Hi I’m praying someone will read my story and give me advise before my n400 and i751 combo interview in Chicago in 2 weeks. i will write all details and i know it is long but this is my only hope. i'm feeling very alone and my status is complicated. I am struggling with money and cannot afford lawyers and internet is my only hope to not make a mistake. I’m being questioned by USCIS for marriage fraud which is not true at all Thank you in advance if you can give any advise or thought. I’m hopeless and upset and hurt so any helpful comment can make a difference for me. My history: Married us citizen husband(we are from same cultural background) in 2016 after dating 2,5 years and living together 4 months in Chicago Got conditional 2 year green card in 2016 Applied I-751 to remove conditions in 2018 Applied N-400 under 3 year rule in 2019 while I-751 was pending Received N-400 interview letter in 2019 and went to interview ALONE because I was having marital problems. My ex husband refused to go to interview with me and I had to go to interview alone During the interview, Officer said they received marriage fraud report by my ex while we were going through marriage counseling and living together because my ex was mad at me for considering divorce. his family was on my side during the divorce because they loved me. Officer didn't look at my evidence during the interview and wanted to schedule a second interview. I went with a lot of evidence of our marriage but didn't get a chance to show them. I said okay and left the interview because I was shocked and embarrassed I decided to divorce my ex after the interview because i wouldn't be with someone who did this to me and separated officially while waiting for second interview notice. I wanted to go to second interview alone and switch to divorce waiver and withdraw n400 because that was the right thing to do. (2019) USCIS sent the second interview notice to WRONG address (I have proof of this and yes I always updated my address and got confirmations). I waited for this interview notice for months and I received the denial notice for i751 and n400 because they think I didn't go to interview on purpose. I found out about the second interview notice when I received the denial notice. USCIS sent this notice to completely wrong home(not a previous address etc) it didn’t go to my ex’s address either. They sent it to completely wrong address that I never lived in Chicago. I have proof for this. THIS WAS IN 2020. Denial notice said uscis thinks my marriage was not real. Second interview notice was a “CALL IN LETTER” G-56 and it wasn’t a regular interview notice that is why it was never uploaded to online system or online status never updated until the denial I never received court notice and i was never put in removal proceeding after the denial. My divorce became final and I got divorce decree in 2020. My ex cooperated during divorce because he kept all the money and everything we bought together. I refiled a new I-751 with divorce waiver in 2020. This I-751 is pending right now. I refiled a new N-400 under 5 year rule in 2021 while second I-751 is pending. I am going to combo interview for N-400 and I-751 in 2 weeks. Facts about my history My marriage was 100% real and I did not marry my ex for green card. I married the wrong man. I have no criminal history and i'm from asia(not sure if this is important) My ex reported me to USCIS for “marriage fraud” - this is not true but USCIS didn’t give me chance to explain so they assumed it was true. I saw the officers notes about my first i751 and he assumed this because I didn’t go to second interview (THE CALL IN LETTER that was mailed to wrong address) I'm sure that officer only assumed our marriage is not real because of missing interview. if i could go to that interview alone, i'm sure he would not deny me. I have A LOT of evidence about our relationship: Joint tax returns, joint mortgage, joint apartment lease, joint car and health insurance, joint car loan, joint savings and credit card accounts, joint memberships, photos, and list goes on for 5 years of our entire relationship. Everything is joint and has our names. and everything is for last 5 years. We always lived together until divorce. We always lived like married couple until divorce. We tried marriage counseling for 2 years. We have no kids, no pets We are both asians and are same age We had marriage problems started after first year. I'm not in removal proceedings. I even have letter from my ex husband that says “we entered marriage in good faith etc” because he was “calmed down” months after he reported me. He even now tries to reach out to me but i don't talk to him. My questions: (please help me with each one if you can) missing interview was a G-56 (call in letter) 2 years ago. People say, ICE will be waiting if they sent G-56 once. It is horrifying. My current interview notice is NOT g-56. It is regular interview notice. When I go to my interview in 2 weeks, will I be arrested or detained? I am confident in my evidence and my past but is lawyer a must? I know a lawyer is good to have but I can’t afford it. Will it be a horrible mistake if I go and defend myself alone? Should I defend myself for previous denials even if the officer doesn’t bring it up? I assume he would know about it in my history. Am I wrong? Should I talk about how USCIS sent the letter to wrong address even if officer doesn’t bring it up? Am I paranoid to think officer can try to trick me to deny my cases again if I go alone without attorney? Should I worry too much even if I have enough evidence of our marriage? I may get emotional because I’m really victim of false accusations and this process hurt me so much, how should I react to questions? Should I just explain everything even if they don’t ask about it? I’m lost, alone and worried. Please help or give me advise. God bless you and I hope everyone success in their journey
