Hi fellow members of Visa-journey,

I filed my N400 back in January 2014. I got my Green Card base on marriage. However, I divorce before I got my 10 years Green Card and filed for my 10 years Green Card by myself. (5 years rule). Waited 2 months for my biometric to come but didn't happen like I am expecting. Called USCIS twice 1800 numbers, each time is about 30 days wait. Finally my Biometric came around May. I finished my finger print and my first interview was scheduled on July. Went for the first interview, pass my history, reading test but had some problems with my ex-marriage and I/O said a decision cannot be made. My status was changed to (R.F.E) right away and after a few weeks, my lawyer found out that it was a mistake from them, there were no RFE at all. A second interview was scheduled again on the September. During my second interview, I/O focus on my ex-marriage and asked about my ex-wife and children that she has. Asked about their names, date of birth, and where they were born. I did not have any kids with her and properly they were thinking I got my GC base on marriage. My ex-wife cheated on me and that was the only reason that I wanted to leave her. Nothing else. We stayed together over 2 years and she did a stupid mistake that caused an end to the marriage.

Anyway, I went through my 2nd interview and again!!! Decision cannot be made. From then onwards, I did not received any updates from them until January. I called USCIS again to check on my status and a request was send to my local field office (SF) that was working on my case. after two days, 2 immigration officers went to talk to my EX wife and they asked about our ex marriage. She told everything that happened to our marriage. She admitted that she cheated on me and caused an end to the marriage. The wait continued, for another 3 months. Felt like 3 years. I asked many lawyers about my case. Nobody seem to have an answer to my case. They said Wait for their response. None of them mentioned about suing USCIS. They said it will takes 6 months and lots of money will be wasted. So not recommended to sue them unless I really need to. My last lawyer told me to make an INFO PASS again and request to speak to the supervisor. I was prepared to do that during my appointment which was 4/07/15 yesterday. I got approved She said. I was overwhelmed with tears! Yes Yes Yes I am finally out of this wait! Currently I am waiting for my date for my Oath ceremony. Glad that my wait is worthwhile and hope anyone that has similar case like me, don't give up and keep pushing them for an answer! They will response only if you constantly call them and INFO PASS!

One Happy awaiting citizen here now! That is all for my story! Take Care and bless everyone that is going through their N400.
