I guess I am in the same page as you. but the difference is I am separated.

I do think that it's depend on the examiner too.

because me and my friend filed I-751 around same time and she didn't have any problem and it only took about 6 months for her to get a green card.

Her husband was in active duty, he still is.

And, funny thing is, me and my friend sent almost same type of document.

But why do I get a request mail that I need to send more evidence to prove it's a good marriage ?

I got the same letter like you did, I have to send it before december.8.

Good luck to us !

How on earth do you know this?

You are facing fraud charges. Best thing is to get a lawyer.

Exactly, How on Earth do you that she is facing Fraud charges, if this was my case and someone told me I was facing fraud charges my anxiety would go through the roof, plus nothing indicated they are facing fraud charges,

I just talked to a lawyer 2 days ago, and he said it's better to get divorced now even it would take longer than 30 days. So even I don't get a divorce decree I would still have complain for divorce which has been pending for years. And it shows that I was in the hardship relationship.

He also says that divorce is not the most important, I just need as many evidence to prove it is a bona fide marriage.

I was thinking that it's not fair because, me and my other friend (she is korean, got married to American) filed around same time and she didn't have any problem and it only took few month for her to get permanent green card. and most of evidence that me and my friend sent was same kind of document.

I just wanna think that I was unlucky to get the bad examiner who exmained my documents.

I also printed out all the old pictures that we had wedding showers and family union together. I really hope these help.

I called about 4 of my friends who can be my affidavit, I hope these help too.

That lawyer told me that "once I met this person and it was not bona fide marriage and it turned into a bona fide marriage. so she got a green card."

I think that is just not fair.

I just don't understand why they need more evidence when I sent, joint apartment contract, joint tax return, join insurance bills, joint tax return...and affidavit...

Please pray for me..

Thank you everyone.

"when I first filed I-751, we didn't live together but we were in the same state, husband signed the paper for me he wanted me to stay in US."

"he lives is Alaska and I am in Tennessee."

She is still trying to get the I-751 approved under false pretences. Best is she just starts over and does one with a waiver.

Still, that is just your opinion and nothing else as you do not know the details, etc. She should have divorced him awhile ago instead of separation, the only time separation would've been ok if they had actually gone to a marriage counselor to work on the marriage problems which would then help during the conditions removal.

rainedsoul - the letter that u received from immigration regarding lack of documentation, did that state anything specific that you need to provide to them? do you have any additional documentation that you can send to them? What about divorce? are you considering that or will u just stay "separated"?

Thank you so much JJBBKK for reply,

My husband wanted sign on the paper before he left to Alaska, that's why we don't have any joint document anymore.

I was going through paper work, and I did found a paper work that I did with lawyer before.

Once I was in the processing of divorce but we didn't actually get divorced.

The paper is " Complain for Divorce" and it was filed right before I filed I-751.

And it says, "The parties are still residing in the same residence as of the date of the signing of this complaint." <- we were living in the same apartment. this is before we got evicted from our apartment.

"The defendant is an enlisted member of the United States Army. He is assigned to the ********** at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Starting sometime around January 2005, the defendant started failing to report to duty at this unit at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, even though he was still living at the parties' residence at ** Drive, Apartment 11, Tennessee. Upon discovering the defendant's failure to report to duty, the plaintiff contacted the defendant's military unit; and the defendant's unit, at the time, was willing to forego any significant disiplinary action if the defendant would start reporting for duty and continue to do so. Despite his military unit's conciliatory position, the defendant still failed to report for duty; and he continues to be absent from his unit without leave."

So, I called his boss and boss said he is willing to accept my husband and start over but husband never went back to work. That time, I did NOT have driver license. so every time, I had to get a ride from my friend to take me places.

"The plaintiff is economically disadvantaged relative to the defendant; she is in need of support and maintenance from the defendant; and she is entitled to the same under the law of this state"

It also has information of Green Card,

"The plaintiff is a conditional permanent resident; and she entered the United States on September 21, 2004, based on the defendant's execution of an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). The execution of said affidavit of support created a contract between the defendant and the U.S. Government requiring the defendant to provide whatever support necessary to maintain the plaintiff at an income of at least 125 percent of the Federal poverty guideline....."

It was too long, it's like that.

So basically, I wanted to get divorced but he didn't wanna get divorced. He still didn't go back to his work but he wanted to be with me. People came to our apartment, husband received this "Complain for divorce" paper, didn't do anything. Then we got evicted from our apartment. That's how we got separated. I found a place to stay (friend's house), and he literally lived on the street without job for few months. Then later he got a minimum wage job. He asked me to get back together. I didn't want it any more. I didn't think it would work out again.

I still have eviction note under his / my name.

So, he signed the I-751, he wanted to get divorced after I get a green card. Then he left to Alaska around 2006 winter, we still talk and email each other.

I am going to see the same lawyer that I saw 3 years ago who filed "complain of divorce"

Should I start all over ? I have no idea if I have to send I-751 all over.

Thank you so much for your concern everyone.

I filed I-751 June 2005 but never heard anything for while.

My friend suggested me just go to Local office to do finger printing.

Well, that went well. but I still never heard anything. I had to make info pass to extend my green card for 1 more year.

The thing is, when I first filed I-751, we didn't live together but we were in the same state, husband signed the paper for me he wanted me to stay in US.

In my state, there is no law for separation, officially we are married but now we don't have any joint account and he lives is Alaska and I am in Tennessee.

I had to do my Biometric test (Sep 23, 2008) again some reason, I got a letter (Oct 27, 2008) that I need more evidence to prove my marriage.

But now we don't have any joint account or anything.

Dec 2003 Married

Sep 2004 Moved to US

Oct 2004 Got temporary Green Card

June 2006 Filed I-751

Dec 2006 Biometric

Oct 2007 went to Local office to extend my Green Card (supposed to be expired Sep 2006)

Oct 2007 Got a letter says, "Your case has been randomly chosen for an interview, we are awaiting scheduling information from your local distric office."

Neverheard anything since then

Aug 2008 went to local office to extend my Green Card again, they didn't let me cause it's 2 months before expiration.

Sep 2008 Got a letter that I need Biometirc test, don't know why. Did a Biometirc Again.

Oct 2008 Got a letter says, my document is insufficient to prove marriage.

The reason why I got separated was, since we moved US (I didn't have driver license,,anything) some reason he started to not to get paid. for about 4 months. He kept acting like he was going to work and later I found all the receipt in the car. It was the time when he was supposed to be at work such as walmart..movie theater..all kinda stuff. MP came home later to look for him but he didn't open the door. Later I found out that He was in AWOL ("Absent Without Official Leave")

That's why he didn't get paid and we didn't have money. I spent all the money that I brought from Korea. Later we got evicted from our apartment.

I found korean friend and she let me stay in her house. But he literally lived on the street with no job for while. That's how we got separated.

He still told me he was not in AWOL and it's military fault, oh well he still didn't go back and kicked out of army.

First time when I filed I-751 we had joint tax return, account, bills

But now got this letter I have to prove our marriage was under the faith, I do NOT have any joint bills or anything.

I am going to see the lawyer on Nov. 4 Tuesday.

I am really afraid and don't know what to do, they said I will have to respond before Dec.8 or my Green Card will be terminated.

I graduate technical college with Associate degree in Healthcare Technology, I am working at the Lab in the hospital right now.

I went back to college, Now I am going to school for Nursing.

I don't know what would help....

I do have a boyfriend (I met him after I got separated with my husband) and We were going to get married after I get my green card and divorce with my ex husband.

But if I do that now, it would seem more suspicious, right ?

Do I have to file I-751 all over again and pay chunk of money again ?

Have you seen any similar case? I am so scared that they would terminate my Green Card...

Any advice ? please help me. Thank you guys ..
