thanks I know this case is not a standard one , and I expect the heavy scrutiny, it’s just sad that uscis expects people to keep hanging in there so they can obtain a greeen card when a marriage is obviously not working out. I am trying to right those wrongs now, one piece at a time . Reading thru all this comment has gotten me so worried about working with an invalid EAD card , I am scheduling another consultation with a lawyer on Tuesday to know the steps I need to take in that regard . Not sure if I need to notify my employer and just quit the job while waiting for a new EAD card

Sorry for the late response, 1) I wasn’t married on my b1/b2 2) about a year 3) nope we have different ethnicity but we both speak English . 4) my ex wife wasn’t working so I had to get a joint sponsor I know I have three red flags . Marrying too early , marrying someone outside my race and my wife not working (public charge at the time ) , I just thought that was the whole point of being interviewed . Like I said ALL of our answers were matching on both occasions and they really do have tons of evidence from that marriage . I did two service requests and two congressional enquires but it wasn’t yielding any results . the marriage wasn’t working out at the time with lots of financial and emotional abuse on her part and I hate to keep hanging ONLY because I was waiting on a green card . I was the one who filed for divorce because I couldn’t deal eventually. I had the option of filing for VAWA but thought against it . Met my current wife after the divorce and we again started gathering evidence as well . I know it’s an uphill task , reason why I am asking for advise on this forum

Thank you so much . now i understand the whole picture and why the attorney gave his advise. I am not so worried about scrutinization, I know my case might be delayed this time around again and even longer , but my marriage is real , we have a baby on the way , a mortgage in both our names and divorce is not an option for us .. we intend to wait this out even if it takes 20 years this time . The only fear I always have is with my EAD as I have a very stable job and wonder what’s my fate and if I will have to notify my employer about my EAD even though it isn’t expired , I know it’s invalid as soon I withdraw the case

She didn’t notify them as we didn’t have a messy divorce and we still wish each other well .

Yea , I could get her to write a notorize letter, we are on decent terms . I have notarized letter from her two sisters and her cousin that was submitted during our second interview . I can still make copies of those .

We didn’t have any attorney for both as we didn’t see a need to at the time based on the fact that our marriage was in good faith and we had nothing to hide or worry about . We were given a printed copy of answers for the second interview and ALL the answers were exactly the same . I have been to different consultations with different attorneys and I have been gettig varied answers. The last attorney we went to told us we should apply for everything and we can withdraw the previous I-130 and I-485 whenever we are called for interview . The other attorney echoes your concern about withdrawing first before applying so I wasn’t sure which to follow . But i would be withdrawing the initial one and apply for a new one simultaneously like you suggested. Thank you so much

Thank you so much . I will send the letter to withdraw the Initial I-485 today . And send the new one on Monday . Thanks you so much . do I need to reach out to my ex wife to withdraw the initial I-130 or my I-485 withdrawal today will suffice for both ? Would I need to attach divorce letter with I-485 withdrawal or just a simple letter of withdrawal is good ?

Yea I have tons of evidence from my first marriage as well . I never had issues with my first marriage. I assume the issue was with my joint sponsor . We had interview twice and was separated on both occasions. ALL our answers were the same on both occasions. The second interview was for almost an hour and it was based ENTIRELY on how well we both know our joint sponsor and how we met him . ALL our answers were the same .

That’s what i am asking . I am applying on the basis of a new marriage. I already filed the new I-130 , I am applying for the EAD based on the new i485 I am about to submit this week . The old one is not expired yet but I understand it might be invalid as soon as I withdraw the old one

@Family thank you so much for your input . Would you know about the EAD card if I should apply for a new initial permission for EAD card or submit the new i485 without the i765? on the i765 application, I don’t have a lot of options

@Boiler you mean the initial application ? I don’t get ?

@powerpuff from a b1/b2

@Boiler , EAD was based on previous pending i485 . It was renewed about the time the divorce was finalized and just renewed more recently after the divorce. But it was renewed for two years

Hi all , I was married, filed I-130 and I-485 concurrently with my ex wife . Case has been pending since 2018 went through a lot with with ex wife . Filed for divorce in 2020 and remarried SOMEONE else. It’s been a year of being married , we are having a baby together plus tons of evidence already and mortgage in both our names. Filed I-130 on 12/23/2022 online with current spouse , and front loaded with all the evidence. About to file i-485 this week. So question: 1) I have a valid EAD card that expires in 2024 , do I need to apply for a new EAD card (form I-765) when filing I-485 ( if yes, am I applying for renewal of permission or initial permission for employment) or do I just file for i-485 now and wait until the EAD card expires to file for renewal with new case 2) i intend withdrawing the old I-130 and I-485 from my previous marriage during the interview whenever we are called for it (based on consultation with an immigration attorney ) is that the right way to go about it or should I withdraw it NOW before putting in the new i485 this week ? I will appreciate any help I can get
