I just want to keep you posted, I passed the interview and now wait for Oath ceremony's schedule!
The IO didn't ask anything about my Ex but when I got my Green card, before or after divorced which I got it after divorced.
She didn't even ask for any support documents state on the letter.
 
Thank you all again!

Hi, I hope all is well for you! 

Just take the documents you have at this point including a copy of your ex's passport. They did ask me for the spouse's citizenship certificate... as well as the other documents they asked you for in the letter just like they did with you. At the interview itself, the officer wanted to see the certificate of citizenship, but did not ask for anything else to see. We provided the other relationship documents and proofs that we are together in advance including all our upto date tax filing history as well as many other documents (but that was before the interview).

I think that's the best you can do at this point in your case. I would be very honest and open with them.  Explain to them your situation and see if you qualify. No one would ask you to contact your ex, I don't think.  But, I actually do not know if you qualify for obtaining the citizenship privilege under the 3 years rule anymore (since there is a divorce at this point). Maybe you do / maybe you do not; I truly do not know.  I would like to learn from your experience if they actually grant you the citizenship. I think worst case scenario based on what you said is that they may ask you to wait till 5 years pass and complete so you may do it under the five year rule. Best case scenario is that they would approve you during the interview based on the documents you have.

In summary, I would take the papers you have in addition to as many papers as possible that would prove that you marriage was in good faith upto the point of separation/divorce. I would not take an attorney (unless you feel more comfortable with an attorney around). I think the attorney will make the atmosphere of the interview more tense in my opinion. I wish you well and please keep us posted.
 
Thanks and good luck... 

I also applied with 3 year rule but officer didn’t ask anything about my husband or our marriage. It was mainly focused on me, how many travels I had over the past 5 years and how long/why. If you divorced now I would recommend taking a lawyer with you so that they will not grill you with questions. 
best of luck!

Those three documents are fine.
Since you filed under 3 year rule, you also need to prepare proof of bonafide relationship - filing under 3 year rule with VAWA waives the requirement to still live with the abuser, but the IO can ask you for relationship proof (from before you left the abuser). 
Pretty much the same as for everyone else applying under 3 year rule applies to you as well, except you don’t have to live with them anymore.
 
I personally wasn’t asked anything during the  interview (except the IO confirmed that I filed under VAWA). But they can ask, so you should bring as much proof as you can gather and if they ask then just be honest and explain why you don’t have anything else. They know of VAWA circumstances.
 
I don’t think that you need an attorney, but do whatever makes you feel comfortable!

Thank you! I still adore your user name so much, even though I’m more the Käsebrot type 😄
 
History and government test:
Name one US territory
What Ocean is on the west coast of the United States
Who was President during Great Depression and WWII
We elect a Senator for how many years?
What is the Capitol of the United States?
Who is the Vice President now?
 
Reading: Who was George Washington
Writing: Washington was the first President
 
After that the IO went over my application and confirmed all info/asked me the yes/no questions.
I filed under 3 year rule as VAWA recipient. 
The interview was very pleasant.
 

You can NOT use the online system. For VAWA n400 you must send it on paper- the online system wont accept it the way you fill it out. Also if you are doing a fee waiver you also couldn't use the online system. You can send the package with your fee waiver. If they reject the fee waiver you will get a notice saying so and asking for payment. If you can pay it then pay it and it will move forward. If you can not then its OK. It will just be rejected and in the future when you have the funds you can send a new package. There is no penalty for sending it with a fee waiver that is denied. 
 
There are a few options for the fee waiver. Please read it carefully and choose the right one. If you get any kind of social services assistance- food, medical, etc- then you simply need to show proof of such. In order to get such benefits you needed to be at a certain income level. So USCIS will accept proof that you receive said benefits as proof you qualify for the fee waiver. If you dont get benefits and your income is low enough you can do the option to qualify based on income level. For that you basically send your taxes/proof of income. The final way is if your income is technically above the guidelines but you just cant afford it. For that you need to list out all your expenses and income and provide an explanation of the hardship. Then you would be subject to their discretion if you qualify or not. 
 

Pick other basis for naturalization, put down "LPR for 3 years under VAWA, INA 319(a)". You probably do not need to attach the AFM or anything of the like but if you want to, you can.
 
Yes, you can get a fee waiver for N-400.

Tomorrow we are entering March. Can't believe two months have passed for 2018. After quiet January and February, wish we will have a lot of approvals in March. 

Hi guys,
 
I just had my I-485 interview today. It went really well. The officer just went over the questions that were on the application. I got approved on spot. My journey is finally over. I hope by sharing this with you, you all will have more encouragement and hope just like how this site has helped me until this day. Good luck to everyone! 

Happy Valentine's day!
 
I am so relieved. This journey is finally over. I hope and pray you all hear good news soon!

Wooow long wait indeed.  I believe mine will be processing pretty soon too. Congratulations!

Sorry to hear that, but glad you get through it.

Sorry it’s coming late but happy St. Valentine’ day to y’all. Be happy and find love again!! Keep your heads up. 

Congratulations 🎉 

Hello everyone! I’ve been MIA, travelled out of the country for a little vacation and just got back. I used my advance parole. I visited South America for 2 weeks and just got back into the US yesterday. I also got back to some good news in the mail. My interview has been scheduled for end of this month. I will keep you all updated on how it goes. For everyone who inboxed me asking about where I’ve been. I’m so grateful for checking in. I’m doing just fine. 

Hi Folks, I am heartbroken because my handsome furry son (my  labrador dog) passed away yesterday. I had to put him to sleep. He turned 15 years old on December 2,2018 and we had a great party to celebrate his birthday. He was a handsome, gentle chocolate labrador. Everything happened so fast, he was happy and playing48 hours ago  but 3 massive seizures took this ability to get up, eat, drink and interact with us.  It hurts really bad not seeing here today playing with his toys, laying in front of the fireplace(his favorite thing), running outside when is snowing, he loved snow and it's snowing here today.
 
My husband and I can't stop crying. I truly believe that my furry son  returned to God for eternity. One day we will be  reunited and when the time comes we will be ressurected and then there will be no more death, tears or pain.Hug your loved ones a little tighter today. I wish you all a blessed New Year full of  prosperity, happiness and love.
 

There is no time specified in the VAWA Law when the person can remarry after VAWA approval. But when someone remarries 6/12 months after the divorce USCIS in VAWA case tends to question the person credibility regarding the bonafide marriage. You might have your credibility questioned by the officer adjudicating your AOS if you remarry this person just a few months after you got divorced . Who adjudicates AOS is the local office, not VSC.
 
You didn't ask my opinion but I will give my two cents. Do not get married to someone that you don't know at least  a couple of years. During Courtship people show the "best face". Look I handled over 6.000 Vawa cases and I saw everything that you can imagine. I saw pastors that battered their wives. I saw a bunch of cops and  military personnel that battered their wives. These people suppose to have a good moral character right? but time showed that they were abusers. I am not saying that your boyfriend will be an abuser, but you need time to know someone, and my experience proves that you don't know anything about a person after dating just a few months. I would say 70% of my cases the survivors got married 3/8months  after meeting each other.
