you may like to paraphrase your question. are you merely referring to US ratio of divorces? you may like to consider too that most countries may have embraced interracial marriages but not all legalized divorce...

hi,

i got conditional greencard through spouse. my I-130 (IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN) was approved about 3 years back and touched again on March 09, 2008 and it gives a status -

Current Status: Interview completed, but case under review

Your case is currently undergoing a required review by an immigration officer. We will notify you by mail as soon as the review is completed and a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool or call 1-800-375-5283 to update your address. You can use our processing dates to estimate when your case may be processed by following the link below. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case by registering in the link below.

My I-485 (APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS) was also touched on March 09, 2008 but its status is still the same as it was about 3 years ago. That is, approved status.

my I751 was filed at TSC and it was redirected to CSC and it says that my case will be decided by CSC. i completed my biometrics on January 25, 2008 and it is showing case still pending.

i have following questions, if you can check your applications and let me know ASAP-

1] is it normal that I-130, I-485 are touched while I-751 is processed? Was yours touched (if you can please check and let me know)?

2] i made an infopass appointment twice in last month and spoke with immigration officers. one was cordial and she said i need to wait. other was VERY ROUGH. he was speaking as if my conditional would not be lifted.... can a infopass officer really an officer or he is just a clerk with not much insight. i am scared. please let me know your thoughts

3] as i got divorced before i filed I751 (i submitted all the required documentation), can i get remarried before my I751 is approved or will it affect my I751 in any way?

regards

Why would you be asking if something is normal when your case is not normal? I find nothing unusual in the Service looking over your original petitions. Is there a reason, that you can think of, that would lead you to believe your case might not be approved?

Who let the freakin' newbie in?

[William33 110]

The "off the cuff", speculative answer is less for the US immigrant relationship. I will venture a guess from the US perspective:

I believe there is a 50% divorce rate for the US native couple, with a 35% failure for the immigrant couple. This is only speculative, based on VJ evidence and US statistics on divorce.

The divorce rate is only 12% (referring to a K-3 Visa) while it's 32% on a K-1 Fiance visa.

Fuzzy math alert! They aren't citing a source:

Here's another recent thread discussing foreign marriages with more fuzzy math. Get out the flamethrowers, I'm going in!

I remember looking for the same data and all I got some numbers close to 80% success rate, but nothing so much offical that would make me trust the source.

I googled "foreign + rate + divorce.

My question is what is the rate of divorce from people who marry people from other countries versus the rate of people who marry people from their own countries? Is it higher or lower?

32.58%

Where did you get this number from, wacken?

There is no way to accurately estimate the rate of failure. However, anecdotal evidence from VJ would be a good start.
