I-751/N400 approved

[Ani2 26]

Hi everyone, 

 

I would like to express my appreciation for everyone that advised me through my immigration journey. 
 

Here is my immigration history;

I came to the US on fiancé visa in July 2018. Got my conditional green card in September 2019. Applied for unconditional green card in June 2021, in the meantime got divorced and notified USCIS about it. In February 2023, USCIS sent me a RFE, I was already divorced and didn’t have a lot of additional evidences to provide. I collected a bunch of affidavits from ex husband’s family and our mutual friends. The RFE response was submitted and ever since USCIS received my response, I haven’t heard back from them since April 2023. I became eligible for citizenship in June 2024 but waited for USCIS to resolve my I-751 but no luck. I submitted an inquiry on my case in July 2024, and nothing. So I ended up applying for the citizenship in September 2024. Got an update for scheduled interview in December 2024. I had my combo interview on Monday. I had an attorney with me because my I-751 wasn’t resolved. My attorney advised me to bring all evidences that I had since I started dating my ex husband back in 2015. I printed 188 pages of our texts from 2016-2018. I found passport stamps from our trips while we were dating. All the pictures from dating period as well. I had chains of emails with my ex while we were married from 2020. I was able to get an emergency form with my ex husband’s name on it from the previous employer while I was married.
My ex husband and I tried to get back together more than once after divorce, my attorney told me to bring an evidence on that as well. So I printed pictures from that period, we went to several events together like his brother’s wedding and his nephew’s birthday.
The officer was satisfied with all the evidences that I brought and said that my evidences are sufficient. I explained my whole marriage/divorce situation and was honest about it. 
Today my I-751 case status updated to “Case was approved” and my N400 to “Oath ceremony notice was mailed”. 
 

This was an emotional and extremely stressful roller coaster and I can’t explain how relieved I am today. I wish that for everyone. My advice to everyone that is going through this: Be honest and there is nothing to worry about. Don’t be worried telling the truth no matter what the truth is. Every human being is going to appreciate your honesty. 
 

Good luck everyone!  🍀
