Hi ,Beautiful People! Is there anybody here that have similar situation as mine or knowledge about my situation? I will have my interview at the end of the month. I wonder if they still ask about my marriage if I have been here since 2012 . Thank you for all your help.

I would  disclose at the interview or consult with an immigration attorney 

Yes, I will honestly share it if I'm asked. Funny you mentioned about an immigration attorney coz i tried calling one and still waiting for a call back. Thank you for all your help.

Your marriage is applicable to the three year rule.  After five years it’s all you.  Congrats 👍

I think you should volunteer the information.

If there is nothing “compromising” in your background (i.e. criminal record or the like), you don’t need an attorney. You are allowed to get divorced or separated, so that’s nothing to be worried about, and the fact that you got divorced/separated from your spouse alone won’t work against you. If you’ve had your GC since 2012, your marriage doesn’t factor in anymore for your naturalization. Good luck with the interview! 

Thank you for all your help. truly appreciate it.

That’s not entirely correct. I got naturalized on a 5 year rule and was still asked questions about my previous marriage even though I was divorced. They made a copy of my present marriage certificate also.They can ask questions to that direction. It all depends on the interviewing officer I guess.

That’s factually inaccurate and misleading. At your N400, your last step in your immigration journey, they have the right to probe into everything in your history including the marriage that gave you permanent residency. Five year qualification criteria simply means unlike under the 3 year criteria, the focus won’t be on your marriage so you won’t have to carry along evidence of you being in marital union.

 

However if there’s any illegality or non admissibility somewhere in your case all the way back to even a visitor visa you received, they can go back in time and revoke.

 

Nothing to fear if you don’t have any skeletons. Good luck!

 

PS: I am just seeing the other responses similar to mine
