This was a very long and drawn out process for a number of reasons. My wife and I filed the petition jointly in December 2017 and approximately 8 months later we got divorced. Following the divorce I left the USA and went to Ireland and the UK. I returned to the USA 3 months later. In January of 2019 I filed a request for a waiver to allow for the application to be filed as an individual as I was now divorced and would be staying in the USA.
Some time later I received a Request for Evidence (RFE) stating that myself and now ex wife had failed to prove our marriage was in good faith. The areas highlighted were co-habitation and financial.
This said, I then set to work over the next 2 months gathering additional evidence to prove the marriage was legitimate. Admittedly my ex-wife was not very helpful and only provided a small amount of evidence in terms of paperwork and written statements following numerous requests. (In hindsight she was very uncooperative)
Before submission I consulted with an immigration attorney twice to confirm what would be good evidence initially and once gathered I had him go over it. (He was not overly confident, but stated if it went to court it would certainly be enough).
Having collected all I could (the list of evidence is long) I submitted it all neatly and simply and hoped for the best. Approximately 50 days later I got a case status update saying that my new card was being produced. It was a nerve wracking experience that I'm sure many lose sleep over and right now I am happy that I have some options. |
