Hmm, well recently my wife left me, so here I am, the British Citizen with Conditional Permanent residence. (still waiting to hear back about the conditions being removed, its been a couple of months) I have been married for 3 years on August 12th, have been in the US 2 years and about 2 months. The marriage was entered into with good faith and I never foresaw something like this happening... clearly im probably going to have to talk to a lawyer, but any heads up would be appreciated.

I have a 2 year old US citizen son, so I mean surely immigration wouldnt boot me out of the country right? Im the only one that can support myself and my son since she has a retail job (working 20 hours a week) anyone? Kind of worried right now about everything :/

Robjb,

You've already applied for removal of conditions? Before the separation? Was the indication in the application documents of pending marital problems? Many I-751 applications are approved without interview.

Your son will not prevent you from being expatriated should your I-751 be denied.

Yodrak

There is nothing to suggest it would be denied.

Hi! You should be fine and not gonna be denied. You might gonna be approved without an interview.,but if you or she is planning to file for divorce before the I-751 approval or already divorced, you should resubmit the new I-751.
Best wishes.
Sincerely.

Thanks guys and gals. We are separated but have not filed for divorce yet. When I applied to remove the conditions we were still together and I didnt foreseee what was soon to happen. I guess im just a little worried also because I was late sending off my change of address forms, one time a couple of motnhs late, the other time a whole year late... Well, I will wait and see. Assuming the conditions get removed and there are no problems, do I need to do anything else special to notify them that I am getting divorced?

HI! Did you say that you are Legally Separated? As far as i know that being Legally separated is very close to be as being Divorced .Did you file some papers for to be Legally Separated.?...
If i understood you correctly you need to resubmit a New I-751 in this case... .....
If you mean that you are just Separated by the means that she left you without filing any papers for the legal separation, thats another story...,i dont know,you probably dont need to do anything in this case ,just wait and see....she might come back to you... ,but i would suggest to you to contact an immigration attorney about your case as the attorney would give you a good legal professional advice.
Also, If you are going to be divorced while your I-751 is pending,you should notify the USCIS immediately by mail and by phone. After the divorce is final you need to resubmit the new I-751 .
Also you should call them and make sure that they have Changed your adress in computer as they might send you the important mail or the Card to the old adress,in case if the computer doesent indicate the New Change of Adress.
We have Changed the Adress and notified them about the Change within 10 days,but i have received the Approval letter on our New Adress ,but the Green Card was delivered to the Old Adress,thanks God my husband found it there as the old house was still on Sale at that time.
I hope this will help and dont worry too much
Best wishes
Sincerely.

good luck I hope things work out for the best

So of the 3 years you've been married; how long did you actually cohabitate with your wife for?

I mean, one time a couple of months, then a whole year another?

No no no, he means that once when he moved he sent the AR-11 a couple months late, another time when he moved again he sent it a year late. Not that that's how long they lived together for!

There is no legality in our separation, she left and moved in with her mother, I just recently moved to a diff apartment since she started seeing a guy and i dint like the fact that my apartment was facing her mothers apartment :/

We have lived together constantly for the almost 3 years we have been married and longer before that, I just meant that we had moved a couple of times within the US (same state) which is where I forgot to do the change of address

HI! If you have moved to a new adress again ,you need to file a new Ar-11 and I-864-Sposnsor;s Change of Adress,but since that you are not living together anymore., i dont know if your wife would agree to file the
I-864.Just file the Ar-11 as i have heard alots of people forget to file the I-864 and seems everything is fine as basically its not your responsibility to file the I-864 ,its her responsibility theoretically....
You should talk to the immigration attorney or just wait and see i guess, but since you had to move a lot i am concerned that the INS will be confused with your Change of Adresses all the time., so make sure that your adress have been changed in their computer system..
Hope this will help.
Best wishes.
Sincerely.

Did it also take you that long to notify the postal service of your new addresses or was it done right away?

dmartmar

You do this everytime someone posts that the marraige has or is ending.... you try to twist things and pick peoples posts to try and catch them out in some way.....

I know you have been hurt and I know you have not delt with it and moved on in your life.... but please dont do this to others... they come here for a little bit of support... they dont need you being negative all the time....

So the OP was late in doing his AR-11 so what.... dont tell me you have never forgoten to do something.....

Now please back off and leave this guy alone....

Kezzie

What's wrong with me asking such a valid question? I would assume that if the OP forgot to change his address with one Agency, he must've also forgotten to change it with the other as well! Right?

hmmmmmmmm favor dale un poco de descanso dmarter

Well, there's nothing inherently wrong with asking the questions, although one failure to file a change of address can have adverse consequences, and the other little.

Well, at first we lived with her father, from there we moved into an apartment. I forgot abotu the whole change of address thing, any mail we got came to us since we changed the address on any bills we had but living with her dad, we had very little to pay. So every now and then he might get a letter for one of us. No big deal.

The second time we moved to a bigger apartment in the complex we filed a change of address at the post office. A little later at this address is when I sent my forms off to file for immigrant change of address, thats when I had realised my mistake. Then a little while after that, I filed to remove conditions.

Thanks everyone for your support and suggestions, I feel a little bit better knowing that things dont necessarily have to be terrible for me at this point. I guess ill feel better when I hear back about my conditional status though.

Robjb,

Have you done more than simply file an AR-11? You have an open case pending with the USCIS, unless and until you change the address for that case anything that comes out of it will be mailed to the address that was on the application.

And has your wife submitted an I-865 since her latest move?

Don't know if the USCIS will recognize 2 different addresses and call for an interview.

Yodrak

Actually my wife is not my sponsor, my father in law is and he hasnt moved so i shouldnt need to do anything other than the AR-11 right? I have moved to a different apartment but still hold the lease on my old apartment until the end of september, so that and with my eventual change of address with the post office im hoping I will be alright at least with receiving mail

Robjb,

Actually your wife is your sponsor and your father-in-law is her joint sponsor. If your wife moves she is required to submit I-865 within 30 days.

Yodrak

You have to send in the dissolution absolute from your divorce (a copy) or they will not process the 1-751.
They will then more then likely send you an extension notice for 1 year.

I have a couple of friends that had to wait neally 2 years to hear if they were approved, and they were with no interview.

As for the AR11 don't sweat it I have moved so many times and when I had my last appointment with Immigration (infopass) they told me that the system can take up to 10 months update your address.

If you are really concerned about your issue then book an info pass at your local office and just ask your questions there it will put your mind at rest.
