all good points. Yes, his green card would expire in 09/2014 not this year. I did not focus on the timeline vs. what was posted. It can make a difference based on how long you were together after the green card was received and when you filed divorce.

Joint checking accounts mean little, you do not have to be married to have a joint account. That said, 3 months recent statements are plenty. Joint insurance is probably better evidence. If you have a joint account and the balance is near -0- OR if the account is merely used to pay living expenses that either of you would have anyway...it really means nothing.

OP...I respond based on merely what the law is regarding filing ROC. Each case is individual and I make no judgments.

Hi Gary and Alla,

Thanks so much for your comment. I will try to simplify the documents I send I.E. Only the last Joint account statement to show that the account we show when we applied for the AOS is still open.

I'm going to say no. It might seem a little like you paid her off to marry you. Be honest with everything you provide, but that in and of itself is not beneficial to your case.

Thanks for your comment Nola123, I think it makes total sense, I don't want to give the wrong idea that I paid her to marry me.

Thanks so much Capri for your comment.

Just to clarify Regarding the interview, there were only two interviews, the first one was rescheduled because we moved and we were AOS'd on our second interview. I would assume the risk would be lower but not enough to decrease the fraud risk level, right?

To further support the application, I have all our email, text and call history since maybe March 2012 (both of us use google-voice ). Since none of use have/had land-line this could be pretty large (at least a few texts, a few calls and a few emails per day).

Would it help to show that I have paid all of our living and medical expenses by myself? (including installments for her student loans)

I am sorry for the huge posting, I promise my future posting will be very short.

I have two questions regarding ROC with Waiver, but first here is my story:

I met her on 09/11 at Philadelphia Airport and we fell in love with each other. I traveled several times to visit her and we got married in PA in 12/11 (then she lived in PA and I in Indiana), the original plan was for me to get a job in the east coast once I graduated from my Masters in 05/12 and move in together.

I never received a Job offer in the east coast but instead I got great one in MI in 03/12. We travel together a few times to Niagara Falls NY, D.C., she went to IN for my graduation on 05/12 and we visited her father in WI on 11/12.

We moved to MI (I in 06/12 and she following in 07/12 once her Job contract was finished in Philly).

Unfortunately we don’t think anymore that there is not a “long term” together and we are entering divorce procedures.

And now I am not only putting together documents for divorce but also started thinking on compiling a folder for the ROC with waiver.

Here is the detailed timeline.

09/11 We met IN Philly (where she lived)

12/11 We got married in PA

03/12 I received a job offer in MI

04/12 We applied for the AOS

06/12 We received interview notice (to interview in IN, where I lived)

06/12 I moved to MI and updated address to USCIS

07/12 She moved to MI and updated address to USCIS after her job appointment ended and has had no job ever since.

07/12 Our interview was cancelled

07/12 We received another interview notice (in MI where we live now)

08/12 We had our interview in MI (passed): We provided further information showing that both of us moved to MI due to my job offer (joint lease, joint health insurance some utility bills on both of our names)

09/12 I got my Green Card

02/13 We have had some problems in our relation to the point that we have been talking about divorce in several opportunities. We also had a few appointments at a marriage counselor to try to save our marriage.

03/13 I met with a divorce lawyer and unfortunately think the divorce is the best for both of us in the long term.

1. Do I need to file the waiver as soon as my divorce decree is final or should/can I wait until my Green card is about to expire on 09/2013?

2. What else should I include in my ROC and waiver folder, this is list of documents I have so far:
