What can I do in this case?

[Kaykay2019 5]

Hello everyone,

 

I will be filing for my current fiancé when we do get married hopefully at the end of the year. I have been married before, and I sponsored my ex-husband, but I don’t remember date that we submitted the adjustment of status (AOS) application. There is a question on I-130 that asks whether you have sponsored someone before and asks to provide the date. I remember the month and year, but not the exact day. I have pleaded with my ex husband to provide it to me, but he denies having it which I think is a lie. Our marriage ended bad because he didn’t want the divorce even though he was unwilling to make the marriage work for me. Has anyone been through a similar situation? If yes, what did you do to overcome the issue?

First, the I-130 asked if you petitioned, not sponsored, somebody before.  If you know the month and year, that's good enough, but it's the date you filed the I-129f petition, not the date you filed the I-485.  Just enter the first day of the correct month and year, as best you can.

Thanks for explaining the difference between the two. I didn’t file I-129f for my ex husband. We met and got married while he was in the US on a student visa. So we filed an AOS.

Ok, I thought as much but I was afraid they will have a problem with me not knowing the exact date it was filed.

In that case you would have filed the I-130 concurrently with the I-485 normally.

Yes, that’s what we did and we had an interview where his conditional green card was approved.
