Took my mother in law a year. Case was DQ Januuary 2022, interview is this month. You have to remember Kingston was still catching up from Covid. Hopefully they are moving along faster and it won’t take as long for you. You will need another police certificate once you get the interview date. 

Hello,  great people.  My immigration journey has come to an end today, because I'm now a us citizen.  I want to thank you all for your help and support, and I wish y'all the very best on your journey. Peace out!

The visa will be in the passport. So you won’t get the passport until it’s been issued and ready for you to receive it.

Let me rephrase it. So you won’t get the passport until it’s been issued and ready for you to receive it. The visa will be in the passport.

Several have written here and asked how to turn the person in to ICE?
there is little a person can do 
mostly as u did all the work to prove the relationship is real
and the "green card holder" can get a divorce and move on with the remainder of the process -even naturalize 
 
basically people don't want to admit "My judgement was wrong"  or that they are "enablers"
 
but it hurts and hurts bad 
and to be honest "that is why immigration has all these rules and wants proofs and why some embassies deny or send a packet back for NOIR/NOID
 
it hurts girl and i am sorry you were duped
 
keep trying to warn others and post on Facebook and hope just one will listen / its all  u can do

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve been on this site participating in discussions.   When my husband (now ex husband) was first denied in 2014, I took it as my mission to help others in my situation. I did that for a few years.
Well now I’m back here trying to turn another negative into a positive and hoping my pain can again help others. After 5.5 years of marriage, I have discovered that I am a victim of a covert narcissist who (along with the enabling of his family) used me for a green card and a new life.  I am here to speak my truth and hopefully bring awareness to Covert Narcissism, a personality disorder rampant within a society plaqued by systemic poverty and survivalist mentality.  
Yes, now looking back I see the red flags I ignored and signs of deceit but it was so subtle and not knowing anything about covert narcissism I was completely blindsided.  
My intention is to make future posts to help point out the signs of narcissistic personality disorder so others have the knowledge that I didn’t have.  Being in a long distance relationship makes it very difficult to really know a person’s true character and intentions because of the limited time spent in person. It’s so easy for these people to hide their real self and create a fake persona of who you want them to be. I have personally heard the stories of over a dozen women that have been take advantage of by these types of people. The events and behaviors  are almost identical. 
I encourage anyone who has experienced this to share your story. I am a safe place and you can also private message me.  
 

Sometimes the family is in on it for the greater good of the family.
 
What makes you think you were duped? Could it be that it just did not work out? I’m just asking because on the flip side people don’t realize the strain of someone uprooting and relocating their life to a foreign land. And sometimes foreigners have an unrealistic view because the American dream is often something they see on tv. So when those 2 things clash with real life, all the lovey dovey feelings you had when visiting goes out the window. 
 
What stage are you in? You don’t have a timeline completed. What would the class action be for? There’s really nothing you can do unless you have solid proof. Hearsay and speculation won’t cut it with USCIS. It may be best to let the process run its course so you can be off the hook for the 864. Best of luck to you.

They're only doing expedites and emergencies as well as people whose interviews got cancelled back in 2020. Anyone who's still at the NVC is still waiting. Family preference has been waiting since March 2020 and the immediate relatives have been waiting since September 2020

The healing is aside from your question.
 
Just making sure you understand him getting his citizenship is inevitable. If you are married he can file under 3 years rule. If he is not married, he will have to wait 5 years. But he will get it. Domestic violence is a deportable offense. You missed your chance by protecting him. You helped him get over. You helped him get the 10 year card. They have all the proof they need and granted his permanent residency accordingly. They will not investigate anything. 

Oan… It’s not my business but I pray for your sake his income alone is enough or he has other co-sponsors and you aren’t helping him sponsor all his kids, further putting yourself on the hook with no ties to him. 

Almost 3 years later and you still don’t love yourself enough to do what’s best for you, your peace. My heart goes out to you. 
You helped him come over, you helped him get the 10 year card. So now him getting his citizenship is inevitable, whether it be 3 or 5 years. He’s keeping you around because he thinks he needs you to complete the process. Once he gets his citizenship, he may cut you off for good. Sooner or later you will HAVE to move on. For your sake, I hope you get the healing you need sooner rather than later.

The paperwork you submitted shows the common law marriage was dissolved but if he checked yes he was married on the 160, only a divorce decree will be sufficient. That is going to be your real issue. He can’t simply state he was never lawfully married if he checked that he was on the application.
 
It doesn’t matter who completed the paperwork or whether they informed him. It was his application and he signed it saying the information submitted was the truth.

So was it “broken” by the lawyer? What you’re explaining is not unusual. It’s sometimes stated on the visa application as a means to get a tourist visa to show strong ties to their country. That’s the issue as you already stated. But it’s not as simple as saying he was never married. He was in a common law “marriage”. He will need to show that “marriage” was dissolved, same as a regular marriage.

We all responded to the part where you said you submitted the paperwork and started to explain that he was not lawfully married. You can do a search on here to find other stories about immigration home visits, it’s not uncommon at all. As far as how long it will take, I don’t think anyone can answer that but hopefully you will hear something aoon so you will know your next move. Good luck’
