Got the notice that an interview is ready to be scheduled!

 

Has anyone here done a waiver case interview? I know people generally bring along extra evidence they has come up since filing, but considering we divorced since the filing, that’s going to be a little difficult.

 

Any suggestions?

I did a waiver interview in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago.

I mostly brought the same files that I already sent plus tax records during the divorce year and anything else I could produce. My advice bring anything/everything you sent to them during the entire process. The IO that interviewed me did not have a copy of my intent to switch to a divorce waiver from a joint filing. So he didn't have a copy of my final divorce decree or any other the documents that I sent other than the ones I sent over two years ago even though I sent an RFE package two months prior.

You are not yet divorced so why are you worried about “which I didn’t do” part. Yes, as already said, once you inform USCIS about your divorce proceedings, you’ll be RFE’d for divorce decree which you wouldn’t have. So plan to inform USCIS once you have the decree.

Got it. If trend continues with approvals I would probably get my 10-year card before my divorce decree. So will I inform them after?

Thanks for your responses and clearing a lot of things up for me.

Yes...but at the present time you are still legally married.  

As soon as you are divorced send a copy of the decree in - until then you are doing nothing wrong. The absolute worst thing would be notifying them now, them immediately sending you an RFE for a final decree (with the standard 87 day response time) and you can't provide it because your state takes six months or something, or it gets drawn out due to property/money/oneupmanship disputes.

In such circumstances, you would receive a denial and have further hoops to deal with

At the moment my ex and I are in good terms so we’re still going through with the joint petition. Wouldn’t they be RFEing me for a decree if I changed it to a divorce waiver, which I didn’t do. Or would they RFE for a decree regardless?

Send a letter to the service center on your NoA/extension letter.

 

Include your identifying information and Receipt Number.  

 

Include a copy of the divorce decree.

 

Keep a copy of what you send with proof of delivery.  

Thank you for this information. 

I’m going through the same thing. If sending a letter of notification do we send to the same PO Box address that’s on the NOA1?

Unless you have a divorce decree in hand, i don’t see a point in notifying the USCIS.

I read that questions might come up during N400 interviews if the divorce is not disclosed while waiting for the removal of conditions. I’d rather be cautious.

My husband and I filed for divorce a month ago and I wanted to notify USCIS about this change in our relationship. 

I am a September 2018 filer and I filed at the California Service Center. 

Is there a specific address where I should send the letter? Or would I use the same PO Box address that’s on the NOA letter I received last year?

Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

how did you get a message? thru text or email? i thought if we had sent it to csc that they dont sent e～notifications？

I sent a G-1145 form with my application so I received an email and a text. The email went to my spam folder though. 

Sent my package to CSC on 09/04, it arrived on 09/05. Today I got a message that my case was received along with a receipt number. But unlike some my package stayed in CSC. Hopefully the NOA1 arrives soon.

I have an F1 Visa and I am currently on my OPT which is about to expire next month. I am already enrolling to a school and getting a new I-20 which I know would void my OPT.

My question is I want to go back home to my country to attend my brother's wedding but it would fall just 2 weeks before my F1 visa expires. Would it still be possible to come back here with an unexpired visa but one that would expire in just a couple of weeks? Or would that be a problem with the immigration officer?
