    Shelly11 got a reaction from Deleted_Account in N400 approved_ROC divorce waiver   
    I am writing this because I wish when I was going through this, someone else that had did. I hope to give hope to someone.
    First, the best news of all, my oath ceremony is scheduled for 1-14-15 here in Houston. I am beyond happy and I want to thank Visa Journey for this forum. I could not have done it without your assistance.
    My journey stated in 2008 when I met my future husband at a friends summer cook out. It was love at first sight....I know how cheesy that sounds. My husband is tall, handsome and really sweet (or so I thought). We got married in May 2009 and I found out his true colors shortly after. This is not a sob story so I will shorten this part - he was in an out of jail and I just couldn't handle it. We had our daughter June 2010 and now everyone, my family included judged me and said horrid things. I never set out to be a single mom but here I was...with no family here to assist. My whole world just seemed to fall apart. I started listening to 'WILL SMITH WISDOM' and other encouraging words. Looking back I don't know how I did it but between working full time and being a single mom, I completed my education and got a good job. I divorced by husband and ROC via a divorce waiver in April 2012. It took 23 months, 3 RFEs, 1 inforpass and 2 biometric appointments to approve my case but they did. That was April 2014.
    I moved to Houston shortly after. I wanted to get a fresh start on life. I love America!!!! This is the only place I know that you do this! I bumped into this guy a good friend of mine tried to introduce me to several years before. At the time I met him, I was going through a tough times, including a divorce shortly after, the ROC process, I was juggling a single mom life, school and I had no place in my heart for a relationship. So I pretty much pushed him away but the poor guy pursued me for years, relentlessly. I finally decided to give him a chance and boy I should have done it sooner. He is an amazing man and he loves my daughter 100% It's almost as thought the universe repayed my patience. I am now engaged and the best part is this July 2015 I applied for N400 via a the 5 year rule. I interviewed Dec 2015, I got my oath letter 3 weeks after and now my oath ceremony is in less that 2 weeks.
    I want to encourage everyone that has going through problems in your marriage and the immigration process. Hang in there. Do not give up. Stay away from trouble, pay your taxes and be a law abiding citizen. With time, your dreams will come true. Now the American dream is in my grasp. I am very excited to be completing this process but I never take for granted what it took or forget others who are still in the struggle.
    Keep that head up and remember, the sun will always rise again.
    Be blessed <3

    The i551 is a green card. I would direct them to the USCIS website or even the I-9 document
    Banks are not asking for this information. But there is no way I would contact my employer for something like that.
    Sorry for what you are going through and congrats on the Mercedez!!!!!

    Shelly11 got a reaction from user19000 in Any process that can send a foreigner ex-wife out of the US?   
    I'll be straightforward and to the point. LET IT GO.
    Can you successfully get her deported? MAYBE if you want to dedicate the next several years of your life trying to get a court to catch her on something that would put her at deportation risk. I have a friend who after the marraige ended, called the USCIS trying to get her ex-husband deported. She must have come off as what she was - a bitter ex-spouse.
    I just think that you would be spending to much energy on this and deny yourself an opportunity to meet the one.
    But hey, do what you feel is right. Only you really know wassup

    Shelly11 got a reaction from Mr&Mrs.Boo in how do I withdraw joint I-751 petition?   
    I am not sure what you can really do. He can get his ROC with or without your help. ROC is not intended to check on whether you are still madly in love, it is to verify that the marriage was entered into in good faith - and two children sounds pretty convincing to me that marriage was real. A friend of mine's exwife literary walked to USCIS office claiming that her marriage to her husband then (my buddy) was a fraud. She hated him so much she really did not care how bad all she looked. I know for a fact that this was a real marriage and they had a baby together. Anyway, they never took her seriously. I personally think she just looked like a jilted ex (I am not saying you are but I wanted to share an experience a friend of mine had)
    If I was you, I would hope he can move up his career ladder and you can sue him for child support and get a good settlement. Hey, who knows, this may be a rough patch and you will be back together.
    Also, I would think about this before really doing anything. I can imagine how hurt you are right now. Sometimes, doing things to ruin the other person can backfire on you. I am really hoping that he is just freaking out. Guyz do that - my ex-husband did but a lot of times, they come around especially when you guilt him by being nice. Only you know what you both had. You have the answers but think long and hard.
    Whatever happens, he is the father of your children.
    All the best

    I really do not see the problem. As a couple, you are entitled to deal with your assets and finances as you deem fit for yourselves. People come from various cultures and deal with money differently. Some jointly own everything. Some have separate accounts. Its very individual

    No. I would not send anything you already did. I think they specifically ask you not to do so.
    Just include more statements. I would mail them 1 or 2 years worth of bank statements, 1-2 years of bills and whatever else you can include. I got an RFE and I submitted an inch or two worth of documents and they accepted it. I had sent only 2 -3 bills. For the RFE, I included documents that covered the whole period of the marriage.
    You will be fine
