    Would this be enough?

    Hello VJ community,

    I had citizenship interview a couple of weeks ago and IO gave me N-14 after passing the interview.

    I need to prove send documentations to support bona fide marriage (I am now divorced)

    Here is what I have so far:

    1) Joint bank account (2004- 2007)

    2) Joint club membership

    3) Joint Fed and state tax returns (2004-2006)

    4) Joint health insurance policy

    5) Student loans (both names)

    6) Auto insurance both names (2004-2007)

    7) Joint Mutual fund account

    8) Pictures together

    9) Affidavit support letter from 2 friends

    Any feedback would be appreciated!

    The worst interview experience :(

    Really don't have to have marriage fraud problems to have a bad interview, can also be accused of battery charges when you were 17 months old living in a different country you are expected to prove you are innocent of. If Russ Feingold didn't give me a personal introduction to Herb Kohl, the senator that deals with the south part of state, don't know what I would have done, this new guy, Ron Johnson, never even heard of the USCIS. But he promises to cut taxes.

    Your post is a bit choppy, did you remarry in your process? That would be a negative against you, three ways to come here, the lottery, work visa, and marriage, they really pick on marriage. Wifes' IO really drilled her on this subject with a rather long 43 minute interview of which less than two minutes was spent with the civics and English tests, wanting to see all of our evidence, original divorce and marriage certificate and read our joint tax returns with a fine tooth comb. Even asked for a worthless joint utility bill, surprise, we had one, even though that is not even called for a evidence of a valid marriage. But she passed where then her application was "accidentally" misplaced. Then accused of being a prostitute three times! Russ fixed that in a hurry with even a letter of apology from the office manager and an immediate oath ceremony, not common to that crazy St. Paul office, and no, she did not wear a Packers jacket to the interview. Still don't know why we were not assigned to the Milwaukee office, but there is where we had all of our biometrics appointments.

    Feel the I-751 is a bit worthless, ignoring is a form of a abuse, all a spouse has to do is to ask you a question and if you don't respond in a half a second, can claim abuse, get a divorce and still get their ten year card. Just saying there are options. Interviews are rare for the I-751, and we were never called in, another headache, with many calls to the USCIS, those idiots never knew our application was sent from Nebraska to California and said we had to wait due to that fictitious processing date posted by that irresponsible USCIS. That was the first time I called Russ, his Rebeca squared that up in minutes, and ten days later, just days before that stupid one year extension was going to expire, those cards came in. Just saying, they are lax on the I-751, but can really hit you during your N-400 interview, my wife was. God, I wish I was with her on her interview, least for the marriage evidence part, from what my wife told me, her IO was an idiot. But these were our problems, what about yours?

    Were you legally separated at the time you applied for the I-751? That would be a major problem, plus getting remarried afterwards. What would really tip the scales if married to a person from your home country. These details were left out. You stated you had an attorney with you at the interview, what about filing the I-751, was an attorney involved with that as well with poor advice? As long as you can prove this marriage was entered in good faith, shouldn't be a problem, but should have been specified in the I-751 application. Really don't know what to say about that.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply. No I did not remarry in the process or anything like that. The only issue is that we were separated before I-751 was approved. They are asking for papers I will send them.

    Here is the list of everything, please let me know if this look good:

    1) A student loan account - in both of our names

    2) Joint Bank account (both saving and checking from 2003-2007)

    3) Joint auto insurance (from 2004-2007)

    4) Joint Baily Gym membership.

    5) Joint Health insurance (United health care from 2004-2006)

    6) 401(k) account together (when we were marriage)

    7) Pictures with family and friends (trips together)

    8) Loan account together from a furniture store.

    9) A letter from my old boss as a affidavit support.

    10) Money market account in both of our names. (account closed on 2009)

    11) Tax returns from 2004 -2007 (files jointly)

    That is all I have so far..

    Divorce right after GC

    Update:

    Just finished my second interview. Went in with an attorney. Got APPROVED and can finally breathe. Word of advice for all PR's out there who think they can tackle the system themselves when things get complicated: get a lawyer. My mistake was filing for GC, divorce & N-400 myself, without seeking legal advice, which was a huge mistake. Even though my case was different and I had a perfect explanation for everything, the IO was not interested in listening to it. He wanted none of it. He just saw the black and white letter of the law. He wanted to deny my case at first and if it wasn't for my attorney, he probably would have.

    Good luck to all!

    Congrats!!! I'm glad to hear that! Can you please explain what exactly did your attorney do for you?

    "He just saw the black and white letter of the law. He wanted to deny my case at first and if it wasn't for my attorney, he probably would have."

    I do not understand this part? I am facing the same situation and IO requested for more documentations to prove bona fide marriage. However, I do have solid grounds proof but still have many concerns.

    Thank you in advance.

    Well but we got back together just a couple months after first separation. And things were fine when we filed jointly for I-751. And did not get divorce till 2 years later. Well I need to fired my lawyer since she advised me not to say explain anything at all! I guess I forgot my common sense at home..just let the lawyer set me up for more money. Shame on me! LOL

    I have solid evidence and documentations since 2003 by the way. Car loans together, mortgage, insurance, checking, saving, Roth IRA accounts ect. Tons of trips together plus my ex-spouse is willing to write affidavit support for me. If this doesn't work out then I will give up to pursue citizenship. I'm sure other people have to sent RFI during N-400, this can not be just me. *SIGH*

    Thanks again everyone!

    My lawyer told me that it is okay to be separated and still file for I-751 as long as your citizenship spouse still sponsor you. Also the separation date wasn't correct on the divorce paper, my lawyer insisted that it would not be an issue but it sure did.

    My advice to everyone in here. Sometime you can not really have too much faith in your immigration lawyer. I prepared all of the documentations to prove that it is bona fide marriage I would have show everything to IO but again my lawyer said not necessary. I can go on and on... now my lawyer is asking me for more thousands of dollars to put gather paper together for me. Sorry, I could have done it myself-- making copies and gather everything together and mail the package. **SIGH** This is very depressing!

    Hello,

    I just got back from my citizenship interview and they can not made a decision. They are asking for more documentations to show that I was in a bona fide marriage since I was separate before I removed conditional green card. To make matter worse, I hired the WORST immigration to come with me and had advised and gave me wrong information.

    Anyone in here have had the same experience? I am very disappointed! I'm in the process of gathering all of the evidence and documentations.

    Any good advice for further action?

    Thank you!

    Very disappointed applicant :(
