Left my wife, she made accusations with her family

[broma25 2]

My question is however, lets say i make it through and become an LPR. and i would still have roughly 2.5-3 years until i can apply for citzenship, within that time could i get a letter from USCIS asking me to come for an interview???? or once its approved from the service center thats it???

You would need to go through the whole process of removing conditions and becoming a permanent resident first. Once that happens then you file paperwork at the correct time for citizenship.

Concentrate on one stage of the process at a time and dont be worrying now about citizenship its way too far off!!

WOW! If I were in this situation I cannot simply think of wanting citizenship anymore.

My ex husband did the same to me, wrote to the powers that be, made accusations that the marriage was fraudulent, that I made misrepresentations. He sent at least a 20 page document My vawa case was investigated by ICE last January . I had a lot of documentation to show that our marriage was bone fide. The validity of our marriage was never questioned by ICE or anyone. I passed that requirement of VAWA with flying colours

I agree, worry about what steps you need to take now. Get a lawyer to help you through this.

First you do not have to apply for Citizenship.

Second if you have had conditions removed then unless there is something new that comes up, I do not see how it impacts naturalisation.

But as has been pointed out, first things first.

I sense the OP is asking about naturalisation because he seems to believe that it will ensure some sort of protection to his LPR status. I get this impression because he appears to be operating under an assumption that even after receiving LPR status once conditions are removed, USCIS can call him for a follow up interview, ex facto. The fact is that once an LPR without conditions, only a substantial claim of fraud could or would cause USCIS to consider rescission.

To be pedantic, one can apply for citizenship even if one has not yet received an approval on a petition to remove conditions from permanent residency if one satisfies all other requirements. Typically, in this sort of situation, should the alien's naturalisation interview be scheduled during the pendency of the I-751, the pending I-751 will be adjudicated at the same time as the naturalisation interview.

"Bumps in the road" means that if your wife and her family are compelling in their arguments to USCIS; if they provide documentation or evidence to refute your claim that the marriage was legitimate; if they provide USCIS with reason to believe that the marriage was entered into on your behalf solely for immigration benefit, then there is a chance, in fact, a good chance that you might be called in for an interview with an AO or an investigator in the Anti-Fraud Unit of your local district office.

Up to this point I would have said that you are worrying needlessly. However, "having a lease for a couple of years" that indicates that you and your wife cohabited, and other papers that "coincide with that", as you say, does not demonstrate a 'bonafide" marriage in my eyes, or in those of USCIS, for that matter. If you are resting your case on this type of documentation, "buckle up"!!!!

[babybunny 2]

what kind of visa you come here on CR1? well sounds like you came on CR1 since your talking removal of conditions. here is the thing. you can stay here 2 years. yeah yeah.

and you can remove the conditions on your own. yeah yeah. if you have proof to show you had a valid marriage entered in good faith i see no problem. but, that dont mean you cant be deported. My ex husband was deported he was here on CR1.

The problem I see with your post is basicly your all talking about saving your azz. but, your not saying how you want to save your marriage or make it work!! if you been abused where is the documentation? your gonna need it at your hearing.

Yes, it was a CR1, yes i have proof, (im guessing you DIDN'T read my post clearly), and under my understanding, NO you can't be deported just because of a failed marriage, when the divorce is final, i know the petition will have to be withdrawn and submitted again, which i will tick the box that the marriage ended in divorce, which i have far greater evidence for than i would being abused, even though the abuse came into it, and was one of the biggest factors..

By the way, a "hearing" is only for people that have to appear before an immigration judge.

Buddy. what makes you think you will not have a hearing?

see you THINK you got it all figured out. so why post on VJ- mr know it all.

your putting the cart before the horse. your talking about naturalization but,

you have not dodged the deportation bullet. - man phleaze.

I just wish you would STF UP already. I really wouldn't take anything this ignorant, uneduacted, lonely, DIVORCEE has to say.

Your so not even talking about me

I am married ...DUH

Ok then, if what i have doesnt demonstrate a "bona-fide" marriage in your eyes, or that of USCIS, then what would??? i have joint bank accounts, all the "typical" things a normal married couple would have except children (no use having a kid with someone you left now is it?, logically)

then what would be a bona-fide relationship???

There are many on here who are divorcees

Sorry Lisa,

My comment was not directed to all divorcees, I in fact am divorced also. I just directing it to the ignorant divorce. I can't stand people who think they know it all and then have to bash others, especially when they are just seeking help.

LMAO, maybe he is and maybe he isn't but I will have to ask him seeing as we do talk every time and again. If I may ask...... What is it you are trying to help "ME" with?? I have not asked for anything, I was commenting on an ignorant remark from someone who has nothing better to do than try and "ACCUSE" someone of saving his a!! to stay here, when the OP was only looking for help, not some ignorant remark from a insensitive know it all.

anyone know of any good immigration lawyers?? that actually fight for their clients and not just for the money you have to pay them???

Why in Hell would he want to save his marriage if he was being abused, what an idiotic remark. And you would be saving your azz to if you were in his situation. If you would of takin the time to read his first post instead of gloating over the victory of having your husband deported, then you would of known the situation. I wonder...... did you have your husband deported because he truly did something wrong or was it because you guys were not getting along. I am going to assume it is #2, NO doubt it was your attitude and way of thinking that caused it. WJR
