CMJuilland reacted to Lil bear in Re-entering on ESTA
Likely to result in extreme questioning at entry.. maybe not the second entry but pretty soon after.. a stern warning perhaps .. notes on your file… refusal of entry if you try after that any sooner than 6+ months … Just my assessment of 15 years of visiting family here on ESTA.. one time where i had an unplanned emergency trip .. 3 days only.. then a planned 3 week visit 10 days later … didnt think i was going to get in.
Suggest you find another plan. And definitely do not volunteer,.. tourists don’t volunteer… they visit

I can remember multiple cases where an individual was denied entry, and told to "Get a proper visa".

CMJuilland got a reaction from Diane and Chris in NOTICE OF INTERVIEW CANCELLATION BY USCIS
I hope you have been able to initiate a conversation with USCIS. As others have said, this is most likely a glitch. We had something similar happen to us as @Sarge2155 when we went in for our AOS interview, except that we received the cancellation beforehand. Thanks to VJ, we knew that stuff like that is not too rare with USCIS and that others had received denials for no shows, so we went anyway. And sure enough, they were ready for us, conducted the interview, and I got my GC a few weeks later. Nobody even so much as mentioned the cancellation.
Different USCIS offices also don’t seem to communicate well with each other. When I went in for my citizenship interview, my interviewers were a bit confused that I already had my 10 year GC which had been approved and sent to me without an interview two months prior. They then told me that apparently, the USCIS office in charge hadn’t updated my RoC approval system-wide, so they had to do it while I was waiting there.
I don’t think you have anything to worry about, and I hope the situation resolves itself in a speedy approval and GC delivery. Best of luck!

Start communicating with your Congressman's office right now, so that you/they can pull the trigger very soon.

Most states require a 50/50 split for all marital assets and debts in a divorce. The length of the marriage will likely be taken into account as well when determining alimony. Her immigration status is irrelevant to all of this as she can re-file an I-751 with a divorce waiver, many have done this successfully. You can't "withdraw" the I-751 as it is her petition, not yours. Focus on the divorce and be civil. It is in your best interest to negotiate an agreement with her and her divorce attorney. Keep in mind that if she hires an aggressive divorce attorney, and the case goes to court, the I-864 that you signed could be used as leverage to force you to pay alimony for many years.

There is really no difference between a 2 yr GC and 10 yr GC. As @OldUser mentioned, if you get divorced, it does not mean your spouse cannot continue and get their 10 yr GC and eventually citizenship. Actually if she were to get citizenship that would remove your obligation regarding the I864. Beyond that, divorce law and immigration law are entirely different. When you decide to get a divorce and it is finalized, the divorce court will rule on the property split depending on the applicable laws in your state. Immigration wise, your then ex-spouse can proceed with the I751 under a divorce waiver which is done all the time.

*** One word edited in opening post. Please avoid profanity. ***

Your best plan is to hire an excellent divorce attorney, and to avoid accusations of spousal abuse from this time on.

I'm 100% sure of that. She's has pretty much all the rights you have other than voting and taking certain jobs requiring US citizenship.
You cannot withdraw or cancel I-751, it's her petition to remove her conditions. USCIS received a lot of bonafide marriage evidence and potentially statements from you during AOS and I-751. Even now you say it was a bonafide marriage. She'll have to file a new I-751 with a divorce waiver, or convert existing petition, but that's up to her.
Don't forget, you're still liable for her as the sponsor, because you filed I-864. Liable even when you divorce, and until she naturalizes or works and contributes social security for 10 years.
You can consult with an immigration lawyer if you don't believe me. But best to focus your energy on divorce, immigration wise you don't have any power over her.

Hi @PandaEat I'm sorry your marriage is heading towards the divorce. Your wife has the same rights just like as if you were married to an American lady. Nothing different in regards to divorce and splitting assets. All depends on the state laws. If you live in a community property state like Arizona or California, you'd have to split anything accumulated during the marriage 50/50 with her, even if she never contributed even a dollar.
No, you cannot take her green card away. You did not issue it and it's not your property. Only immigration judge can take her GC away and only if she cannot prove her marriage wasn't entered in good faith.
I suggest getting a divorce attorney and sorting the divorce out.
There's nothing you can do immigration wise. She will have to remove her conditions on green card without you. It happens all the time.
It's time to focus, get the divorce done and heal.
Good luck and I'm sorry you're going through this!

CMJuilland reacted to mrath5 in FINALLY!
I just checked my husbands case status on the uscis website and after FOUR years it finally says case was approved!!!! I don’t know if it helped at all but I did google our states immigration congressman and they were putting in an inquiry last week, and yesterday it was approved. I’m so relieved and I wish you all a painless removal of conditions process. This website has helped me so much from the start and I appreciate all of you!
ps we did NOT apply for his citizenship

CMJuilland got a reaction from SalishSea in K1 Visa Help
From your post, it is not entirely clear to me if you ever want to live in the U.S. If not, just get married and then see that your partner can move to Australia with you. Since per your post, you seem to be ESTA-eligible, I’d follow @Jorgedig’s and @Mike E’s advice and use that to visit and/or get married here in the States.
If down the line you see a future where you and your partner actually live in the U.S., I would get married, either do long-distance for a while or have your partner move to Australia with you, get your Australian citizenship, and then have your partner petition you for a spousal visa once you think you’ll be getting ready to move.

CMJuilland reacted to beloved_dingo in I'm divorcing my US citizen husband and idk what to do
1) Many divorce attorneys offer free consultations, and even paid consultations are usually not very costly ($200 or less). It can be helpful to meet with an attorney just to get an hour+ of cheap or free advice.
2) Some family law attorneys do pro bono work or will take on a client at a reduced rate, in cases like yours
3) Look into local legal aid attorneys, who are often cheaper or offer pro bono assistance for low-income clients (https://guides.sll.texas.gov/legal-assistance-organizations/general-legal-assistance might be a good starting point)
