Yes and no lol.
The embassy in London received her naturalization packet and certificate, but have yet to set a date because the sole guy who can do naturalizations out here is constantly going TDY, then going on leave, then TDY again, and has been for the last few months. First they told us June. Then July. Then August. Now they're telling us September. It's pissing us off to no end as well as a lot of others out here.

So just a heads-up; the guys at the airport at Customs may not know jack and might give you trouble.
When we re-entered the U.S. last Christmas, the guy at the customs desk at MSP (Minneapolis/St. Paul, a major international airport, of all things) didn't even know what a green card was. We spent five-ten minutes explaining the rules to HIM. Eventually he got so confused he just let us through.
That's the caliber of government we're dealing with here.

So this is just me speaking from a military standpoint, but I would advise you contact the FBI or DHS immediately; I can't tell you how many times a jihadi in the desert was found with a valid U.S. passport after planting an IED.
Disclaimer to that: I do not believe that all people from the Middle East or Muslims are out to harm anybody or are terrorists. But his behavior is very typical of our enemies from that area; the "he hates your race" pinged me very hard as a red flag because I have heard that exact thing happening before with people that turned out to be enemy fighters. So just an FYI.

That being said, I would introduce him to the American way of life real quick; kick his butt to the curb. Take the bed, take the house. Is your name on the lease/mortgage/deed? If so, I would go get a restraining order against him and get the Sheriff to make sure he gets out of the house. He wants to play the game? Well, you got moves to, I suggest using them to the fullest extent.

Normally you would be correct.
However, I am in the Air Force on active duty, and currently stationed in the United Kingdom. Spouses of active duty military personnel stationed abroad on orders are considered to be on U.S. soil for the purposes of immigration. If that were true, her ROC would not have been approved.

They won't ignore their requests; if he can't produce evidence, they will charge him with making false official statements. I would actually say that having him continue is actually in your BEST interest. If what you say is true, and I'm sure it is, I've seen this happen multiple times, then he will bring only himself down. Despite all the cynicism, in this country you are innocent until proven guilty. As a previous poster said, if he makes this claim, and it were true, he would be just as on the hook as you would be, as he was a party to immigration fraud. And if it's not true, he is making false official statements. He's backing himself into a corner where he can't win. Just let him take himself down and laugh as it happens.
Don't worry, you have nothing to fear.

Not to rub salt in an old wound, but I just have to say after having read through this thread: I completely understand why you went back home. I can barely stand going to work for twelve hours away from my son. But I know that if I were to stay with him every day, I would lose the job that puts food in his mouth. The issue is, no matter how much to try to use that reason, it won't work for several reasons. The first is because you knew when you filed that spending that long outside the U.S. would most likely get your ROC denied. You are expected to know this when you file. The second is that you never went back to visit your husband. The hardest part of getting a visa is trying to put your love onto paper and proving it to people who have never met you. This screams, "I never cared enough for my husband to even spend a week with him." I will always champion kids over marriage, but I can honestly say that while I love my son to death, I could never spend that long away from my wife even with my son with me without visiting her and having her visit me. Trust me, I do understand your desire, but this tells me as an objective observer that you desired your children and never desired your husband. The third reason is that history is not on your side; this is a textbook example of what happens when someone tried to game the system. Marry, ditch, only come back when something important happens. It's so cut and dry I could package it and sell it as jerky.
I understand your pain, and I for one believe you. But you are an adult who made very poor choices, something you will need to own up to. Get the best attorney you can, and take only cold hard facts to the judge; your attorney will go through everything with you and determine the best way to proceed.
Also remember, this forum is a public record. Know that whatever you say here, if found by USCIS or another party involved with the removal proceedings, they can be used against you. I have seen people removed for stuff they have put on Facebook and Instagram, so make sure that whatever you say here is the same thing you would say to the judge. If not, well, silence can speak louder than words.
Sorry if I beat a dead horse, and good luck with your case.

My wife and I met online, and we were in our relationship 13 months before I got to see her in person the first time. In the course of three years, we only saw each other for maybe a month-two months total in that time before getting married. Immediately after we got married, I got deployed.
She moved in with me March of 2013; three and a half years after we met and eight months after we married.
I am in the Air Force, and lived in Ohio at the time, she in Bulgaria. It was $1,500 for a plane ticket, and my job requires me to get security approval before I travel to a foreign country, which can take months. We usually had to go a year or more between seeing each other. So trust me when I say I feel your pain.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you get used to it. Yes, the underlying yearning is always there, but eventually it just becomes a daily routine. For us it was relatively fast; we had both been in long-term long-distance relationships before; I, for example, have only been in two relationships my whole life, the first lasted three and a half years and was for the most part purely online/phone. This sounds bad, but hear me out; it helps not to think about the future. Take it one day at a time, and it all sort of blends together. Eventually the day will come where you two are together and today will seem like a distant memory even if it's just a few months. Don't think of it like, "What about Christmas and New Year's?" or similar. Just think about this afternoon or what's for lunch. It's inane, yes, but trust me, it helps more than you can imagine. Naturally I am not saying don't discuss your future, but don't dwell too much on the distance between you, it simply causes more heartache.

So if I may offer an opinion.
When I married my wife and first brought her over, I was very hot-tempered. I often rose my voice to her and snapped at her over the littlest things.
At the time I could not explain why I did it. Our situation was reversed; I was the one who worked and paid all the bills and stuff, she was not employed.
But early last year, I had an epiphany after a particularly bad spat; it had nothing to do with her.
My whole life, I had had things for the most part my way. I was used to doing things my way, I was used to living alone, having my own schedule etc. And then she moved in and, even though I was (and still am) madly head over heals in love with her, all of that got interrupted. She wants to go shopping? We JUST spent $50 on groceries! She wanted to talk to me? Come ON, we just talked five minutes ago! Why don't I try it another way? I have MY way! Etc.
Yes, we both put a lot of work into the relationship and into getting her over here, but it wasn't until she was there, in person, every single day, 24/7/365 did anything start to get rough.
Here's what I'm suggesting to you, because it worked for me: sit him down. Tell him how you feel. Be as honest as humanly able. Pour your heart out. If he loves you, if he cares for you, he WILL get his act together. It will not happen all at once, there may be stumbles along the way. As long as those stumbles do not involve violence, be patient with him.
But if he does not, well, then I fear it may not be meant to be.
Men are sefish animals. Sometimes we're hard to break in that regard, and yes, sometimes it takes a little tough love, but it can still work. Obviously, if it turns physically violent, or if his verbal abuse continues, you will need to remove yourself. But until then, that's what I suggest.
My humble opinion.

I have had the pleasure of talking to the USCIS Field Office personnel at the London Embassy on two occasions, and this is what they told us, and I am paraphrasing:
"There will be no interview. I'm just going to shoot straight with you. Most CIS people will tell you there's a small chance, I'm gonna tell you there's not. There are only three of us at the embassy, and if we had to do interviews with everyone who filed, we'd never get anything done and we'd be backlogged for years."
The guy I talked to specifically had this to say further:
"Now, I will not lie, I have worked at the embassy for about twenty years. And I have done interviews of military spouses. Three times. And only because those cases were such obvious cases of fraud that I mainly did it just to see if I was being trolled."
I'm assuming you are here in England (Lakenheath/Mildenhall/Feltwell? Or elsewhere?), so there are your chances for that.

We brought our cat from Bulgaria to the U.S. in 2013...CBP didn't even look at her paperwork or take her out of her carrier (she was a cabin animal). They laughed at her name (Meow-Meow), but that was it. We put a LOT of time and effort into getting her pet passport done correctly, got her chipped, spayed, vaccinated, a whole load of paperwork, and like ten cumulative hours on the phone with the airline and CBP, and they didn't even look at her at the airport (Detroit).
Kind of a let down.
We flew with Delta.
Though I should add, when they see you're coming from the UK, they will probably do the same as they did with us. I guess they figure if the UK will allow your animal to live (since they are insane with pet import requirements; we had to go through those when being stationed here), you're good.

The only relationships I have ever had were long-distance. I am absolutely terrible in social situations and more often than not just weird women out with my awkwardness lol.
But online I can be myself (which is hard to do with so many fakers out there). My Dad never understood that. He is a very social creature; he makes fast friends with anyone he meets and had quite a huge slew of girlfriends before meeting my Mom. My whole life, I had a small group of very close friends; seriously, my whole life, I think I only had a max of about four or five people I can truly call friends. I've had a total of two romantic relationships in my life, the second of which is my wife. The shortest relationship I've ever had lasted three and a half years. Another thing my Dad never understood; I am of the mindset that when you date, you're doing it to you can find your mate; the person you are going to marry, have kids with, live your life with, and have standing by your side when you die. His is, you're having fun before your prison sentence begins. That's a waste of my time in my personal opinion.
So he was always my biggest obstacle.
But my coworkers were also pretty bad, which you don't expect in the military, which is the who's-who of foreign girlfriends and spouses. They were always talking about how she was cheating on me, that I should have some fun since "she'll never know," etc. etc.
Easier just to ignore them and press forward with your relationship. Eventually they'll have no choice but to shut their mouths or risk losing you.

They have the reverse problem; people are leaving in droves. Not all to the U.S., mostly to other EU member states now that they can do so without visas. They're struggling to keep it going because of such. Their foreign ministry is trying to boost immigration as a matter of fact, they need people big time.
And waitingstill, that actually PROVES my point; they'll come here no matter what, using any system we have in place, no matter how strict. There are two options; close the border to all, or loosen it and let people in faster. Killing terrorists is my business; trust me, they'll get in no matter what we do, so the best thing to do is stop poking the bear.
