Yes, I did send some more evidences but it was tough. A lot of utility companies dont keep records for more than 16 months and since I moved out, I didnt have access to our old bills in the house. I never updated the beneficiary on my life insurance so I was able to get that without any problem.

And yes, unfortunately, I do have an interview next week.

Well the interview is what you want! You want a chance to explain all that stuff!

Good luck! Hope they see sense!

Byg4857,

You are mostly welcome to join the 751-waiver thread for people who filed the 751 with a waiver such a divorce, death..etc.

But I also received a RFE and since we are divorced, it was really hard to obtain the evidence.

What did you send? Did you get an interview?

They don't seem to be questioning our joint address, as they have lots of things with our joint address on it. But will see what i have.

The divorce happened as my ex-wife had some issues that she had to go for therapy for. Became Bi-Polar and split personality disorder. She was medicated and it was how she changed as a person that over time saw us break apart. What sucks, is that it was all down to things her father did to her as a chile, abandoning her and things, and it was me who wanted to help her sort them out. She is fine now, a different person, but fine. But at the cost of our marriage.

I have put my evidence this time in month order. With that months bank statements, emails and pictures etc. I dont have anymore documents to send really. She destroyed all of them, kind of knowing i would need them!

Well if after 9years and all the documents you sent they are still giving you trouble, then i don't have much hope

I sent in 7 affidavits of support, including one from my ex-wife!

They didn't list any extra documents, apart from the ones for financial responsibility.

Crazy thing is, i got a fiance visa first and had to prove it was legit 3yrs ago. So weird!

I filed as divorced.

I was not able to be added to the credit card accounts, as i had zero credit rating. I would had had to pay the credit card company money to have the card, so we never did.

Thanks, i will send more copies....

Hey Everyone

Everyone on here has helped me out so much over the past couple of years, so i am calling on you all again to help me solve one last thing.

My marriage sadly ended in divorce after about 20months of being married. I filed for removal and the response was that they needed more evidence of 'Significant financial responsibility' for the term of the marriage.

My wife already had a house, and to add my name to the mortgage would have meant a new policy in a bad housing economy. So we never changed the names, and we never thought to add my name to utility bills, we just paid them. We had joint medical and car insurance, joint phone contracts, joint car loan, files our tav returns together to show all this, and they still want more? So i managed to get copies of our joint bank account statements to send in, will this be enough on top of what i sent before? My wife kind of purposely destroyed a lot of the documents i would have needed to prove us both paying the bills.

I didn't get married so i could add my name to financial ties just to prove that i married the the right reasons. I don't get why the immigration service see commitment and a healthy marriage in a financial way - its very annoying! If thats how they view it, anybody could come into the US and just get joint financial responsibilities, and viola! you're in! It sucks!

If anyone can help me out with anything else i could send in, or if anyone else has been in a similar situation?

Thanks to all in advance!!!

Also, it says in the instructions for the I-751 that i must file no earlier than 90days before my status is up (November in my case). But we have been Married for 2yrs really soon! What do i do here? File anyway after the divorce has gone through?

Thanks!!!

Thanks guys for your help and the links you gave me.

I spoke with my wife and she wants it done as soon as possible as she is seeing someone else. So its been an interesting last week i can tell you.....

I am going to get the papers and sort it out this week. At the moment she doesn't seem to be very cooperative with helping me with my evidence that i need to support my application. So i think it will be a tough one to get through but i know i have enough evidence to prove the truth in all this.

I do have a question - do i need to tell the USCIS that i am getting the divorce? Will it harm any international travel i have to do for work?

Once again, thanks for all the help and advice!!!

Whats the procedure for this? Do i have to follow through with a divorce before the filing of the I-175?

Whats the best way to do it so that i follow procedure with the US Immigration?

Thanks!!!

HI

I have been in your shoes before, the only obtion you have if things did not work out between you and your wife is the following, after your divorce is final go ahead and file to remove condition on the ground that you entered the marriage in good faith, but it ended with divorce, in this case you have to prove that your marriage was in good faith, you can do so by providing any thing or documents proving that you guys had a life together such as: joint bank account, life insurance policy, lease or mortgage with both names, wedding pics, tax return that you filed jointly, notorized affedavit from friends/ family stating for how long they knew you guys, and that they knew you as a married couple, letters or greeting cards sent to you and her from her family member, birth certeficate of children if there is any. this list is not all there other things you can find the more the better in your case. I posted a thread about a year and a half ago in visa journey I listed in it all the documents I sent with my application. Just one advice I think it will help you to have an immigration lawyer take care of your application, I really knew I was able to do it my self but just to give my self some peace of mind I hired a lawyer, he at least will make sure you have all the documents needed sent so you dont have to go through the interview, they will just approve your application without intervie. PS you can not file untill your divorce is final,when you apply you will be granted a one year extention immidiately pending your application.

GOOD LUCK

Thanks so much for this!!! I have so many things that support the relationship. We even went on a vacation with each other for a week a few months back to see if that would help us. I have a good immigration lawyer, i have done every other application myself up until now, but i think i will use her this time around.

Once again, thanks for the post!!!!

Agreed. That's what i did too, one of my notarized affidavits was from our marriage counselor. Praise God, my waiver was approved at VSC in 3 months without a lawyer, an interview or RFE.

I believe they look at the counseling letter as a BIG sign of good faith since you're trying to make things work, not just someone who got excited about getting a GC and doesn't care anymore about his/her marriage.

Oh totally, i spent a lot of time helping her through the counseling process. Immigration was just part of wanting to be with her you know, but now my life is here and it would be more traumatic to go back than to continue things here. And like i say, you never know what might happen with her later on down the road....

Thanks for the post!

This is why I don't go on VJ much anymore. I will NEVER understand the need to be rude when someone asks a question, EVEN IF it's already been addressed elsewhere.

byg4857, I'm sorry for what you're going through, hun. I'm sure you'll get the help you need here. None of us are in your situation, and I'm sure it's daunting and you probably can't even think straight.

I hope you get things sorted out; best of luck to you.

Thanks for the support!! Not bothered by the first post, for every idiot there are a million normal people Thanks again! Feeling a little better.....

Hey Everyone

I hope that some of you on here can help me shed some light on this matter, not quite sure where else to turn to at the moment.

I married a US citizen in July 2008 and everything was PERFECT!! We even broke records at the US Embassy in the UK for our filing for the K1 visa application - thats how much evidence we had to support our relationship. After moving over i set about starting my new life with my new wife, we had known each other for 3years at this point.

Over time, things started to change. My wife began to have difficulty with a lot of work issues and over the space of a year completely changed as a person and had some real issues that had to be sorted out. The relationship suffered and i moved out for a time. Soon after we went through months of counseling with her to help her through these issues. I never moved back in with her, but kept supporting her through her hard times with sorting herself out. Its been over 9months since we lived together and have tried to get back together 4 times. Everything is good for a month, but then it seems we are now different people after our hard times and it keeps failing.

She now says she wants a divorce, and with that has turned my life upside down. I always thought we would work it out, but it seems her mind is made up after a month of trying to reason with her.

I left my family and my life in my own country to be with her, and started my own business over in the US. I have great friends and a great way of life here that i never expected to have so quickly. If i can, i would rather stay here and continue my life - who knows maybe even see where things go with my soon to be ex-wife after the craziness settles.

I have read that i can file for my 10yr by myself? IS this the case? If so, what is the process i must now follow?

What do i need from my wife for this to happen? Is it just easier to get a good immigration lawyer and go from there?

Any help that anyone can offer on this will be much appreciated!

Many Thanks In Advance!!

Yes, my AOS is complete and i have my 2year permanent resident card. I've had my 'Welcome to the USA' letter, have my Social Security and everything.

Hello Everyone

I have been married for just over a year to my US wife. After a few months of marriage, things started to turn very bad indeed and 8 months later we are now looking at divorce due to us exhausting all other ways of trying to live constructive lives with each other. I entered the US on a fiance visa and pretty much severed all contact with my home country. I now have a life in the US that would be hard for me to give up. I have heard about being able to petition that the marriage was in good faith and being able to stay - is this the case? If so, what do i need to help prove this fact? Is it the same as proving it for a fiance visa?

Many Thanks in advance!!
