Got a second interview for citizenship

[Kevin131993 0]

Hello everybody , 

 

My name is Kevin , I’m in a very bad situation right now and I’m trying to find some help . I’ve been looking everywhere , talked to a lawyer and still don’t understand ...

 

I came here to the us in 2012 , I married someone that I was in love with , got my green card for 10 years , everything went very smooth with immigration and with my interview . After 2 years of marriage I divorced , 3 years later I applied for citizenship and wait about a year to have my interview . I did very good for my interview and been accepted , got the letter for the oath ceremony . Until here everything is ok until I decided to reschedule my ceremony because I had to go back in my country because my father was very sick... I’ve been waiting for them to reschedule my ceremony and I got a letter for a new interview , I tough was a mistake but I still went there for this interview. As soon I got inside the room was 2 officers waiting for me to question me , the interview was approximately 1 hour and half asking me a lot of questions about my marriage , divorce , life style , address that I’ve been moving ... very stressful ! I don’t understand what was the reasons this happened to me .

 

I went to see my lawyer and He told me that my citizenship should be denied 99% sure and if they’re catching a fraud they can start to do a procedure of green card removal .

 

How this is possible ? 

 

Can they remove my green card if I worked illegally on the territory , thing that I always told them I didn’t ? 

 

Anybody ever had the same experience than mine in the past ? 

 

Thank you 🙏🏼

So, did you work illegally? It’s not clear whether you did or didn’t. 

 

Since you weren’t married at the time of filing, you have to have been a resident for 5 years.  What is your “resident since” date on your GC and when did you apply for citizenship? 

[Georgia16 2,858]

Did you file for ROC? And did you file with a divorce waiver or what? 

 

Can you you put a more specific timeline of everything that happened. 

 

You said you married someone and was and was married for 2 years yet got 10 year GC.

What exactly was the reason your lawyer told you for denial?

[Kevin131993 0]

I was married for 2 years and them divorced , I got only one interview because she’s from Cuba and after that I got my 10 years green card , didn’t need a second interview .

 

Yes I did work illegally here in America before to get married to survive and told them I never worked illegally to not be in trouble...

 

I got my green care 2012 and apply last year , I’ve been waiting for 5 years yes .

 

Everything went very good and I got the letter for oath ceremony and i just reschedule

Though your story is not perfectly clear, you've openly admitted you lied in order to get immigration benefits, which is considered material misrepresentation and is grounds for a lifetime ban.

Isn’t working without authorization forgiven when adjusting through IR USC?

Well yes it is. But for it to be forgiven you have to admit to it. You still have to answer the question truthfully. That question is asked on the N-400 at least (possibly during AOS and ROC also but I haven’t been through either of those). Just because it’s forgiven doesn’t mean you can lie about it. There is no forgiveness for anyone for lying about anything. 

[JFH 12,189]

I don’t understand why there was no ROC and what his ex-wife’s Cuban heritage has to do with anything. If he was mistakenly given a 10-year GC instead of a 2-year one (and that happens a lot), then he should have notified USCIS and got that fixed. I see a few potential problems here.

I-485 does ask that question.

[Georgia16 2,858]

How did you get here?

 

I still can't add up why you should have a 10 year GC because your wife is also a Cuban and not only a USC. were you Cuban or where are you from?

 

Your timeline again can you out that up.

 

Came date:

Married date:

Got GC interview/approved date:

Applied for USC:

Interview for USC:

 

and so on.

Only way it could make sense is if the wife is not american but only a Cuban GC holder and therefor he got CAA through her and that would have given him a 10 year GC from the start. But until he comes with a timeline and detail we will not know what is going on.

I think that’s it. I’ve just re-read his post and realized I mis-read that the wife was a USC. But he doesn’t say that. So it’s possible that’s she a Cuban LPR.
