Do anyone know if an immigrant that have received an American Citizenship ever been deported back to their country due to Marriage Fraud?

he came here with conditional green card now his 2 yrs is almost up.

Hello all I need information on filing a 9 yr old dependent separely from the father. the 90 days rule dosen't apply with him so he has to file alone. Have anyone had to file this I-751 for a dependent without the parent. If so please let me know what documentation I need to send in with the paperwork.

thanks.

Obviously he changed his own name at some point of time and then he changed his name back to his Muslim name.

Today my friend husband went to Ghana Embassey for his 3rd interview and he was given a 221g form. He was also informed that his paperwork would be sent back to NVC and then NVC will forward it to USCIS. He also said that the consular gave him his Marriage Certificate back to him. They told him that the Petitioner shouldn't call in those 6 months to inquire. There were a lot of red flags before he even went to the Embassey. The name change to Muslim name, American name and then back to muslim name. Have this every happen to anyone you know of?

Need advice. My husband have received his green card n have gone back to Ghana to take care of personal business. I wanted to know do u all think my stepson interview can be expedited since my husband is already over there. My stepson paperwork is with the Nvc and I'm just waiting on them to look at the package n get interview date. So do you all think I should get it expedited or just let Nvc set up the interview date. Will it be sooner with the embassy of not. Please help. Thanks

Wow God Is Good My Husband's Visa was approved!!!!!! The End of the Madness now!!!! And guess what I love my Husband more and more each day!!!

Definitely yes, he will be questioned about his previous attempt, change of name and he will be questioned about if the relation is genuine or just for the immigration purpose.

Ghana is on high fraud list and especially with a case where there was previous denial and change of name it raises all the question of fraud.

WOW. Me and Her was talking and she is thinking the same thing. so do you think they will eventually let him come to the U.s. She is now thinking rather or not when the time comes if she will go an attend his interview, because she don't want to be questioned about something she don't know about...

Hello VJ'ers I have a friend that is married to a Ghanian. After they were married he shared with her that he have had an interview with the Embassey about 2yrs ago. But he was applying for a work visa but was denied because he didn't know alot of information about the job that he was intending to do in the U.S.

After being denied and fingerprinted at the embassey, he has changed his name to his christian name. the type of job he put on the paperwork is not the job he is actually doing. The wife have applied for a cr1 visa for him. Do you all think he will have a problem at the interview and will they bring up the change of name and the type of job he is working. they haven't gotten there interview date as of now.

thanks

Packet 3 contains Checklist of things to gather (passport, birth cert, I-134, photos, divorce decrees, etc.).

DS-156 & 156-K

DS 230

Medicals instructions and forms

Packet 4 is your interview appointment letter with the interview date. In Ghana these are given

on the same day on Wednesdays once you have your letter from the embassy to pick up your appointment letter.

Good luck.

Ok thanks. We received our letter from NVC in our email. but I don't know about the ds156 forms. I will check this out.

Can someone inform me on what is Packet 3 & 4 that you have to pick up from the embassey??? What does this packet includes??

Have anyone ever got there case expedited from the USCIS and received this message from them:The California Service Center has approved your request for expedited handling of your I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. As a result, we have pulled your case for immediate adjudication. You should receive a notice of action* within 7-10 days. what does this mean? Will they rush the paperwork to the NVC. Is this normal for them to get back with you this early with an explanation?

Do anyone know weather or my stepson can accomany my husband to the US. My stepson USCIS paperwork haven't yet been approved since 7/26/11. its still pending. so since its not approved and my husband have his interview date on March 1 can he just pay the fees there for his son???

Called UsCIS today I got my stepson case expedited. I received an email today as well from them which stated this message:The California Service Center has approved your request for expedited handling of your I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. As a result, we have pulled your case for immediate adjudication. You should receive a notice of action* within 7-10 days." So does anyone know what this mean???

Before I left I paid for everything. When I arrived I did not have to pay. Did you pay the immigrant visa fee and the AOS fee. I think that was the $88 and the $404 if so then you should be finished. The appointment letter will have a $ where is says money if paid. Let me know what the letter says and make sure you have the tax transcripts. Will you be coming to Ghana for the interview. I will be gone by then just curious. Have you been watching the approvals seems they are approving right and left in Ghana. Good Luck to you.

hello. I did pay the $88 and the $404 already. and it does have a $ meaning paid. ok I thought he would have to pay for the visa, fingerprints. but yes I will be there for the interview and I can't wait to see my husband. But I worry about my step son with is 6yrs old his paperwork haven't been approved with the USCIs since 7/26. i called them and tried to get it expedited under humanarity so i don't know if that will work or not. I'm just praying that God will work it out for us. so when are you leaving ghana i will arrived there on 2/24 at 1pm.

what kind of interview are you going for ? and how many people are to benefit from the application?

its a CR1 but i have already paid NVC the $88 and $404.

It's Our time to Interview. Please tell me on how much money we need to bring to the interview. please help me on this...thank you.

Inspite of all of the confusion. God has worked it all out. Its was lack of communication and its all resolved. God is continously blessing our marriage. The devil was trying to steal our joy but it did work!!!! And I give all thanks to my Almighty God. If you look at my profile page you will see how I have been blessed to outline our future thur God. This morning I woke up God was still working it out he has given us our INTERVIEW DATE ON MARCH 1st. Praise his HOLY NAME. Trust In God in all that you do!!! Be Blessed my fellow visa Journeyers. May God bless you all!!! America_Girl

I would not like to be put in this situation because it could be good or bad. What ever the surprise may be he or she should have waited until they got to US to tell you. This will give me a headache and raised my blood pressure. i will ask for them to tell me because I'm worried . Y would some1 in there right mind want you to wait until they get the US to tell you a surprise???? its not like its going to be 2morrow. No they would have to tell me. this process is already intense and you don't need anything adding to the fire.

Hi: Thanks for adding more coloring on your situation. I think you have good instincts and you are no spring chicken as they say. This sucks, very hurtful, my heart goes out to you, but I think you will be ok, you do not have rose colored glasses on which can get us in trouble in relationships. You know, my family is from Liberia, West Africa, and the men there tend to have a lot of women, I see it with the men in my family, generalizing never really describes a unique person well, but he may truly love and care for you, but old habits die-hard with womanizing men. The women in Liberia just accept it from what I have seen due to the country being a male dominated country.

I think that is great you are going to talk to him, get real with him, may I suggest that you do not accuse him but simply ask him to explain himself. State the facts that you have, state how that looks to you and ask him to explain himself and why you should think anything different. At first, take a soft position that you really hope this is not true and that he needs to explain to you why you are wrong. You seem to have good judgement, I have always contended that people with good judgement that do not have rose colored glasses on can sniff out the green card sharks eventually. Anyways, I am no marital counselor, but my heart goes out to you, you seem like a real sweetie. Orando

Yes I will take your advice I'm planning on being very soft with him when we talk. I'm expecting the truth to be revealed today because life is to short to be with someone planning games. I have always been skeptical of people and more so of the people that is trying to come to the states. I have asked him before is he just trying to get the states for a better life. but of course he says hes not. but if he gets here and thats what it turns out he will have hell on his hands. I will make his life a living hell and a nitemare here. he will be wishing he was make in Ghana. Now that this has came up I am petitioning for his son which is 6yrs old to come with him, but his case haven't closed with uscis and that was July 26 i filed. but I think that will be put on hold i will not pay NVC anything to process that paperwork now. i'm done if he makes it here he will have to file for his son to come.

Bottomline is, while there are many 'marriage-in-good-faith' through long-distance relationships, there are also a bunch of 'greencard-based' marriages. You're the only one who can tell as to whether or not he's trying to use you to get to the States. You have to be sensitive to your heart and feelings. That's the way God leads us. Whether or not you feel secured with him is for you to judge. Come hell or high water nobody knows anybody's head. God allows certain circumstances to help us make decisions. I will tell the truth even at the point of a breaking engagement than to lie and run a definite risk of marital disharmony so if my partner lies to me, it's a big deal. It will be more painful to bring him over only to realize your suspicion was right that he has a Mrs back home. You can ignore your heart, reasoning, and feelings and move on with him. But, whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

I feel secured with him when we are together and when we are not, but last nite was the bomber. I feel deep down that he loves me, but who knows about people they will show you one thing and do another. I'm worried about if he does come here and getting settle and situated what then. and if he does have a Mrs back home I'm wondering where or what was she doing while I was there with him. hmmmm could he just be trying to get here on my merit to bring her later?????? that's a good question...then i will be really be pissed. its a gamble in a relationship you never no how its going to play out.

Hi: Is there a difference between leave and vacation at his job? At my job, leave usually means medical leave, disability leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, etc. Vacation is a separate type of being away from work. His job says he was on leave, he says he was not on "vacation", so maybe in his mind he does not think he is lying to you about that. This may be semantics and much to about nothing with what I am saying. Just saying, there may be something up at his job, they are telling you he is on leave, for all of January it appears, is that normal for his job to take leave for a month? There may be the possibility that there is something happening with his job that he does not want to tell you about. His job could be telling you he is on leave and not really telling you what is up, the fact that the job would discuss his work situation with you would cause me not to trust the associate at his job. If he was having an affair, you would think he would come up with a better lie, or he is just a bad liar and good thing you caught this red flag now. Has he taken this kind of leave before, if he does have a mistress, you may have observed some hints of this behavior before if you all have been together for a while? Just a thought, I do not know your situation or what you are going through. Orando

Hello yes at his job they take a month off for vacation every year. but he told me about a month ago maybe that the managers would have to tell them on when they could take there vacation time starting this year. So when i called his job last nite one of his coworkers told me that he was on leave as they say since jan and want return until March. We have been talking for almost 2 yrs now. I've been over there 2 times. and he is a bad liar. He can not tell a good lie. when I was in his country I caught him in a lie and he confessed and told the truth. so i an always tell when he's lieing he's not a professional!! he start stumbling over his words... but when I was with him he showed me the best time, he was very sweet,gentle and caring. He never made feel like he was really hiding something when I was there and each time i stayed about 16days. i really enjoyed myself with him. this behavior here that he protrayed last nite was just out of character he has never done this before so I don't know what is going on. but i definely feel that he was with some1 last nite. because he always take my phone call or he will immediately call me back. but something was just different last nite. So today i'm a little calmer then last nite so i will talk with him today when calls me back. I think i will let him know that I know that he is on vacation or leave or what ever they call it over there.

Divorce is such a big step. I agree with others take your time. I wish I knew where he was I would go and investigate for you. I am not above it. I hate liars.

yes I wish you could investigate him to for me.

Hi Evoria you are right divorce is a big step and I really don't want to go thru it, but I'm just thinking about him coming here with me how will things be will he still be telling lies. So I'm in a rock and a hard place right now. I just can not believe this is really happening with us being so close. I'm just wondering is this my sign for God to find out now and leave him in his own country.

Yes, take a breath and take your time..... see what happens first before you contact the NVC..... you have time on your side now...

I am so sorry for what you are going through right now and my prayers are with you....

Thank you please keep me in your prayers. I'm just waiting on God right now. I know that he will work everything out. Its just so hard when you really love that special person and you think you have your soul mate and then the lies comes out. But everything will be ok.
