    AnnaMaria got a reaction from MASH in Divorce after citizenship   
    Well, like Hypnos said, you're going to encounter some incredible challenges if you attempt to do this.
    1st - Unless you plan on moving back to the Philippines and marrying your ex, you can't apply for a spousal visa because guess what, you are married right now to a U.S. Citizen. So for the spousal visa, you have to LEGALLY marry your ex again, either in the Philippines or here if he can get a visa, but again, if he goes through a Fiance visa, you have the interview where they'll see you were divorced and all the red flags will start popping up.
    2nd - At your adjustment of status interview, if your husband doesn't know about this and you LIE to gain citizenship to go through with this, you're going to be hit with fraud. You need to talk to your husband about this, because if at your interview someone sees two completely different people, one happy and the other miserable, they are going to do some hardcore interrogating.
    3rd - I know this website is about visa advice, but i'd like to think the people who ask for help have good morals. Reading your post, it seems like he loves your kids and you didn't mention any marital problems with the U.S. citizen himself, just that you want your ex back. I'm assuming at this point you have not told your husband, otherwise you wouldn't have stated that you wanted to divorce him after you got your citizenship. Think about the hurt and pain you may cause this person and the time and emotion he put into helping you come with him here and bringing your children, and loving them as you said. Again, this isn't a judgement, I just hope you considered how this is going to affect another human being who seems to love you and your children as his own.
    You really need to consider the situation you're facing. If you want to go through with this, you need to be honest to your U.S. husband so that if you do proceed with the citizenship procedures, everyone is on the same page with what is going on. To be honest, it does sound like you tried to evade immigration as Hypnos said, therefore i'm not sure how much constructive advice you may get as people do not want to assist someone in fraudulent activity.
    But, good luck to you, and I hope the best for your U.S husband, no one deserves this.

    I'm sorry, but this all sounds too convenient. You came here by marrying a USC, you want to divorce after getting your GC, remarry your first husband and then petition for him to come here, it sounds much like immigration fraud.
    It doesn't matter that the marriage to your first husband was legit. They will look at why you married him the second time. Even if you genuinely got back together, you will still be heavily scrutinized.
    Now, I'm not accusing you of fraud, but that is what it sounds like and that is what USCIS and the CO will see. I don't know you and I don't know your situation, but here is what would happen:
    If you do decide to divorce your current husband because you want to marry your ex, you will have to prove with a very great deal of evidence, facts, and I don't know what else, that:
    One: You didn't divorce your ex to marry a USC. (Sham divorces are also a very big deal for USCIS)
    Two: That you didn't marry your current husband for immigration purposes.
    Three: That you didn't marry your ex again for immigration purposes.
    There are people that are married, divorce, marry other people, divorce, then marry their ex's. But when immigration is involved, the suspicion of fraud is going to be very very high.
    If your plan is to get married for the purposes of bringing your children's dad and not because you genuinely want to get back with him, then don't, just don't. Let one of them petition for him when they are 21 and is a USC.
    If you and your current husband aren't working out, then that is another story and something that the two of you would have to deal with.

    Expect problems, because on the surface it looks like you married an American in order to evade immigration law and facilitate your children's father's entrance into the US.
    Does your current husband know you are planning to divorce him? In order to naturalise under the three year rule you must be living together with your US citizen spouse in a true marital union.

    The new visa prices go into effect Sept 12th 2014.
    It depends on how you feel about paying more money for your visa if it is good news or not, personally, we were hoping we would have to pay at least another $1000 in addition to all the fees we have paid so far. (Sarcasm)

    AnnaMaria got a reaction from Free.bird in Any Feedback about Kazakhstan consulate?   
    The reviews of each embassy here are people's first hand experience and gives you an idea what you can expect. If they had a good review, it means they were more than likely prepared for the interview, thus making their interview easy for the Interviewing Officer and therefore easy on them. While a review is absolutely wonderful to ease your nerves, you will only know how your interview will go once you do your own. You just need to make sure that you supply plenty of evidence of your relationship so they don't even have a reason to ask you to prove it further, and make sure all of your paperwork you bring to the embassy is an ABSOLUTE replica of everything you send to the USCIS or NVC. We're also keeping anything considered as relationship evidence we gain as we are going through the process, just to have more evidence at the embassy.
    I don't know if Kazakhstan is a high fraud country, maybe someone else can answer that.

    You think it is discrimination but I think that you want to see it. All couples must prove that their relationships are real, and Tunisia is a high-fraud country. Many straight couples have been grilled and tested, and sent for multiple interviews. It can happen. That is the thing with equality; now it can happen to you too.
    Leaving without an AP automatically cancels the application. It states it very clearly on the NOA1s for the I-485. You should fire your attorney for not telling you this. Good luck.

    The lady I spoke with told me it was way too soon (We completed it on August 25th) and that they have so many they are receiving right now it will be very close to 60 days. She said the moment they review it and accept it, they will invoice us for the IV fee.

    If you decide to purchase a magic jack to send to another country, set it up at home and make sure it is working before mailing outside the USA. You may need to utilize magic jack on line support to get it working. That way you avoid issues with someone that is not as computer literate as you. It is really easy but on a couple occasions I needed magic jack online chat support. I have one at home. My wife's parents have one, my wife's sister now has one. These are all the magic jack plus because once you set it up using your computer USB port, you can then connect the magic jack directly to the ethernet router (wifi router). One of usually 4 ports available on your wifi router and an AC outlet. This way you don't need to leave a computer running. I love it. The other thing is once you have it running, you can also setup your cell phone to receive and make phone calls using a magic jack app. Why would you want that? Anytime you are on a trip outside the USA, you can still receive your home phone calls using your cell phone if your cell phone is connected to a wifi signal. That is a really nice feature to have.

    One thing I recommend is to send a magic jack to your spouses parents so they can call your spouse anytime on the phone. Of coarse, the spouses parents will need to have internet at home. My spouses parents are able to call my wife on her cell phone or home phone. Occasionally they talk using Skype but they usually talk over the phone line. This will help so much for your spouse to deal with being home sick. My wife's sister now lives in Sweden. We just sent her a magic jack plus so she can call my wife's parents in the Philippines or call my wife in the USA any time. This has helped so much for my wife to make the transition. She is now totally adjusted. The other thing that helped her a lot was getting her drivers license as soon as possible and getting an entry level job. She was a school teacher in her country but is now a Certified Nursing Assistant. She is now taking some prerequisites for nursing school.
    In a few more months, my wife will become a US Citizen. I am so proud that she wants US Citizenship.

    AnnaMaria got a reaction from Cheezees in Removing the conditional on hardship grounds   
    And it is noted that you can remove your conditional residency at the end of two years, but the question is, why do you feel like something would happen between now and then that you need to pursue removing the conditions for yourself? If your marriage is legit, and you and your spouse and happily married, what do you have to worry about? On the other hand, if the marriage is failing and your fear is that a removal is imminent, then I personally would make that known so people here can give you the advice you might need to avoid such a situation.
    Overall, you're only going to get an answer the quality of your question.

    I am under the impression things are not working or have already stopped with his U.S. spouse, and they are possibly facing a divorce soon in which this issue is going to arise. That or he is trying to gain the removal of conditions without his spouse's knowledge for his own reasons.
    These are purely speculations based on the vague information you provided Civi. If i have this all wrong, forgive me, but as F1H said, you're not really asking questions, you're just highlighting form instructions without elaborating on what your situation is and expecting us to put the pieces together why you would want to do this without your U.S. Citizen spouse and possibly make things incredibly difficult for yourself.
