Fiance lost citizenship through divorce, now wants to marry me, age gap (split)

[aleful 1,905]

hi

ditto, that's what I was thinking, that maybe he's confused or doesn't know the terms

she could have applied based on the 3 year rule, but because she wasn't eligible to get citizenship due to divorce, she has to reapply after 5 years of being a GC holder

but reading the post again, they have been married for so long and they just got divorced this year so she was eligible to get citizenship, but not in 2 years of being a GC holder, something doesn't add up here

This timeline makes no scense.

How did she enter in 2007 and get citizenship 2009? (2 years)

Hes not telling this story correctly.

And had she been married 9 yrs how does some family court judge strip her of her citizenship?

Could it be she applied and failed the test and has to reapply? This is the only scenario i can think that would allow her to no have citizenship and keep her greencard.

IF ANYONE knows another one please tell me.

This story smells bad!!

OP if you dont know her citizenship timeline i belive that in itself proves you dont have a bonifide relationship.

she lost her citizenship and she get back her past green card and as per court order she can apply for U.S citizenship anytime again. but she have to follow all the rules to get citizen like a new U.S ciziten applier.

That's not the truth. She's lying of she said that. We live in America and it has never happened. What's your native language and I'm going to translate to you in a private message. Most people on here divorce and marry other people and nobody looses their citizenship. It never happens

[Penguin_ie 5,986]

If someone is already a US citizen, I don't see how he or she can lose that status through divorce unless USCIS deemed that the initial green card was obtained fraudulently.

Something about this story is not right.

The above is correct. If she truly had US citizenship, the only way to loose it is if she got it fraudulently, in which case you will have a huge issue getting approved. Most likely she got her 10 year permanent greencard in 2009, and never applied for US citizenship.

****** English only in the immigration forums please. If you wish to type in a different language, you may do so in the Regional forums, and ONLY there. *****

yes she lost the citizenship for divorce her ex husband. Because he wasn't agree to divorce and he hadn't sign any kind of divorce proceeding paper. Even he don't hire any attorney for himself while the divorce case was running. It was happend at Michigan, USA

You are not listening. If she was legally granted US citizenship, she doesn't loose that through divorce. Get your facts straight before you embark on an immigration journey. Find out if she ever got US citizenship or what her actual resident status is like. This is gonna be critical to your potential visa.

Again, your girlfriend could not have:

1. Entered the US and gained citizenship after only 2 years.

2. Been a US citizen and as part of the divorce decree have had her citizenship revoked.

3. Been a citizen who was then "demoted" to a permanent resident under some nonexistent Michigan state divorce law.

4. Applied to "reinstate" her citizenship now that the divorce is over.

The 4 situations above did not happen. Not even one of them is possible. They did not happen in a row and not one of them happened on its own. This is not want you want to hear but your girlfriend is lying to you she insists this is true. Therefore I would:

A. Think twice about continuing a relationship without someone who is untruthful about her immigration status.

B. Demand the real story from her.

C. Think twice about marrying and trying to immigrate via someone who is lying about their immigration status.

D. Stop referring to her as your "US citizen" girlfriend.

If I were you. I would start at "B".

[Unidentified 2,930]

I see 3 scenarios here:

1. She has very bad English skills and doesn't know what she's talking about

2. She's naive and believed lies her ex husband told her about her immigration status

3. She is lying to you

I have a divorce under my belt and also got my citizenship 15 years ago -- the only thing I lost was my fish tank, savings, some sleep and an ex. I have walked away with all that I needed and cared for, my kid & peace of mind (and yes, my citizenship!). My citizenship never came up during the divorce proceedings nor would it ever come up!

There are some rare cases where a naturalized US citizen can have his/her citizenship revoked. You have had some excellent replies here, however if you cannot take our word for it, follow this link and read it directly from the "horses" mouth, so to speak -- https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartL-Chapter2.html

My best to you...

I agree. This definitely does not seem possible nor likely. It sounds like there is a miscommunication going on between either you two, or between her and USCIS. They don't just strip you of your U.S. citizenship even if you were naturalized for a reason such as divorce, it would have to be something very severe and significant, and like previously mentioned there is almost no way they would just hand her a green card after that if that is what actually happened. Maybe she is and always has been a legal permanent resident, I'm not really sure but there is definitely a form of miscommunication or misunderstanding going on here. As also previously mentioned, the age gap doesn't seem to be an issue as long as you can provide evidence of you two having a legitimate relationship such as pictures, constant communication, (skype, viber, whatsapp, facetime, facebook,etc) and evidence of any visits to the U.S. or to your country on her behalf. (think passport stamps, itineraries, flight tickets/boarding passes,etc)

And what it boils down to us no one here can really help you since we don't know the status of girlfriend and since the story you've given makes no sense no one can answer your question about visa approval since the situation you've outlined is just not possible. So no, we can't ignore the whole citizenship thing because you're entire chance of being successful depends on the truth.

[skidivawannabe 2]

I'm with everyone else here. Something is off with the inquiry. Either the GF is sketchy, the OP is about to enter a fake, not-bonafide marriage or we're all misinformed and it is really possible to lose citizenship within the timeline explained.

[mindthegap 2,521]

I see 3 scenarios here:

1. She has very bad English skills and doesn't know what she's talking about

2. She's naive and believed lies her ex husband told her about her immigration status

3. She is lying to you

I vote

4 - All of the above
