  1. Hi! I already had my interview and received my green card. For your case, the most important thing is - do you think there is any hope for your marriage? If not, file for divorce as soon as possible. Even if you don’t have the divorce decree, respond to the RFE before the given deadline and give them whatever additional evidence you have that you didn’t include in your original filing. I’m not an expert and I did use a lawyer but I would definitely include a statement from yourself outlining what has happened/is happening with your spouse. I also didn’t have my divorce finalized when they asked for more evidence and my lawyers sent a similar statement. I provided the divorce decree at my interview. And no, my ex wasn’t at the interview. Once you switch to a divorce waiver, typically the ex spouses aren’t involved anymore.
  2. Yes! As the person above me said, I definitely needed it. With covid conditions, we got divorced via zoom. It was super easy and probably way less stressful than going to court. They said they’d mail it to me but since it was taking too long, I went to the court the morning of my interview and got copies of the divorce decree. I believe I had to request them by phone prior but that would vary based on where you are anyways. Good luck!
  3. Hi guys! Just had my interview 4/19. Initially filed jointly but switched to divorce waiver. Not going to lie, it was pretty tough. The officer started with confirming everything on my application, then asked about how the relationship started and developed. She asked me questions about almost every piece of evidence in my file. Questions about my ex spouse, details about his/our life, about people from the photos I had provided. It had me extremely anxious and stressed but I was fully honest about everything including our separation. I explained why we didn’t have some of the common joint assets couples usually have. Towards the end, she asked if I had anything else to add. It sounded to me like she wasn’t very convinced with what I had so far. I was so stressed out at that point, that I forgot I had my affidavits from friends and my ex spouse with me! So I just gave her some extra photos and was on my way out haha. She said “Everything looks good with your application!” but I was still convinced she hated me. When we came out, my lawyer said that this particular officer is always pretty tough but she believed it went well. I was fully prepared to wait at least a month but the very next day I got a notification that my case was approved!

  5. I didn’t have much to send honestly. The way we lived wasn’t super conventional so not a lot to show. But I sent a previous lease agreement, tax returns, travels, note from employer stating we lived on their property together and some photos I believe. My lawyer has advised me to get some affidavits for the interview and if possible, a statement from my ex husband.
