Immigration Site

Hello,

I am Canadian and married an American in November 2007. We filed for Divorce in July 2010 and it was approved today (September 14th). I filed my I751 mid July 2010 (It was due by August 8th, 2010) and checked that we married in good faith. I have read that immigration will send me a request for a copy of my final divorce judgment and decree. What I am wondering is should I mail them my Final judgment and decree of divorce asap or should i wait to receive a letter from immigration requesting this?

Does anyone know what my chances of being approved for my 10yr GC would be. Does this happen often or is it a complicated situation. My ex-husband would not sign the I751 and that is why i had to file seperate.

My time line is as follows:

11/07 - Married
04/08 - Filed I 485
08/08- interview with spouse at immigration
08/08 - I 485 approved
07/10 - Filed I751 without spouse
08/10 - Biometrics testing appointment
09/10 - Divorce finalized

Any advice would be great, thank you!!

Miss,

Be prepared to support your contention that your marriage was bona fide. What documentation do you have to proof and satisfy USCIS that you were married for love not the green card? I hope you know that you were suppose to include evidence with the I-751, and if you did, what did you include? When did you and your spouse separate? (if separation occured). Do you have any children? Also, if when you filed for removal of conditions you were living at a new place, did you complete AR-11 (change of address with USCIS). Did your marriage end amicably or the were hot acid thrown around each other? I am asking this because if your spouse is bitter, he or she can make the removal of conditions a hot pepper on your soul, by objecting to your green card renewal by claiming marriage fraud. While some of these charges might not stick, it is possible it will delay your case and costs you huge ballz of money...

Wow, ok let me see here. Yes I did fill out the AR-11 form. Also i included written and signed affidavits from 2 people about our relationship and marriage. I also included our last 2 years worth of tax returns, the life insurance policy with my name on it, a copy of the health insurance from his work with my name on it a couple of joint bills also. I did not include our wedding pictures as we had taken them in to the first interview with us.
We are civil to each other but not buddy buddy. We filed an uncontested divorce and I dont believe that he would tell immigration I dont deserve the 10 yr gc. Should I go to the interview alone or should I ask him to come with me or even write a letter stating that we married in good faith but just fell out of love? Also I am the one who filed for divorce so would immigration take that into consideration. If I married him to avoid immigration laws I wouldnt have filed for divorce from him, or will they not see it that way.

OK, it seems as if the evidence that you submitted will suffice, but it is possible that you will be called for interview. On the form, what did you check as the basis for removing conditions? Part 2 has choice from A-G. Once again, when did you and your husband separate from each other? Meaning, stop living physically in the same household? If he wont contest to USCIS giving you the 10 yrs green card, USCIS still reserves the right to independently assess your circumstance and either approve or deny your petition.

Since you are the one who filed for divorce, USCIS is going to place a burden on you to proof that your marriage was bona fide. I will see if I can dig the thread from people who were asked to appear for interview regarding removal of conditions. Marriage photos arent necessary. You just cant fall out of love for no reason...lol!!! USCIS doesnt care why your marriage ended, whether it was to evade immigration purpose is what they are concerned about.
