 

 

I am so sorry for what happened to u in the 1st marriage that seems to have messed up the happiness in  the 2nd

 

this is not a judgement or saying "u r doing this" but these past few years USCIS has seen several cases of sham marriages   /  some for a visa and/or money. so marrying another from the same country after divorcing the 1st is going to get extra scrutiny especially if the 1st spouse has not gone thru ROC with divorce waiver or Naturalized and they don't know where he is.

they may be looking at how u met both to see if u r considered a target.  U may not think it but USCIS trys to protect both parties in these relationships.   I do know the wait is heartbreaking as it took us 6 years to get  a visa.

 

Have u sent in an inquiry about your case?

Have u considered filing a WOM?

 

if he did not naturalize,  remember u r still on the hook for the I 864 from AOS 

 

While u wait

Your case will be scrutinized due to the circumstances and country.  There is nothing you can do to speed it along.

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I meet him through some of my X people that he knows but they where never friends. Yes i understand that i might be targeted since they are both from the same country and like u said it is a shame that i was used for documents and now that i found the real love ,,, i have this huge black mark on my record. I honesty dont know if my X filed for citizenship. and feel sorry for my self that i am still on the hook. I ruined my life by my own hand. is so sad how he did me wrong but i still have to pay for him betraying me instead of the other way around. why then USCIS hasn't denied it if they dont trust me? the waiting is just agonizing...

This is a good idea.  And, I believe filing the 129F in this situation is still free.  Please let us know how you go!

Im sorry for what happened to you, and yes your case shows red flags, BUT good thing, you waited 4 years to marry again.   That is a bit of a plus for you.  

Have you checked your case on line?  You may want to make a info pass appointment, maybe get answers there.

 

You can overcome this,  I married to soon after my Ex- Egyptian husband divorced me, but my current  ( and last Husband) and I managed to get through the process, and we had LOTS of red flags.  Finally after nearly 3 years ,  He was granted a 10 year green card back in 2019

He now is awiting processing of his citizenship.  ♥

Actually no.  Nothing you can do will "force" anything.  Filing the I-129F for spouse won't hurt, and might prompt another quick look at the I-130 before closing the I-129F.  Whatever scrutiny is causing the delay, will continue until it is satisfied.  Sometimes this scrutiny involves boots on the ground in Tunisia.  Can be a long wait.
