the answers seem to support what I was thinking, that if the application process just takes long enough, the applicant will receive the 10 year green card without an ROC being necessary. It’s not directly about sending him back as someone here suggested, which to my understanding is not even an option at this point. It is mostly about shedding some light into what was going on in those years in that marriage and potential fraud, as my SIL didn’t recall signing any ROC documents, which now makes sense. I do not have a full understanding of everything, but from what I understand so far, there was a lot of abuse going on, mental and financial abuse 100% for sure, and it potentially even physical, at least that’s what my gut tells me, I could be wrong but a few things that were mentioned indicate that. Hence my interest in shedding a bit of light into some aspects of that marriage. Thank you everyone for the helpful answers.

Hello everyone, i have not followed up here in years as I am a US citizen and have been for a while. However, I am requesting some information on who the ROC process applies to. The reason I am asking that is that my sister in law married a non US citizen as well. He already had a rather troublesome history of green card fraud and at least early in their marriage was on deportation orders. However, as my SIL is going through a hard time with him and is in the middle of what seems a nasty divorce she showed me his green card approval letter. And it is for a 10 years green card. When I asked what year and time they had filed his ROC, she didn’t know what that was. Upon explaining it to her, she has no recollection of a two year green card or ever filing and signing this. I realize their battle for his green card took years And I don’t know all the details, so I am wondering: Is it possible to receive a 10 years green card straight away on marriage based filing if the process just takes long enough, or is an ROC ALWAYS involved in these cases ? Just trying to shed some light into what seems was not a marriage based on good faith…(which everyone waren her about early on, as she was/still is his third wife…..but that’s a different story). thank you for anything helpful !
