    Can't you talk to your ex to ask what happened?

    I had totally skipped the part in which you mention that you could leave the medication before the exam. Given what it says in other threads, people can be sent to do a psychiatric exam as part of their medical exam. So being without treatment not only can trigger this exam but that doctor might disagree with the fact that you are not taking any medication. That's a much worse scenario.

    This is a relevant comment in one of the threads I shared because is someone from Argentina:

    There are some threads I link below. Before you move forward, I think you need to figure out what your health insurance will be in the US. I've seen more recent threads in which they ask about this in the interview, it seems. If you are on medication, how are you going to get that medication in the US? You can certainly take some with you, but nobody in the US is going to prescribe it for you. Have you seen the requirements from your partner's job to add you to his health insurance? Some have few requirements (just living together), some have more requirements like you need a SSN (many people make the mistake of waiting to get the SSN or cannot manage to get a appointment, and then they have to wait months until their EAD arrives). K1 is much riskier than a marriage visa.

    My naturalization end-to-end took 4 months last year so if you apply now, you might get lucky and get it quickly. Like above, just apply for naturalization and don't waste money on applying for a green card. I'm pretty sure replacing/newing a green card would take longer than the time it takes to do the naturalization, because on average naturalization is around 6 months and (per google) the green card can take 8 months.

    Covid and the pandemic was like 4-5 years ago, 3 max. So I'm a bit confused about the timeline: - "grew apart because of COVID" - Lawyer filed for divorce waiver ~2 year ago How long were you married? Can you give more information on your timeline from the start and did you have a spousal visa/how did you apply for green card?

    One possible option is to look at countries that have an easy refugee status situation, have an easier way of getting documentation, and an easier path to citizenship with a 'strong' passport. I think that Argentina has a pretty good refugee system and citizenship is might quicker than other countries, maybe 2 years. Don't quote me on the numbers, but I think it's worth checking out. Another advantage is that it's closer than Turkey and you are on a similar time zone, which makes it easier for talking on the phone, etc. Anyway, that's my suggestion, looking at moving to another country as a refugee. Though she might have friends and family in Turkey which would make this less of an option. Also, if you work remote, they have some easy visas for people who work remote and want to live there.

    Your wife can get a credit card on your name inside of her bank account. That can be done instantly over the phone with Bank of America, and you don't need to have a SSN. I got one for my dad for emergencies. It's not the same as a joint bank account, but it's something. I also wonder if Bank of America would accept the letter with your name, address, where the credit card is sent, as proof of residence? My dad lives abroad and because I did that, now he gets offers for loans and credit cards at my address XD Another option is, if you have a nice landlord, to add you to the lease. Sometimes this can be done very easily, and you can use that as proof of residence.

    I would not wait to get divorced. He got the green card 1 year ago, meaning that he is going to have to go through ROC in less than a year. If you prolong the divorce to leave apart for 1 year, you are still going to be embroiled with him and married. If you are divorced, he can figure out his situation. Also, if he is really using drugs, anything he does can come back to you, like if he gets in debt with credit cards, you can be responsible if you are still married. That's outside of immigration issues, so I'll just leave it at that for you to investigate.

    Are you still married? Even if you are still married, I would wait until you meet 5 years rather than 3. You'll probably have to disclose this during the application, but then you can say you weren't convicted. If you are still married, depending on how long ago this was, I would ask your partner to go to therapy and do some couple therapy sessions. If anything ends up happening, having the opportunity to have a letter from the therapists supporting that this was something else and not really violence, child abuse, etc., might help your case. In any case, it would help, but I'm just talking in the context of supporting information.

    Someone was asking yesterday about their family tree as well (see below). Can you contact your representative to find out if this is a new policy and whether they can get the wording of the policy for you? Also, I would assume you do need grandparents and aunts/uncles. You are basically trying to prove you are not related and the information you provided only shows you are not siblings. But you could be first cousins. Plus, I think you have to provide the name of parents on the forms, so you are giving them information they already have. Is it hard to get the DOB of some of the cousins? At least the year would help if you cannot pin point a date. The year can help because then it can be clear, because of their age, that they cannot be parents to either of you. I wonder if this is just a grab for more data they can keep on file in case anyone on the family tree goes to get a visa.

    If you have to provide a family tree, you can make those with birth certificates. A birth certificate will have the names of both parents. A problem is if someone only has the mother but does not have the father, there is where you could add DNA if necessary. Did they tell you how far back you have to go? I'm assuming grandparents would be enough. I don't think DNA is going to be enough. You really need to put together a family tree with birth certificates. If you don't have the information, you can contact someone that works with genealogy. Or try some of the websites for genealogy. Family Search is free and has a lot of information, though it's difficult to find anything from people who are alive due to privacy.

    I found this online: https://dna.labcorp.com/dna-testing/legal-immigration-testing The main issue is that you cannot just mail your DNA somewhere because someone has to take DNA from you and your son, to sort of prove that's your DNA. Also, some countries don't allow sending any 'biological material' through the mail. So you need a laboratory to send it on your behalf.

    Immigration lawyers typically only charge you if the application is successful. You only have to pay for the fees to file the paperwork in advance. It costs a bit over 10,000 if it's successful. It's very difficult to know if you have any chances because nobody has seen a large amount of successful profiles. The only people I know who did it had PhDs and were in much more narrow fields.

    It only applies for IMMIGRANT visas. A tourist visa is NOT an immigrant visa. Just FYI: They should only say they are planning to visit to meet their grandkid once is born. If they mention they are coming to help, they will get into trouble because it can be considered 'work' and many people get denied or turned back at the border for saying that.
