“Magically” 😁 Let’s hope and wait. I am now looking forward to N400, can’t wait to be done with all this immigration HBP lol.

USCIS and money are like 5&6 lol. That being said, I’d like to think they would not issue a receipt notice and mail out an extension letter if they hadn’t initiated the payment, don’t you think? I sent my package to the Phoenix PO Box.

I just got a text and email from them. My case has been added to my online account with case number. However, no extension letter or any of my evidences in the documents section yet. Now we wait. Package mailed via USPS: 04/15 Package delivered: 04/19 NOA1: 04/25 This was surprisingly fast. But I will take it.

Oh trust me, I am not in a hurry at all. They should take their time, what I look forward to is next April for N400. For what I can't wait.

No text or email yet. I used USPS, delivered 04/19, no update so far.

Hey SuperG, I mailed out my package yesterday 04/15 via USPS, tracking says delivery date is tomorrow 04/17 so now we wait. Hopefully you hear about your case soon. Fingers crossed

There just seems to be a few things stacked against OP. I'd just divorce him and move on with my life. If the husband did do something shady, then this is such a terrible look for USCIS for missing it at I130 level, Consulate, ROC and then N400; that is a lot of hurdle to cross with a fake divorce decree. A regular citizen found what a multibilllion dollars state department couldn't find 4 different times? Hmm hmm. Your 7th point is very key. If he ever petitions, then the scrutiny starts all over again, perhaps he will get caught this time, or not. Who even knows anymore. Also, point 4, I wouldn't trust many of the lawyers back there, what if they told you what you wanted to hear for some $$? Anyways, if he indeed perpetrated this evil, I hope he gets caught. He has to. He must.

Almost sounds like a movie script, doesn't it?!!

We all know these things happen. I'm sure nobody is surprised by this as my country is a high fraud country. It's good you reported the fraud issue to USCIS tip line as soon as you found out, that should clear you I hope. Interestingly, you reported before he even applied for Naturalization, I am now so curious how he survived that process. I'm so interested to see how this ends. Please keep us apprised. Good luck.

I had to delete my original comment because I didn't want to sound like I was judging the OP. I had a counterfeit divorce decree issue myself and it was picked up at the consulate in Lagos. OP said they discovered. They also said the divorce decree has been "confirmed" to be fake. Like you pointed out, the beneficiary was able to Naturalize under 3 year rule, then divorced. OP now wants to report marriage fraud? Hmmmm ok. As you also pointed out, does OP know they would also be indicted in this marriage fraud case? USCIS would probably laugh this off as a case of an embittered ex-spouse. I am certain they did their due diligence all through Consulate, RoC and Naturalization processes.

I'm sorry to hear this. I just wanted to say no way that supposedly "counterfeit" divorce decree makes it past consulate review, ROC and then Naturalization. Just saying. I am following this post.

Hi Karay, They didn't pay us. However, I intend to include both 1040x forms in my ROC to show we did amend to filing jointly even though we didn't get paid. Has to count towards financial comingling

When I did my K1, I did not get anything from the Consulate; no packets, no emails nothing. Once the status changed from 'in transit' to 'ready' I started looking at open slots for interview. What do you mean the system won't let you schedule??

Thank you. In my last 2 comments, I pointed out the points you made, the totality of our evidences.

It seems to me like what you sent was treated as Evidence of Relationship rather than Evidence of Meeting. Below is evidence of meeting I suggest you submit: 1. A picture(s) of you two at a restaurant(s) or store(s)+ receipt(s) of purchase from there. Don't forget to write name of store/restaurant, location and date at the back of pictures. 2. Resubmit the entry and exit stamps on your partner's passport coupled with the boarding passes from the US and Sweeden. 3. Receipt of hotel lodging showing dates your partner was in your country, it doesn't matter if it's in either or both of y'alls name. 4. If your partner used their card over there, let them log in to their bank app, open the transaction(s) and take screenshot(s) that shows the narration of the purchases. You don't need bank statements for that. 5. If you have pictures taken with friends or family, pictures you took at just random or specific places, include them and write the narration at the back of each picture. Don't forget to include date, too. That should do it. Also, I suggest you fill out another I129F form, include all pages whether or not you filled out all the pages. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't forget to sign by hand. Good luck.

I know your question was rhetorical but I will still answer you o.... all I'd want is for you to murder them at that interview and come back to give us the good news 😊 You're gonna be fine sis. The fake certificate wasn't even from you anyways. You two also have 2 kids together, abeg abeg Welcome to America 🇺🇸 Immigration can be draining. As they say, delay is not denial. When you get your passport with visa in it, you will forget all the years of pain instanta. You can inbox me, no qualms. I wish you all the best.

I just explained in my last post. Our account statement shows deposits and withdrawals. In fact, my wife's card appears even more than mine cos she's the one who does all the Walmart and Kroger orders,

You still did not understand me correctly. We have a genuine joint account; matter of fact, we have at least 5 pages of account statement each month and the good thing is each transaction shows the last 4 of card used. The transfer is how she gets her own contribution into the joint account while my contribution is my direct deposits from work. In my illustration, when I said I cover the other 250 and daily expenses for the month, that just meant that I contribute more to our expenses. I guess what I really wanted to know is whether it would be an issue that I move money out to my personal account. Besides this joint bank account, we have plenty other evidences. Joint lease. Joint car ownership Auto insurance showing both names as insured drivers. Rental insurance She's on my health, dental and life insurance I got from work. She's designated beneficiary of my IRA Joint deed/home ownership Vacation together Pics at different restaurants Pics with her grandkids at Thanksgiving just yesterday. 3 joint credit cards - I am an authorized user on her 2 cards, she is the same on my only one. That's all I can think of right now. We should be fine even with these alone. Thank you for your contribution. Thank you! 😊

Thank you, Sukie, for your contribution. I will be sure to ask for even more help when it is time to file.

My VJ people busy with Thanksgiving yesterday. Hopefully I get more responses today.

I tried but couldn't find where it says to have current address on DL in AL. I guess we have to give them another $30 to print another card. I think you may have misunderstood me. She kept our previous joint account since it was hers originally anyways, I have a separate account myself and then we have a separate joint account (newly opened after she moved in with me). Say monthly bills (rent, car note, insurance etc) is 500, my wife transfers 250 (fixed amount) into our new joint account, I cover the other 250 plus food, gas for cars, credit card payments and other daily expenses for the month. First of the next month, I transfer whatever is left from my checks the previous month to my personal account. Hope this is clear now, so what do you think?? PS: This was the best I could come up with since money was the root cause of our problems to begin with.

Good day my VJ people! I've been going through the ROC forum this morning and I found some interesting things. I created this post to avoid hijacking other people's post. Most of you know my story My questions have to do finances and proof of living together. When we lived at my wife's house, both of our DLs carried that address. However, my wife had just renewed her license when I moved out, so we updated her address records with DMV online (we have a confirmation printout for this) without having a new DL issued with our new address on it while my own DL shows our new address. Do you think this will be an issue with USCIS?? I mean, USCIS can just run her DL #, right? or must we get a new DL for her with the new address on it?? As for joint account; I had stopped putting money in our joint account before I decided to move out so there is a gap. Then when she moved in with me, I didn't put her on the lease until I was sure she's truly back (a few months). We opened a new joint account where we put money for bills... Please note, I put all my checks (I get paid weekly) in the account, she contributes a fixed amount monthly, then I take out my balance at month's end. Will this also be an issue? the 3 months gap in joint account and the time elapsed before I added her to the lease? If so, what can we do?? In addition, my wife just recently agreed to put her social security check in the new joint account (first check is November), then we move out the balance to our individual accounts by month's end. If you were a USCIS officer, how would you feel about this?? Please be brutal! I need total honesty! I also need suggestions on anything that needs to be fixed. Thank you guys! Happy Thanksgiving!

You are good to go my bro. If she has ever applied for a US visa, make sure she did not claim to have been married or have kids for a higher chance of approval. Anything besides, fire on sir.

You schedule your own K1 appointment. Start looking for open spots now. Also, don't forget to do your police report, and give enough time between interview date and the present for your medicals; 2 weeks at least. Good luck

Hello, I know I'm kinda late to this post but I'd still like to offer my 2 cents. I went through similar issue wrt fake divorce decree. You know what they say about wanting to get something, you gotta do it by yourself? I believe this holds even more true when it comes to anything document in Nigeria. I never knew my divorce decree was fake, too, until consulate said so. I'm sure my ex also gave some person the money to do it for her. Anyways, since your husband got his citizenship through DV, that erases any notion that he might have divorced his ex through whatever crooked means in order to marry a citizen here and stay. Now, since he has handled the new divorce himself (this is what I did, too. I actually excused myself from work - my BM was very understanding - several times to attend court), I am now certain that the new divorce decree is legit. That's all you need really, is for the new decree to be legit. By now everyone knows that consulate knows very well how terrible we are when it comes to document forgery etc but they also understand that many people actually truly have no idea they were not getting legit documents. You most probably are not gonna encounter any issue, for all we know they may not even mention the old fraud case at all. I advise that you focus on what you have now and prepare accordingly. If (a big IF) you were ever asked about the previous fraud case, all you have to say is that your husband has since gone back to court to obtain a legit divorce document, this time he monitored it himself by being present. I am saying this so you would not walk into your interview more worried about this fraud case than the visa itself. Relax. Go kill them with that smile sis. You got this! Good luck! PS: I was never asked about my previous fake document. However, at some point the CO found it on her PC, she did not ask me anything but she called another lady to the window and they looked at it together. The other lady said something like 'oh he was denied before because of this? I don't think he needs a waiver, if he did they would never have approved his petition or sent it to us.' That's all that was said about it.
