We submitted our I751 packet at the start of September and have gotten an appointment for my wife's biometrics, but I am very worried going into the interview.

We've been going through a rough patch for a couple months now, and there are some very real questions about our compatibility and the future of our relationship. The timing is really terrible... we have a real relationship, but I feel weird going to an interview to defend it when it make be coming to an end.

Have other people on this forum had similar experiences? What does USCIS do in this case? Is the ROC a Pass/Fail situation, or could the conditions be extended to give us time to figure things out?

2013.1.7- I-129f mailed to Texas Lockbox (with correct fee this time--> Delivered 2013.1.8 (priority date)

2013.5.29- RFE mailed--> 2013.6.3 RFE arrives --> 2013.7.3 Forms mailed back to CIS via DHL--> 2013.7.5 CSC confirms receipt of evidence

2013.7.26- I129f approved! --> 2013.8.16- NVC confirms receipt of petition

2013.8.30- P3 arrives at fiancee's home --> 2013.9.8 P3 documents mailed to GUZ

2013.9.20- P4 email arrives

2013.10.25- Medical exam; 2013.10.28- Interview--> APPROVED!

Hi,

For the ROC you may not get called for an interview if your evidence is strong. However, if things end up not working out and you get a divorce, she must notify USCIS and they will change her ROC from a Join petition to a Divorce Waiver application. She can still get her 10 yr green card even if you divorce however she will still need to provide all supporting evidence that the marriage was entered in good faith.

More over, do not lie to immigration ever. So if you end up going to an interview because you are still married and working on your relationship and questions are risen about your marriage answer truthfully and explain your situation. All couples struggle and go through rough times, but make sure if you get divorced that USCIS knows about it.

Besides, even if you do have to go for an interview, the issue they're trying to establish is NOT whether you will be together forever, but RATHER: did you enter into the marriage for legitimate reasons. Obviously you did, and that's all you have to prove.

 

Is your timeline updated?

In the U.S., when you're married, YOU'RE MARRIED. The QUALITY of the marriage relationship is not an issue.
