Naturalization interviews post-divorce and I-751

[JustVolume 4]

Good afternoon, everyone!

 

I completed an AOS back in 2019 when I was married to an American citizen (we had been together since 2014) and my initial conditional residence had been approved, and everything was peachy perfect. 

We applied for my conditions to be removed around 90 days before the 2-year mark as a joint petition

The pandemic happened, economy crashed, tensions ensued, mindsets change, and in short, she cheated on me, became pregnant with another man's child and I ended up filing for divorce due to adultery. 

We completed the divorce, had the biological father acknowledge his paternity and sent USCIS a request to convert my joint petition to a divorce waiver, accompanied with the divorce decree. USCIS acknowledged my request and approved my I-751 with no interview or RFEs. 

I applied for Naturalization in September of 2024 on the general 5 year basis instead of the 3-year marriage to the USC (obviously), and my interview is next month. 

 

With all of these things considered, would the fiasco with my ex-wife possibly cause some problems in the N-400 interview? Is there anything I should prepare in advance? I know I have to bring divorce decrees of all annulled marriages to the interview, but considering I applied for the 5-year provision instead of the 3-year USC filing, what preparations should I take in consideration?

 

PS I have never paid for a lawyer for any of my immigration cases. Everything was done by myself and my ex-wife alone. I simply cannot afford it 😕

Everything in your immigration history can be reviewed by USCIS at N-400 stage. Be ready to talk about that marriage, divorce and everything else.

I would recommend saving / borrowing money to have attorney at the interview.

I don't see anything in your post that would cause you any problems. You might get asked questions, which is normal, but I don't see any issues.
