Did the IO ask for the police report or arrest report? Thank you!!

My wife wrote this post, hope it will be helpful for others:
 
 

Last myUSCIS inbox inquiry I sent took around 8 days to get a reply.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Cadet_Organizations the reason the Cadets were set up was to deal with national threats to Canada. RCAD is not a paramilitary unit: RCAD is neither unofficial (it is official, the department of Defence sponsors it), nor does it act like a military.
 
It is however associated with the Canadian military. 
 
So I'd answer no to 15B and yes to 9A.

i got my ELIS number when i call to USCIS office

Filing online this month. Hopefully it's smooth sailing. Trying to get my application in before an amnesty is declared for undocumented immigrants. That may clog up the system if it is.

Alternatively you can call USCIS to see if they can help you. Else blank it is

I wire transfer directly from my TD account to my wife's Chase account. Costs like $35 or something like that. You just have to tell them what it's for. I say family bills since it's our rent payment. But they do Visa Debit cards now that she could possibly use without having to worry about $35 wire transfer fees.

There you go! He did not commit fraud when he recently entered the US and could probably adjust status.

Just to clarify---when u the package back----ur NOT going to have the actual Greencard----What you will have is the I-551 stamp in your Cdn passport. When you enter the POE, it gets endorsed, and then acts as your greencard, and is valid for 1 year-----and of course ur actual greencard should arrive well in advance of that. But that part of the process has changed since 2004 when I went through it, so I cant comment. cheers

I can't imagine it would, as along as you've paid before the USCIS receives your file from the CBP.

IF you only have 8 numbers on your visa stamp (under where it says registration number), then when you go to pay your IV fee and where it asks for your Alien number, you should enter A followed by a 0 then followed by your 8 digit number.
The registration number and Alien number are the same thing....just for the sakes of entering into forms etc. you will need to make the Alien number 9 digits preceded by A

Material misrepresentation is not necessarily fraud. Fraud is the willfull misrepresentation of a material fact. A fact is material if when you apply for a visa, the decision on the visa could be changed based on that fact alone or combined with other facts on the application. For instance, your marital status is material if USCIS would have denied you based upon the marital status (whether or not they denied you for other reasons). So assuming they approved you based on your previous application, if your marital status would have changed or influenced that decision in any way, then the fact is material. They did not approve you, but that does not mean the facts you represented in the application were not material. An example of a fact that is not material to the application is the date of signature. The date you signed the application would not influence the decision on your visa as to whether or not you were admissable, assuming the date was off by only a few days.
So the main question is, was this misrepresentation on the tourist visa intentional or was it a mistake? If it was not intentional, the onus is on you to prove that it wasn't. You can provide evidence if you applied for the visa while you were single but your status changed after you applied. Or you can show that you misunderstood the application because you were living alone at the time and you didn't realize that you had to put married. Or you can just tell them that you accidentally put your status as single out of habit because you were just recently married. You need to have a good reason for why the status on your tourist visa was incorrect. If the mistake wasn't intentional, then it wasn't fraudulent; it was merely a material misrepresentation and there is nothing dishonest about that.
I understand that there seems to be a small language barrier. Perhaps when you said you lied, you meant you misrepresented yourself by accident. I don't know. Only you can know that. If you lied, then it's fraud and you might not get to move to the US.

Wait for the notice and read it carefully. It will explain your options.

I just got the email with my interview appointment.. July 3rd.. Im a bit in shock how quick I got that, but really happy
Thanks everyone for the help and good luck... I hope everyone gets their case complete fast and an interview appointment

No one justified her actions from what I saw, we just don't want to play the OP's emotions against his wife and give him a good reason to entertain the idea that there is only one person who is wrong. It's a good way to get stuck into a mindset that everyone else is wrong and you're right (which is really a proud way to view yourself--I don't mean you, I mean a hypothetical person).
I just chalk it up to immaturity on both of their behalfs. You can't take what one side says as gospel truth. You know the other side has their side of the story, too.
On top of this, we don't want to judge either the OP or his wife. We are just trying to help the OP be understanding. Emotions are not all illogical. They are there for a reason. We just don't want to turn this into a pity party for the OP.
It sucks to fight, but in my opinion, the best way to go forward is for the OP to lead by example and to show love. If he keeps calm and is sensitive to her needs, she might calm down a little and rethink what she said. Obviously, if she wants to leave the marriage and he can't get her to rethink that, then there is nothing he can do, but no one can say he didn't try. I'm not saying his spouse wasn't wrong by what she said to him, I'm just saying it will do no good to blame her. The OP needs to take a look in the mirror to make sure nothing he did helped her come to her conclusion.
Because quite frankly, there's got to be more to the story than what the OP posted. I'm not deluded to think that there is an innocent party in these types of newly wedded fights. And unless she is literally mentally unstable (in need of pyschiatric help), the OP probably only put what he wanted us to know down. I know better because that's how I want to naturally think about things, myself. I want to blame others, even when I know that I did not play a role that would foster respect and love in a relationship.
My wife and I have had lots of fights, but if you really love someone, you'll show that love even when you feel like they don't deserve it; even when you don't feel their love at the moment.
For a mature person, it's not all about how your spouse reacts, it's how you react to how your spouse reacts. Be an example, because that's all you can be. Be the best husband you can be, because you made a commitment to her that you would love her in good times and in bad times. And that means loving her even when you don't quite feel up to it. That's real unconditional love. That's how men really are to treat their wives. Time to be a man.

I was a little concerned that the OP didn't sound as concerned about the relationship as he was about the greencard. Take care of the relationship first, then there won't be GC issues. I think that's what most posters are focusing on. But the bottom line is, the visa is relationship based. If the relationship is over, it doesn't make sense to immigrate, unless that is the real goal. If you are only looking to immigrate, and the relationship isn't the primary reason for it, I see a problem with the visa. If the relationship is the only goal, and it falls apart, so does the visa. If it doesn't fall apart there is no visa issue.
I don't know where there is any question about where the GC is mailed. If you're together, it will be to your address. If you're not together why are you still coming? Is the relationship really the reason for the visa, or is the visa the goal and the relationship only the means?
Good luck with that.

She might just be emotional right now as she has waited a long time for you. If you explain how it will help the both of you in the long run, and you keep calm and be sensitive to her, she might calm down.
Though, she mentioned something about bills. Are you trying to help her out with the bills? She might be in need of money and you could be neglecting her in this way. Consider talking to her about what would make it easier on her if you stayed where you are for the next month.

I would just move on. There are no consequences to her friend leaving. Everyone is free in the US to go wherever they want to go. It's not like she can force her friend to do anything. So she shouldn't feel responsible. It was her friend's decision and that's all that matters. Nothing can be done about it.
If she stays illegally, she risks deportation and being barred from the US.
If she doesn't have a way to immigrate, she should leave the US before her status runs out, otherwise she may not be allowed to come back unless that waiver is filed. If she filed it, then she might be allowed to wait until she can immigrate legally. Maybe she found someone and maybe she just thinks that she can stay. Who knows? I would just say move on with your life. Some friends aren't worth it. This one clearly isn't. And she isn't your friend's responsibility.

if a convicted child molester crosses the border into the USA, then I really do want his gear searched.
