I am soon due to need to apply to remove the conditions of my temporary permanent card. I know what forms to use, the fees etc.

My question is should I anticipate further problems because I was in overstay to begin with?

We have plenty of evidence to support that my case was unique and a very pressing health care as reasons, but I was wondering if we have to face all the questioning again so we can prepare for that.

That said, we have been happily married and enjoying our life here as productive members in the USA, and have affidavits to support that.

Thank you to those who are willing to reply to me

First, one little nik-pik: It is not a temporary permanent card, it is a conditional residency card but for all intents and purposes it is the same as the 10 year GC except it expires after 2 years--it indicates you are a LPR of the US.

Second, you just have to prove that your marriage is legit and was not entered into in order to avoid US immigration laws. You do this by supplying evidence that you had two seperate lives before the marriage and now have combined these lives like a normal married couple. For the USCIS that means monetary risk and responsibility. Joint bank accounts, joint residence, joint tax returns, joint assets and joint liabilities. Most typical married couples have this covered in their day-to-day lives. The over-stay was forgiven when you filed for and were granted the conditional GC.

Good luck,

Dave
