Hi All

 

I want to thank @mindthegap @Crazy Cat  @OldUser @Dashinka and more people from this forum for helping me with my previous question and I'm successfully made it back to US.

I'm really Sorry to ghost you guys, it was a tough few years and now I'm finally divorced.

I filed a new i751 with Divorce waiver and finalized my divorce last year after 6 years of marriage,18 month of divorce process, My x - spouse after getting a big chunk of money from my divorce reported USCIS marriage with a lot of fragmented documents that i married her for Green Card (combining the documents from divorce and transcript from our phone conversation the stuff that husband n wife talk when we are emotional or in the heat of the moment , I can go over the details later). I don't want to confuse y'all want to stay on track, i can tell more as we discuss.

 

I need help from you guys for my N400 i filed it online in USCIS website and filed i751 with attorney on a fixed fee basis but that time we didn't know she complained about me to the USCIS. 

The only way i found out was the documents got uploaded in my USCIS account ,She reached out to Biden's office, Senator, ICE, CBP and told them I'm a national threat , criminal you name it , on the other side i don't know what i need to prepare and carry with me when i go to the interview (for example tickets from trips to my home country, visit both of our families, therapy, couples therapy for 2 years, lease agreement, utility bills, divorce decree, Credit card bills

 

1. Can you guys help me with all these being said how can i prepare for the N-400 interview and i751 what to expect because of her big complaint. (I will talk to my attorney 2-3 times before my interview only for i751 since I'm on my own for N400)

 

I paid/filled my tax every year.

 

Thanks,

Paco.

 

Thank you for your time,

I would not go to I-751 and / or N-400 interview on my own. If you can take lawyer with you, it would be highly recommended.

 

Bring everything you have to prove bonafide marriage, from start to divorce.

Do you have any specific questions?

@OldUser - Thank you for your quick response, I have a lot of questions, and we can unfold one by one if that's ok.

i ll bring all the docs with me  but the tricky thing is i was at West coast when i filed my i751 2 years ago and now I'm at East coast and my interview is at Philly and my attorney who filed my i751 can't come in person , My question is can i hire different immigration attorney and take with me to the interview as u mentioned a just for the purpose of interview or does it have to same one?)

Yes i don't know how the N400 interview goes can you please tell what to expect and i know on the high level there will be questions about my marriage, communication and civic about the US( I don't know how many questions i need to get it right ? will that be written or oral and how this test will be ) I'm filing under 5-year rule and i have a clean record no DUI .

Yes you can hire an attorney to represent you at the interview. Or the one who can take over your entire case and deal with any possible RFE, NOID or denials after the interview.

Here's how my interview went:

 

Important differences: I already had I-751 approved, I applied for N-400 under 5 year rule, and I was and am still married.

People whose case are not simple should use a lawyer. Highly recommend it. Especially, reading what you wrote, please do not go for the cheapest one. Use one with plenty of experience.

Another vote to hire an attorney for this.  You need to be fully prepared.

If you are anywhere near New York City, I can personally recommend Noemi Masliah as an immigration attorney. 

 

Best to you in your process!

It'll either be fine or you will end up in the same situation as me....depending on what your ex spouse said to USCIS. 

No way of knowing in advance. I passed my N-400, piece of paper issued saying can't make a decision at this time, and it was then denied because of the still underlying I-751 issue. 

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

@mindthegap - She went ballistic like 150 pages of stuff mostly redundant and some or irrelevant includes the emailing the USCIS Fraud department and other agencies that i mentioned earlier. But did you have combo interview for your N400 or was it separate?

How did you learn about it? FOIA?
