Honest to God, we didn't think there was anything wrong with this. But there clearly is, so we'll make alternate arrangements. This will be my last reply. Feel free to shut down the thread.

Really?   Then why are you contemplating fraud to marry someone you don’t know or love, for a green card?

 

 

Again, we weren't perceiving it as fraud. And the motivation for this whole thing is because my wife can't bear the thought of hurting me, and if she breaks up with my while I'm still in love with her, she will devastate me.

Then why ask these questions about trying to stay here and attempting to deceive USCIS?

We weren't perceiving it as a deception, but we after your feedback, we will certainly reconsider.

I'm not implying anything.  I am calling you out on your fraud.  

Super that your country has a greater standard of living than the US.  Socialized medicine.  Wow.  Go back home.  It's paradise.  

You wouldn't pick the US, but you are damn sure about committing immigration fraud to live here.  Ha. Ha. LIAR.  

I'm not lying, and you're not offering constructive criticism. Like I already explained, we, knowing all the unique details of the situation, don't perceive this as fraud. However, if under the eyes of the law it is fraud, then we will certainly reconsider.

Then if you love your wife. 

Do the best for her. Divorce her and leave. That is the kindest thing to do. 

If this "crush" develops into something more real you can work on it from your home country. 

Being in the US for under a year really isn't all that long. You should be able to go back and pick up the pieces of your old life. 

 

I certainly don't want to get her in trouble, and after this feedback from you all, we will certainly reconsider this plan.

If she has difficulty with new surroundings/ difficulty around strangers. 

I suggest you employ a good, competent lawyer for the eventual interview. 

If your interviewer suspects anything about your relationship being on shaky ground they might just try to intimidate your wife. 

If you love her... do you really want her to go through a Stokes interview?

Or be told you are only using her for a Green Card? 

Warning her she could be charged with a crime... think very carefully about how you want to continue in this life. 

She doesn't have difficulty with new surroundings or around strangers. Asperger's is different for everyone. The issue here is, despite my best efforts to accommodate her, I keep unintentionally triggering her and it's driving her insane. I still love her and she still loves me, but at the same time, I'm driving her literally insane. Her mental condition has been on a steady decline since we started living together. She just can't handle living with someone else.

Thank you for your advice.

Someone asked, is your new love USC? @andrecfa

I wouldn't call it a new love, yet. More like a potential new wife. A girl who has a crush on me and might be interested in hoking up with me.

And yes, she's a USC.

It doesn't matter what YOU think, tbh. It matters what USCIS thinks and they WILL see it that way. Most people understand "bona fide" to mean "real and valid". This is true but in the legal system, words have very specific and narrow definitions, which is the way USCIS uses their terminology because USCIS is, you know, a law enforcement agency. In the legal system, "bona fide" means "without intention to deceive". The point of the green card interview is to prove to USCIS that you're in a bona fide marriage because the burden of responsibility falls on the applicants and petitioners. After all, it is OUR marriages, not the marriage of the USCIS officer, that is put under scrutiny. If your marriage is basically over to the point that divorce is on the horizon, your marriage is no longer considered "bona fide" and to not disclose the status of your marriage to USCIS would be (wait for it) deceptive and fraudulent.

I see

Yeah, no. That right there looks suspicious. If you say “I haven’t fallen in love with her friend yet” it makes it look like this is all planned out, especially when you throw in the expression “long- term roadmap “

 

Oh, so convenient!

Because you’ll divorce your wife, and so the basis of the petition would be gone. Moreover, if you do divorce but don’t tell the interviewer, it will be considered immigration fraud and will bite you in the back one way or another. 
If you hide the truth, it’s because you know that what you’re doing is wrong.

Look, you're assuming an awful lot of things. You don't know any of us.

Okay. Thank you.

• this current wife is going to sign the I 864 at your AOS to sponsor u for the next 10 years? / highly doubtful 
• is this new love a USC?  u can not AOS thur a different USC

My current wife has to agree to sponsor me for 10 years at the AOS? We didn't know that

Are you completely sure? I read somewhere else that the law was changed in recent years allowing the restrictions to be lifted through a second marriage.

16 minutes ago, mushroomspore said:

I think the wife's friend is likely in the USA too since the wife is the US citizen petitioner. But I agree with your overall points. Why the need to jump from one woman to the next immediately? 

So then you acknowledge that your plan is fraudulent and has immensely negative ramifications. As Crazy Cat pointed out, USCIS can ask you anything about your history and current circumstances at any point in the process, even after naturalization. There are cases of citizenship being stripped due to lies and other untruths being found out.

She is, yes. Because if my wife breaks up with me while I'm still in love with her, which I am, it will be devastating for me. She's extremely nice and doesn't want to hurt me, no matter what, so she's thought up of this whole thing.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it fraudulent... But I understand how USCIS will see it that way.

8 minutes ago, ROK2USA said:

Let me understand this correctly. 

You entered the US sometime in June-August 2021. 

Your wife decided marriage wasn't for her when? 

And not even a year later you've decided you love someone else?

 

My generous interpretation of your question and answer:

1.) You should try to work on the marriage with your wife. Usually the first year is the most difficult. 

 

My honest answer: 

2.) You should go back home because adjusting via your current wife when you are in a relationship/ in love with someone else seems like immigration fraud. 

 

Also you should be honest with the interviewer. You are no longer in love and are no longer in a bonafide relationship... 

My wife has been having difficulty for the last 9 months or so. She has Asperger's syndrome, and is having a lot of difficulty adapting to living in close proximity with someone else.

I haven't fallen in love with her friend yet, but we do have a lot in common. This is more like a long term roadmap. A lot can happen along the way. Her friend might even decide that she doesn't like me after all.

We've been to marriage counseling and had several interventions with her parents, both of which have experience with this sort of thing. Married living is just being too overwhelming for her.

I see. Thank you.

Did you file for AOS before or after you decided to get divorced?

We've filed almost a year before.

Your situation have more red flags than a Chinese parade. Looks like a visa shopping.

 

Maybe I’m old fashion but you are still married and have a plan to when divorced marry the friend of your wife that you doesn’t have a long (none) relationship?? 
 

If you are really in love with the new person why don’t you file for divorce, to travel back to your country, take the time to meet this person better and than decide to marry?

 

Just for curiosity, how old are you, your current wife and the new one? And which country are you from?

 

 

It's admittedly very unusual. I wasn't expecting to run into something like this.

Yes, we're still married. This was actually my wife's idea... I want to get to know her friend a lot better before deciding anything. This is a long term plan, susceptible to changes depending on how things unfold. 

I do like her a lot. Traveling back is definitely an option, but it took ages to get the k1 approved the first time, including a trip to another country to get the interview done, so if we could avoid going through that again, it would be fantastic. Also, I'm not entirely sure that my wife's friend would meet the minimum income guidelines for a k1.

We're all around 30.

Do you plan to inform the IO of this plan at the adjustment of status interview?

Why would we do that? Of course not.

21 minutes ago, Crazy Cat said:

IMHO, your current marriage could easily be seen as a marriage strictly for immigration benefits.  If you have to remove conditions later, it could be heavily scrutinized then, too, imo. In fact, I would expect heavy scrutiny. 

It's not. But I see your point.

Note that not all law enforcement personnel have complete understanding of this sort of allowable stays. If you happen to accost a badass cop, he could still report you to ICE, you could be detained but will ultimately released thru court or interior review.

Yes, I realize that. Thanks.

It's probably a good idea to avoid calling yourself "out-of-status" as that gives people the wrong idea. Better to describe yourself as "in authorized stay" or "pending adjustment of status."

I know. I just wanted to make clear that I understand that someone can be both out-of-status and authorized to stay.

1 minute ago, arken said:

Let's put in this way, your stay in the US is allowed at this time with pending i485 but it's not giving you any status.

Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to confirm. I know I'm out-of-status, I just wasn't sure if the letters I received authorized my stay or not because of what they write at the top of the page.

So if some sort of situation involving law enforcement arises and I have to show them my docs, these letters plus my passport will prove that my stay is presently authorized, despite the expired I-94. Right?

6 minutes ago, Boiler said:

Authorised is the wrong word but are now in pending adjustment never never land.

So what you mean to say is, my stay in the US will only be "authorized pending AOS approval" when I receive a letter without the bold statement? Would that letter also be part of NOA1 or will it be NOA2?

I'm a K1 fiance. I married within the first 90 days in the US, and filed for AOS within that time. My I-94 has expired recently. I've received a few I-797c notice of action letters in the mail, which I believe constitutes the NOA1, but I'm not 100% sure because at the top of these letters, it's written in bold that, "This notice does not grant any immigration status or benefit."

Do these letters mean that my stay in the US is presently authorized pending my AOS approval? Or will that only be the case when I receive a letter without the bold statement?

normalmente vai  tudo por e-mail .. estive  em  paris em  junho 19

Obrigado pela resposta. Pois, em todo o lado fala numa carta, num pacote de imigração... estava à espera de uma carta física, não de um email...

Entretanto recebi uma resposta da embaixada. Eles dizem que enviaram um email uma semana depois da notificação do NVC, mas nós não recebemos nada...

A meu pedido reenviaram o email e agora chegou. Já agendei a entrevista e a consulta com o medico. Resta ver se vou ter de adiar tudo ainda mais por causa da porcaria do covid-19...

Hi.

I've a couple questions about the Paris embassy and I was suggested to ask in this subforum.

- I'm living in Portugal, so the interview will have to be done in Paris. On the 21th of January we received a notice from the National Visa Center saying that our case was forwarded to the embassy. But it's been almost two months now and I haven't received anything from the embassy so far. Does anyone know if it this is normal?

- Also, Our CEAC status says "Ready". Is it okay for us to fill in our DS-160 and schedule an interview through the link bellow? Despite the fact we haven't received the letter yet? I've contacted the embassy though their form two weeks ago but received no reply...

It depends on the embassy, I guess?

I was in similar situation a while ago, my status was Ready but embassy didn’t reach at us as they hadn’t received our case yet and they told me I might be able to proceed next steps once I receive an instruction letter from them. (But my case was transferred from one embassy to another, so maybe little bit different?) three weeks later, we got a notification letter from embassy and booked the interview. All I want to suggest is keep communicating with embassy via either call or email... good luck! 🍀 

Okay, thank you. I'd love to communicate with the embassy but they didn't answer the email I sent them two weeks ago via contact form... 😕 

I found out where I'm supposed to schedule the interview, but I'm pretty hesitant to do this without having received the letter. Is it really okay?

Because at every choice it says something down the lines of "I have received instructions to schedule an interview appointment date from the U.S. Embassy where I will be interviewed".
