It doesnt matter how your wife became a citizen, all that matters is that she is one..

So basically you filed your 485 and now your separated.

A few different things can happen:

Scenario 1- 1 You dont have an interview 2 your separation is amicable 3 you get divorced after you obtain your GC. This scenario involves bending the law with out actually breaking it. You dont lie to immigration (ie going to the interview and lying) Your spouse would have to be willing to wait on filing for divorce however and you have no control on whether or not theres an interview... (after you get your GC and a divorce you would be able to file to have the conditions removed even though your divorced as long as you have proof the marriage was in good faith and just didnt work out)

Scenario 2- the separation is not amicable and your spouse wants to file for divorce immediately, like before you have your GC or know if you are or are not having an interview and is notifying ucis/attempting to withdraw petitions etc... In this case you are out of luck. Your application is based on her 1-130, with out you have no basis for your 485.

Scenario 3- your separation is amicable, your spouse is willing to wait on divorce, and you get a notice for an interview. Well, in your case this is probably the worst scenario... Since the interview would consist of you disclosing the marriage is over, well, you know...

I guess the best you can do is roll the dice if your spouse is willing to wait it out. Maybe you wont have an interview. Take the time to work on things. Maybe you can rebuild what you once had. I mean if shes willing to wait she may be willing to work on things as well...

My husband came over on a K1, we got married, recently filed his I485. Just received his I797c. It says received date Oct 15 2012, notice date Oct 17, 2012. Today is now Oct 22. I still am unable to log on to the case status website and enter the receipt number to get status updates. It keeps saying " Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again."

How long does it take (or is it suppose to take) for it to show up in the system? Ive tried calling the 800 number but I cant seem to find my way through the prompts to an actual person.

thank you for all your help. We will probably replace them ourselves as the processing time for form G-884 seems to be 3-6 months (yikes)

My fiance recently went for his interview in Sweeden. I wasnt there, but for some reason they requested and he gave them additional paperwork including his birth certificate, both his and my previous divorce papers, his prior name chance certificate amoung other things. He passed his interview, got his visa, flew to the US and was under the impression those papers would be returned to him (?).

Now that hes here with out them it is impossible to get married or get a SS # with out them. Does any body know if they will be returned or if we should start the process of replacing them.
