ROC I751 Waiver Filing and Interview: Help [merged threads]

[A1987WA 11]

Folks, good morning to all. I had my interview today. It was not very rough as I was prepared for or tough. I went with my lawyer and we both had our files. After an hour or so waiting, the interview officer called me. I went with lawyer and he introduced himself. He asked me to take oath. Then we sat and he asked for interview notice and green card copy, also driving license copy. I mentioned my address change in DL , so he fixed it in system. He asked my full name, ex-spouse name, date of divorce, checked if I had divorce decree. Asked what evidences we provided and we mentioned joint tax, joint lease, bills, bank statements, 4 vehicles, 3 motor loans, marriage counseling etc. He was taking notes I believe. Asked how we met and who proposed whom and how. Then he said "okay you will receive your decision if case get approved, I have everything needed to review". He asked if I had any question, I said no. I asked if he had any question and feel to know anything if he needed. He said he did not think so. My lawyer said if he could ask few questions just to take as testimony. Then he was like kind of NOT NEED TYPE MODE but asked how long you guys dated and asked why so early got married (like 4 months). I explained that we had a fantastic relationship and it was very well shared, cared, and it was a bucket of love, affection, care, attention etc. He asked how the marriage ended and who filed for divorce. I said my ex filed and went to answer how it ended. The officer said no need to explain actually since you guys are divorced and we have divorce decree. He said you and your lawyer will receive a decision once made. 

I thanked officer for being nice and respectful, also thanked him for chance to have conversation.He took copy of DL and GC, we were waiting outside. He came and returned the DL/GC. I thanked him again and said it was pleasure meeting him. He smiled and said thanks for coming. Now I am shattering again in stress why did not he ask many questions to understand the marriage situation or he already made up his mind prior our entrance. My lawyer said it went well and not to worry about any spouse complaint because the tone of officer was not negative. But the officer did not say anything about approval or confirmation of a decision.  Any idea how long I have to wait for a decision? And is it a red flag that he did not ask some common questions?

Sounds a pretty normal interview.

Is it bad?

Not necessarily.  Often IOs will not give a decision at the end of an interview even in cases without divorces (need to review it with a supervisor, waiting on documents, etc.).  All the OP can do is wait for the decision, and rejoice or respond accordingly.

 

To the OP, I understand it is frustrating, but keep your patience, and hopefully the outcome will be positive.

Hello: I had my i751 filed with divorce waiver on April 2018 and got notice for interview October 2024. We got married in October 2015, divorced October 2017 and I have been a CPR since August 2016. Our marriage was genuine but ended in divorce on ground of insupportability where she filed for divorce. I am now again extremely worried about possible outcomes. I settled myself in last few years and have been a CPR for 8 years almost. I got several US based financial licenses and working in a reputable firm. I filed my ROC with good evidences of bonafide marriage IMO but still very stressed since I got the interview notice. I did not get any RFE though. 

I submitted followings with my ROC (briefly): Marriage certificate, Divorce decree, My affidavit explaining our love-marriage-divorce, 3 family and friends affidavits, Joint lease paper, Joint utility bills, Joint bank accounts, Joint car insurance, Joint vehicle ownership, Joint IRS tax filing transcripts, our photos, our communication during marriage and during divorce, proof of several marriage counseling to save marriage, some of our letters which showed our shared love and affections etc.

 

I thought USCIS will see the evidences to make a judgement on our marriage. But things may get complex as I was told by her friend and my ex brother in law that she filed a letter or complaint to get out of the sponsorship (financial). We had verbal arguments during our divorce and she thought I would start living on her if I go broke. Honestly, opposite happened and I helped her even after 1 year of divorce when she was having hard time to pay tuition in her last semester! I am not sure how this can impact (in case if her complaint/letter appears during interview) because my paralegal said USCIS can take her words as Word of God. 

I have my own student loans, jobs, life and have everything in USA now. I am confident that I can show my love and bonafide marriage but still scared after talking to that paralegal that what if USCIS does not listen to me or see my all evidences. Any advice or opinion on this? 

In case of negative outcomes, how the situation goes? Do I get chance to appeal? Or Do they allow time to prepare myself for next step? I already submitted everything I had to prove my bonafide marriage, so I may not add anything more. 

Some people said I provided ample evidences and USCIS knows about grudging spouses. Some said they won't hear anything if she writes a letter and I won't have any ground because we are not married anymore. Please kindly share if any of you have experience or knowledge on my type situation/case. 

 

 

Folks, Case got APPROVED!!! 🥲😍
