Don't make her go back! It will be a lot of time apart!i married on a tourist visa, but It was not planned. so really I had no thing to worry about! my case got approved in 3.5 months.
I would say file I130/1485.You two did not plan to marry, so legally u are not committing any fraud.
But she was married, so she should try to prove at the time of interview that she was going through a separated when she got involved with u. They might not ask her that, but you should be prepared for that. Did they have separate bank statements? live apart? if so, that proves that they were not together.
if ur relationship is genuine, u have nothing to worry about.

My appointment was at 2:30P.M at San Antonio, Texas. I got there at around 12:45. The appointment letter says to arrive no earlier than 45 minutes from your interview time. But, the security guards let me in without hesitation. The guards were very friendly. I gave them my interview notice and they told me to sit down and wait to be called.
Around 2:30 P.M. I was called by the officer. He looked very professional; he made direct eye contact and asked if I came alone. He asked the question TWICE on the way to the elevator. I told him I was alone. (My husband was training at another duty station and could not attend)
As I am waiting for the elevator, he observed me again. The security guards were making direct eye contact. At this point, I just said “ I am really nervous sir.” They all smiled. In the elevator he started to telling jokes. This REALLY made me relax!
He lead me into his office, I am glad I didn’t sit down, because he instantly raised his right hand and I swore under oath.
These are the questions he asked me:
1) What does your husband do?
2) What isn’t he here? TDY(temporary leave for duty). Would you like to see his military orders? NO. That’s not necessary
3) What’s your full name?
4) What’s your birthday?
5) What’s your husband full name?
6) What’s your husband birthday
7) Where were you born?
8) Where was he born?
9) Has he ever been married before? How many times?
10) Have you ever been married before? How many times?
11) When did you divorce?
12) What’s his ex-wife’s name?
13) When was the last time you saw your ex-husband? I wondered why he asked this question. This is the one I didn’t prepare for. I assume he wanted to know if I was married or had been seeing my EX while I was with my current husband
14) Where did I meet my husband? Korea.
15) What were you doing in Korea? Teaching English
16) How long were you in Korea?
17) When date did you come America?
18) Have you been to American before?
19) Where is your visa to enter America? He looked at my passport like 4x. I had to keep explaining to him that I am Canadian. I don’t need a visa. We just get a B2 stamp in our passport and I can stay in the States up to 6 months as a tourist. Finally it clicked in his head!
20) Did we have a wedding or reception? I said no. I just came here to visit him. I had no plans to marry him so there was no wedding.
21) Have I met his parents? This was an important question to him as he observed me carefully as I answered......I told him I will go in September. His mother bought the ticket of us.
22) His mother will pay for BOTH of your tickets? Yes. I have the tickets if you wish to see(No, not necessary)
23) Where do his parents live? I could not pronounce the city well. So, I told him I had to look at my G325 to answer that.
24) Are his parents still together? Yes
25) Are my parents still together? No
26) Where does your dad live? Nicaragua
27) What’s your nationality?
28) He asked me everything on the i-485 relating to being arrested, having criminial record, being a prostitute, doing drugs etc......I said no, and he checked off no with his red pen.
29) What does your mother think of him?
It seems like a lot of questions. But, the interview itself only lasted 15 minutes. He was very professional and to the point. From time to time, he observed me as I answered questions, but he was more focuses on flipping through pages, hole punching, and taking some notes.
Finally he said that he will be issuing me a two year conditional green card. And, I should receive it within a few weeks. He said if I don’t receive in 3 months, I should be worried as it may have gotten lost in the mail. He stamped my passport with the 1-1551 and wrote down my alien #above it. He said while I wait for my green card, I can travel with the stamped passport with no problems
My advice is to people calm. Answer the questions truthfully. Don’t answer in so much detail if t it’s not necessary. Most of my answers were 1-2 short sentences, talking too much just leads to more questions.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. It’s really not that bad. As many people say, if your marriage is genuine, you have nothing to worry about.
I asked him if I can have my married name on my green card because we never did it at the courthouse. He said YES. How simple was that!
I brought a VERY ORGANIZED BIG BINDER OF INFORMATION, but he did NOT ask for one single document! He said everything he needs is in the file. Nonetheless, I am glad I came well prepared.

I really love how everyone here has tried and convicted this guy with only hearing one side, and to be quite frank, her story sounds ridiculous and unbelievable. This guy is putting his life on the line for your freedom such as being able to post on boards etc etc etc , he at least deserves his say. He doesn't deserve to be labeled a woman abuser until all the facts come out. Horrible !!!!
I agree there is two sides to a story. everyone deserves a say, regardless if they have served or not!

Well he works at Public Affair office so he knows how to say right words to the right person, so he is very tricky, he put me in jail twice already every time after I tried to do something on my own, he also has money, lawyers around, a car and ability to do anything. And I can't even walk out of the door, because I have my baby in my hands, don't have a car or money to get anywhere. So even if I start something he will just put me in jail like always. And as I said his English is much better than mine so he will find a way to trick people to believe him. No lawyer could help me since I'm here so I decided to just deal with him by myself, just be nice to him and pretend that I'm happy with everything. At least he won't take my son from me.. I don't know. It's really risky to do anything.
HE CAN NEVER TAKE YOUR SON FROM YOU!!! This is the same thing my friend's husband threaten her with. THAT IS KIDNAPPING! You notify the MP'S, his chain of command, and the local police if that did happen! He could jeopardize his career in the army. Please don't think your husband has any sort of power of your because of his "money" and "lawyers" or his fluent English!

You better check with your bank about adding your name on his account. I was able to add my name to my Sponsor's account before I applied for AOS. SO, please check with your bank!
My husband is in the MILITARY. I was able to have a joint account with him at USAA Bank. I suggest you check on changing banks or opening up an account with them.
HOW DOES HIS OFFICE NOT KNOW YOU ARE STILL MARRIED? AREN'T YOU RECEIVING BAH???
I have a friend in a similar situation. MY friend's husband refused to sponsor her. i don't know your situation, but this is a way for him to controll her. If your in a similar situation, get a free consultation from an attorney. Know ur rights!

Congratulations you on your approval
I hope you consult with a lawyer because the journey is far from over.
Goodluck.

Sorry didn't read your post. The lack of paragraphs hurts my eyes and makes the post FAR too hard to read.
I AGREE, the lack or paragraphs makes it hard to read what u wrote|

You have to see the actual RFE to find out exactly what further evidence they are requesting, hence the term RFE (Request for Evidence). Trying to second guess at this point is of little use, and will likely only cause you more anxiety.
Good luck on prompt reply to their RFE.
Your right, I have to wait for my RFE letter...should get it by Monday. After receiving that email notification, i had A LOT of anxiety the first two days...now, i am trying to relax and just wait.
I just pray I have enough time to give them what they need by the deadline
Have to agree with A&B, there is no use trying to guess at it. Take a deep breath and wait for the letter.
Thanks. I will take a deep breath and just wait...I need people to tell me this, especially by people that are going through the same thing
Does anyone one know the difference between "Initial evidence" and "Additional evidence"....mind is "Initial evidence"
-
I got an email saying they are requesting RFE and I am just waiting on that letter! I am so paranoid. I did my 1-130 & 1-485 carefully...birth certificates, divorce decree, medical, tax return(only 2010 taxes because he hasn't filled 2011 yet)
My husband recently filled 2011 taxes and we are waiting on the transcripts from IRS.
What kind of information could they possible want!
****He is in the Army. Have they ever asked you for "Letter of employment"???*** All we have his is his Army contract.
He is in a different city for training(3 months)...I hope they don't ask for something that requires his authorization!
