I woke up with an email from USCIS that they have taken action on my case and saw this when I logged in... so so so happy to be done with this process. I now checked my case number and it now says that my case was approved instead of “a new card is being produced”. Good luck to everyone and happy Thanksgiving! 💫

Congrats! @vharrold What service center?

Card arrived in the mail, I’m really relieved and even weirded out about how we got such a quick approval compared to other January cases when they gave us such a hard time the first time around. Good luck to y’all. 

@rickyminator Congrats!! What service center?

May need a Divorce Lawyer, may have a Divorce Lawyer. There are millions here illegally and none of them seem that bothered about their staus, the OP does not either. Divorce is a Stae issue, Immigration is Federal. Why do you think he would be liable for alimony with such a short marriage?

Hey @Boiler Alimony laws vary state to state, and we don't know what the status with the child is. As @Paul & Mary mentioned, in some states the husband of the mother is automatically put on the birth certificate. We're missing a lot of information, which is why I asked OP clarification questions in a subsequent post. Didn't mean to suggest he absolutely is liable for alimony, but divorce proceedings can end in court (could be for division of assets), and even though its a state matter, there are many cases of USCIS and ICE getting information on out of status individuals via court documentation.

I’m hoping it will all be final by June, if not sooner. I don’t know how long the process takes. 

What state are you in? Is your current wife aware of your intention to divorce and are you on the same page with dividing assets and all that stuff? 

You need to hire a lawyer IMMEDIATELY. Someone already mentioned this but you are here illegally as of 2018 and this subjects you to deportation proceedings at any time. It doesn't matter that you're married to a USC if there's no green card to show for it. It also doesn't matter that you intend to marry someone later on and get a GC through that marriage, you can be deported well before that.

When you divorce your current wife, what if she takes you to court for alimony? That will immediately bring your current immigration status in the eyes of ICE and USCIS and without a lawyer you'll be screwed. I'm sorry to be so blunt but you are in a ridiculously bad situation here - call a lawyer TODAY.

Hello everyone,

This is my first time of posting in this forum and based on many posts i have read here I am glad to post my I-751 RFE believing solution to the problem will show up. I received my I-751 RFE from USCIS on the January 22nd 2019 stating that documentation I submitted is insufficient.

The letter states that i have not established eligibility to have the conditions on my residence removed. Please submit your response to this request for evidence along with a copy of this notice.

                                                       

                                            GOOD FAITH MARRIAGE, INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE.

You provided the following evidence that the marriage was entered in good faith:

 

Auto insurance, bank statements with no transaction pages, 2016-2017 tax returns, joint checks, health insurance, energy bills, employee benefit information, drivers' licenses, and various mail/travel documents/ car title/ car registration in just your name.

However, the documentation submitted is insufficient because the totality of the evidence does not suggest that the marriage is bona fide. 

To establish eligibility for removal of conditions on residence, please submit additional evidence to show you and your spouse entered the marriage in good faith and continue to share a life together.

The evidence may include, but is not limited to the following:

 

Children as a result of your marriage:

          * copies of the civilly registered birth certificates for any children born to you and the petitioning spouse;

          * Adoption decrees of children adopted by you and/or your spouse;

          * Court guardianship records of stepchildren;

          * School or medical records listing the stepparent as a contact or guardian.

 

Evidence you and your spouse have resided together and shared responsibility for a common residence such as:

         * leases in both names showing joint occupancy;

         * deeds and mortgages in both names showing joint ownership;

 

Evidence you and your spouse have combined financial resources or joint ownership of assets and responsibility for liabilities such as:

         * checking, savings or investment account statements showing the transaction pages;

         * home, rental, or life insurance documents;

         * utility bills; or

        * loan or credit card account statements.

 

Evidence you and your spouse made estate, health and financial planning arrangements with each other such as a will, trust or durable power of attorney for health or property or both.

 

Any other relevant documents not already mentioned. Please do not send copies of documents previously submitted.

 

N.B

There is no children in the marriage

My spouse had already mortgaged her house with her late husband, we live together in the same house but the mortgage come from our joint checking accounts. Meaning that we do not have leases or mortgages in both our names.

No home, rental insurance documents but I have life insurance from my employer. Sometime ago around 2017, I have applied for a life insurance but I could not finish the application due to the fact I have not received my green card then. Now, I believe I could call to finish the application. Can I go ahead and submit the document or not in order not to raise a red flag.

Utility bills: Both of us are on light bills. No other bills we have our names on but the pay for other bills come out from the same joint checking we have and definitely i will send the statements of every page of our checking accounts. My spouse has already called the gas company, cable and internet to add me as an authorised user, we can then wait for like two months to receive some documents to submit.

No loan or credit card account statements on both of our names. We do not want any loan. I hope to add my spouse to one of my credit cards, I hope it wont be a red flag.

Kindly please your opinions are welcomed what to do, i am scared because of this RFE

 

 

 

 

@Wiseman239295 - when did you apply for your I-751? Date received or NOA date?

If you want to make your life easier, it's best to just use your driver's license/state ID and your unrestricted social security card. That's enough for the I-9. If your social security card still has a restriction on it, change it asap. I've read some horror stories on here about HR at some companies not knowing what to do with an extension letter, you don't need that kind of headache. You only need to show your green card to an employer if for some reason you have to be a US person in order to do that job (jobs like that wouldn't even interview you without proof of your status and their HR tend to be more knowledgeable). 

Great advice, thank you!!

You should be good. I got the same exact issue . Your extension letter with expired green card and Drivers license /SS card should suffice the I-9 requirement.  

 

Good luck!

Thank you!

Yes.  Your extension creates a new expiration date for your green card.  

Thanks for the help!

Hi all, Happy New Year! 

Didn't see a thread started yet so here we are!

My timeline thus far:

Package mailed out: 12/24/2019

Case received at Nebraska Service Center: 01/02/2020

Hi all,

I had a question about starting a new job when your I-751 is pending.

Scenario: I'm currently looking to interview for a new job. I am currently employed. If I get a job offer within the next two months (my own estimated job search timeline), I'd be starting in March. In March, I'll be in a position where my Conditional GC will have expired (expires 3/5) but I'll have my 18 mo. extension letter in hand. At that time, if I start a new job, would I be able to just present the conditional green card with the extension letter for e-verify and the I-9? Or would the employer need something else to satisfy the I-9 e-verify process?

Thank you in advance for your time and comments!!

@mhan27 Thanks so much for that tip! Just checked that site you mentioned and card is in production! Thanks again!

Hello everyone,

I had my interview at the Boston office on February 22nd, 2018. It was an interview for GC based on marriage to USC. Came in to the US on F-1 before that. Interview went great, officer was super nice, and at the end said he was recommending for approval and that case status would change that afternoon and to expect GC in 2-3 weeks. 

We're almost a month in, and still no approval notice or GC in the mail. Nothing changed online either. Any ideas what's going on? Anyone else in Boston have this experience?

Thanks!
