Good Morning Friends.. Long Story..I wish to thank each and everyone here for the guidance,directions and advices given to me during this whole headache America journey right from the beginning of a visas processing, Adjustment of Status,Removal of Conditions and to the Citizenship.. My journey was really a hectic one and during my stages, i felt like giving up but finally, I'm now Happy man. IT PAYS TO WAIT!! Little about my journey. We started the process in 2010 after my soon to be my ex visited me in 2009.Everything was okay then.After she returned to the states and we decided to file a K1 visa, she loosed her job and as i was working in my home country, I tried my best to send her the money for her to file and keep help her financially sounds untill she found another job..I was finally called for interview for my visa in November 2011. Everything went well but i was put into AP for 1 year. It came to a time that i decided that, let me just forget about the visa and America. I was finally called to go and updates my medical and police reports which i did and when i returned those documents to the embassy, i will given a blueslip to pick up my visa on 28th December 2012. I finally come to USA on 6th April 2013. We got married and i finally found out many reasons why the embassy put me on AP for that long.1. My Wife was on section 8, She was taking assistance from agencies to pay even her lights and other bills.. On foodstamps and manymore.. To make this marriage work for both of us, i asked her to get a new appartment which i will take responsibility of the rents and she can just be paying the lights bills and gas. She agreed and convinced me that she talked to the section 8 people and they have agreed for us to be paying $700.00. I was like okay. Every month, i make sure i give her the money to pay the bills and buy groceries for the house. Put gas into her car for her to be taking me to work during the night as i was working at Gas stations then. My soon to be my ex will not bother to take me to work anytime i filled up her jeep of $70.00 of gas by then the gas price was over $3.00 and i had to call some friends to be taking me to work..I was asked oneday by a friend that they way she is treating me,he think she might not be paying the rents therefore he adviced me to ask my wife if i can see the bills. Anytime i asked her to see the rent bills, she will get mad at me and then I noticed that something is not right..I told her that i cant continue working at gas stations. I need a better job with benefits and good remuneration and before i can do that i have to save some money to pay for my Adjustment of Status which was $1,070.00 then. She  wasn't in favor of that but i must do it.I filed it. Went to the interview and got my conditioned greencard in March 2014. Every trust started falling out when i oneday opened the mail and found our rent bills. And to my surprise, soon to be my ex was only paying $194.00 and still under section 8 but keep taking $700.00 from me each month. I was pissed off about that and when she came home, i confronted her whats going on why is she doing this?.. She rather was mad at me that why i opened her letter lol.. I was really confused but all i was trying to do is for us to have a good life together. I finally had to get me my own apartment when police arrested my step son for selling weed in the house. According to the police, the house is been used as a storage of weed.I dont want to go to jail with something i know nothing about.I left the house to go stay by myself. She cant afford the 194 a month anymore and had to moved to her mother's house. Her son again went and shoot someone in the leg and he had to be sent to prison for 5 years in 2014.She was depressed and kept calling me asking me to forgive her for us to move back together.. I feel sad for her and her mother said Alex i want u to come lives with us for u to be the man in the house. I feel bad and terminated my lease and pay any fees applied and moved to live with my ex to be soon and the mother. 6 months after i moved back with them oneday when i came back from work, my mother inlaw was not in the house when i asked my soon to be ex about her whereabout, she said she took her mother to a nursing home without even telling me. I felt so sad and angry. Anytime i visited my inlaw at the nursing home, she alway cry to me to take her home. She will always wanna go with me to her house and the nurses at the facility has to convince her that Alex is not leaving yet. I decided not to go visit her nomore.At her mother's house, the same issue about not paying bills.. She switched most of her bills into her late sister's names and anytime i asked her why, hell break loose.Now for my removal of condition, i filed on 16th Feb.2016. Had interview on October 12, 2017 (18 months before interview)and still no decision till March 16 2019 when the card was mailed to me. Filed my citizenship on February 2019 base on 5 years rules. Went to Biometric appointment on 26th March 2019. Interview on August 6th 2019 and still no decision after passing all the tests.Request for Additional Evidence was Cancelled on 16th of August and my oath ceremony was scheduled on the 24th September 2019.

MORAL OF MY STORY: Do not be afraid if your case is pending for long time. If your marriage is legitimate and both of u are seperated or divorced, You will surely be APPROVED. When i told the officer who interviewed me that she kicked me out and called police so many times on me anytime  i didnt give her the cash but paid the insurance myself and other bills, She(officer) laughed loud..And I asked her to put separated on my certificate of naturalization but she said they dont have that one lol. Married/Single/Divorced. Noo Separated!!!

 Hello everyone. I Received both recommendation for approval  and in line for oath ceremony update this morning. How long does it take for the letter to arrives in mail??

Hello brothers and sisters, i filed my citizenship application based on 5 years rule this year. I went to the interview on 08/06/2019. I passed every texts but the IO did not approve me but rather gave me a form with a check on it that " A Decision Can Not Be Made". Today i received a case updated text saying that A request for additional evidence has been cancelled. Does it mean that i am approved?? Thanks in advance

You had a ROC interview 17 months ago?

 

Biometrics at an Infopass is odd, not totally unheard of, but strange. Do you have a "clean" past? Any flags in your marriage to a USC?  Or have they confused you with someone in New York? 

Hi yes we went to the interview on October 12,2017 and the officer said u are approved and u will have ur card in weeks time. I went to the office  like 7 times already requesting about what's going on and during one of my visit,I met the officer who interviewed us and he was like ,u still haven't received ur card yet? I said Yes and he came to the window and told the other officer that,he approved me. So I really don't know what to believe now. Well they are taking everyone who is there for a stamp on their passport index fingerprint. It's not a whole fingerprint but just only index one and then they will take u photograph. Well I never lived in New York

Hello friends. I went in for my third ADIT( I-551 stamp on my passport yesterday. My case is pending adjudication after the officer said i was approved at the interview on October 12,2017.This petition was received on Feb 16,2016. Anytime i booked infopass  appointment and go to the local officer,they kept on taking a pics of me and taking index fingers prints (I saw officers taking others index fingers and pictures as well) . Now yesterday when i went there,the officer asked me if i moved or Change Address from New York to North Carolina. I said No Officer!. I never lives in any other states. I lives and still living in Greensboro,North Carolina since i came to USA in 2013 and I'm in the same County.Where did they get that New York thing from?? Also i just mailed out my N-400 last Saturday base on 5 years residency and it was delivered on Tuesday and i'm waiting for NOA from the USCIS. I had emergency home and i need to go to my country for a month and my job approved me to go. Can i use the stamp on my passport to go and come back without any headache? Did i need to get a lawyer for this after i even filed all the petitions myself??

Hello Honorable Members,

I Need Advice Please,I am Still Waiting For My 10 Years GC After Interviewed in 10/12/2017 And Approved. The GC Refused To Arrives And With Too Many InfoPass Appointments Yielded No Results.They Kept Saying My Case Is Waiting To Be Adjudicated. Its Almost 3 Years When I Filed Now. Today I Went To Another InfoPass Appointment And The Officer Had To Take Photograph Of Me After Looking Into My Case .He Also Fingerprinted My Index Fingers. Now What Really Does This Means? Does It Means My Photograph Is No More In Their System And Fingerprints Also Disappear??? So Confuse And I Need Help. Thanks

my bro yes still nothing. when i went to the infopass appointment today,the officer said my case is still waiting to be adjudicated. I asked adjudication taking over a year and he said yes.My question is,why did he have to take photograph and index fingerprints when adjudication is still going on??? Does it mean my fingerprints and photos submitted are no more in their system?

Hello Friends,I was here some weeks ago regarding my current situation with my wife as she kicked  me out just because she wont pay the bills and how she kept on calling Police anytime i asked her about why she kept on over drafting our joint account anytime my direct deposit hit the account.What She kept on doing is that,She will first Withdrew the cash out and leave like a dollar in and then  make another withdrawal the next time that will send the account into over draft with extra over draft $35 fee.As some of you guys advice me to do, i did by changing my address with the USCIS even though i don't have a permanent place as at now but i'm  getting myself together to get me my own place. Now this My case to RC has been stuck with this USCIS for Years Now.So many info pass appointment after we both went to RC interview didn't yield any positive result as what i kept on hearing is that,my case is still pending.Now i went to 5th Info pass yesterday 30th August 2018 and when i told one of the female officers on the window about my situations,she asked for my almost 3 years expired green card and type somethings in her computer and she was like somethings is not right on your case.She asked me if i still know the name of the officer that interviewed us and i said Yes and I mentioned his name to her.She asked me to sit down and she will be back.She went to the back for like about 30 mins and then come back.Few mins later,the officer who interviewed us about a year ago and said that i was approved came out and asked me whats going on..I told him that,I still haven't received my 10 years green card.He said I approved u and your file even is no more in our office here.Your file is gone to NVC and u could have had ur card by now.He asked me if i come here with my passport but i said no because i still had a stamp in my passport that is good till April of next year.He told me that,if i didn't get my card like in 2 weeks time,i should come back to the office with my passport for him to stamp in 10 years. Has anyone here passport been stamp with 10 years when he/her 10 years green card refused to come?? I need advice. Thanks

Look At The Email I Just Received From USCIS Fri

Thank to everyone for the help once again. @ Damara and Cablewyres To answer ur questions, The Last time i went to the info pass was April of this year when i get my passport stamped again with the I-551. Yes we have contacted the Ombudsman office and they also contacted the USCIS and then emailed us within some months later that the USCIS told them that they have made a decision on my case in may 23rd of this year and that they are closing the case but when we called USCIS,They said they don't know where Ombudsman office got that decision info from,funny! And yes i went to the same field office that interview me for the stamp and when i asked them about the cause of my delay,they dont tell me anything specifically..

No Kids, No Assets,The divorce will go smoothly because there is nothing to fight about and we don't starts the divorce process yet because in the state of NC,u have to be separated for a year before u can file for a divorce.

I now knew that verbal approval mean nothing but why the immigration officer had to said that I am approved when he knew I wasn't?? Anytime I called, the customer service representatives,they  kept reading the same words I also see when I am checking my status that my case was received February 16, 2016 and blablabla. Anytime I requested to talk to Tier 2 office,they will ask to call me back and when they did,The Tier 2 office will say that my case is still pending approval. So my worried and my concern is that,why would I be verbally lied to by the immigration officer that interviewed me that I was approved??? 

Nobody advice me during the interview to go for stamp in my passport. Ok here is it.. I got my first Green card  issued to me on March 28,2014. We filed the ROC and it was received on Feb 16,2016 and I was issued extension letter for a year which expired next year  on the the date and month my first Green card expired which will be March 28,2017. I didn't get interview date while my extension letter is about to expire. So I went to the field office and get my passport stamped with I-551 which will be good again till March 28 2018. So on October 12 of 2017, We were called for interview and after the interview,the immigration officer said I was approved and that I will be having my 10 yrs Green card within weeks. The card wasn't coming and my I-551 on my passport also expired so I went to the field office again to get the second I-551 in my passport that will be good till April 03 2019 because I was a bit late when I made the info pass,so my passport was stamped again with I-551 and that will be good till April 03 2019

Ok but what is making it so long for the card to be mailed? October 12 will be 1 year after the interview and still no card. Anytime I called and speak with Tier 2, they only apologized and said it's pending and still at the field office where we went to the interview.Sometimes tier 2 will help by sending case enquiries to the field office about the case. They will reply some to me and some they just dont reply. I was given too many 90 days that are gone and still pending without decision. Why would they officer told me that I am approved and that I will have my card within weeks in the mail but almost a year still no card? I'm confused about this

Yes I got the stamp in my passport till April 2019 and yes  I was advised sometimes ago on here to go to post office and buy box to forward my mails from the old address to the PO box which I did.

But what's really holding them to send me the card? I made so many info pass and they kept on saying pending even though the officer after the interview that I was approved. This whole process is too much headache

Ok and thank u very much but do I still have to go there and tell the office that me and my wife are separated as my 10 yrs card is still on pending even though I was verbally Approved by the officer??

Thank you very much but do u mean that I have to go to interview again because I said,both of us went to my removal of condition application in October last year and got approved. All that we were waiting for is the 10 yrs card until the separation came in this year July 1st

I'm here again friends and  amiable advisers. My case Of removing of condition was filed since Feb,16 2016. Went to the Interview since October 12, 2017 and the case is still pending.. I went to the USCIS website to change my Address as its required to do so if u are not living in the same address whiles ur case is pending. But when i entered my case number,it said it does not matched the form type i entered. I knew the Removing of Condition form is I-751. I also remembered that in one of my case inquiries,the respond that i received came up with different case number and when i added it,it matches my application. Now My Question is that,Now i have 2 cases number and both of the numbers are showing different dates like this..

First Case Number When I filed in feb,16 2016 Says

Yes I called the police when she kicked me out and changed the locks. It was night time  when she did that and when the police came,he asked me if I have anywhere to sleep for the night and then  come back later during the day for my stuffs and he asked me call them again when I am back for my things. My friend whom I am living with right now were at work then as he work third shift so I went to 24 hours Walmart parking lot and slept in my car till the morning. When my friend got home,he called me and I again called the police and they led me to get my stuffs outside. Police did not take any note during that time but I believe they will have a record in the downtown police department. I really thank each and every one for the help.I got the P.O.Box address as suggested.. Thank alot

i thank everyone of u with these great advises.I really do appreciate it.Will Do the PO box as suggested. Now living with one of my work mate for now till i get situated. Once again thank u all very much..

Hello everyone my story is long but I hope u will take ur time to read it and give me appropriate suggestions. I came here on K-1 visa. Married before my 90 days. Got my conditional Green card in March 2014 and I have some few concerns and anyone with good advice will be highly appreciated.. My wife kicked me out on 2nd July 2018 and that was our 5 years of marriage. The last one year in the marriage was really a hectic for me. She called police like 5 or 6 time on me but anytime the police come in and hear the 2 side,they kept on asking her that,she is wrong and they can't do anything for me just because I was asking her to pay bills especially car insurance, Duke energy,Water and cable anytime the money was given to her for those things. I remembered she got mad one time with one of the police officers that they always on my side whenever she called them. And that she gonna sue them but I really don't know how it ended up and since then she don't called police again till this time.  We are living in her mother's house and all the bills are in her late sisters name. Anytime I asked her to change the bills in our name,she will refused and finally she took her mother to a nursing home. That broke my heart so badly. 2nd July will be our 5 years of marriage.Though we  have been having marital problem as each couple do at times,the whole thing is that, most of the arguments happen when it's time for bill payments. Anytime my direct deposit goes into our joint account,she will withdraw the cash and then overdraft the account again.She work but her money dont go into our joint account.So sad. Now we jointly filed the remover of condition and that petition has been pending with the USCIS for over two years now. So many info pass appointments but nothing came up. The only answer to me is wait and that ur case is still pending. My case was file since February 16 ,2016, we went to the interview October 12 2017 and after the interview, the officer said we were approved and that the green card will be in the mail within weeks, still no card. I called many times but the same issue (pending) and I went there again in  April 2018 and that was 6 months after the interview to really know what's really going on and they again stamped my passport for the second time with I-551 and said my case is pending..I contacted a lawyer and he said the only thing I can do is to file citizenship now. And that will make them to make a decision on my case but he said he will suggest for me not to change my address now. Now my question is,if I don't change my address and a letter from the USCIS came and she refused to give it to me, what can I do? I called the police  to come to witness what she did by putting my things out and changing the locks. One of the police officers advice me that,I should just leave if not she can falsely accuse me of something that I didn't do like domestic voilence and that will be worse scenario for me . What really can I do now?? I need help please. Thank u all

thank u very much
