K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice: is it a good idea to pay a lawyer for help with K-3?
Generally speaking, if you're not an idiot, you can do it yourself.

If you are an idiot when it comes to filing papers and decide to hire an immigration
attorney to do it for you, no problem - just make sure the attorney you hire is not
an idiot. A lot of "immigration lawyers" out there are complete idiots who don't
know the first thing about immigration.

A friend of mine hired one such idiot lawyer who told him that the I-130 could
not be filed concurrently with the I-485. The idiot filed the I-130 first and wasted
6 months of my friend's time while he was out of status waiting for its approval.

Be very careful who you hire.

Just my 2c.

Shouldn't be a problem if the father is a US citizen.

You have to register the birth abroad, but the child is a natural born US citizen.

You became an LPR based on marriage, right? So you had to have gone through the AOS process. They would have checked the dates on the divorce decree and caused problems at that time and not issued a green card.

I'm guessing they didn't submit the divorce decree because her husband didn't realise
he was married.

USCIS have no way of checking a person's marital status (too many states, too many
registries), so they have to go on the information supplied by the applicant.

Not necessarily illegal (though it could be), but I would say it's certainly immoral for the husband to do so knowing that the friend is planning to submit that letter as evidence in order to commit immigration fraud.

Isn't it immoral not to help a friend in need? I certainly wouldn't put "USCIS morals" above my friend's.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 Documentation
QUOTE (lucyrich @ Apr 23 2008, 12:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Nitpick: In the N-400 instructions, they only request proof of citizenship for the US Citizen, similar to what they request for the I-130 or I-129F. A birth certificate can be one perfectly good way to fulfill this requirement, assuming the citizen was born in the US. But in our case, we've always submitted the US Citizen's passport as proof of citizenship, from the initial I-129F/I-130 and everything since.

In the checklist that comes with the interview letter, they explicitly request the US Citizen's birth certificate. This marks the first time during the entire proces when we've had to dig up this particular document.

Why do they need all that info on the US Citizen when the US Citizen is no longer needed for the alien to naturalize?

My wife was charged but she was not convicted of her offense. Would it be more correct to answer NO?

Did she enter a guilty plea and/or agree to a plea bargain? If she did, it was an admission

I have heard that she has to wait for 5 years because of her shoplifting incident.

She can have the criminal record expunged after 5 years. If an expungement is granted
by a judge, she can treat the event as if it never happened. In fact, she can even deny
that it ever happened under oath and won't be committing perjury in doing so.

Unfortunately, the USCIS is an exception to this rule -- if she decides to naturalize, she will
absolutely have to divulge all arrests and convictions, even after they have been expunged.

Her criminal history might also show up in an FBI check. The FBI are governed by federal
law, not state law, and as such, they are not required to honor expungement orders from
a state court.

QUOTE
Hi, I am a naturalized U.S Citizen, happily married for close to 4 years with a beautiful child. My wife has been a green card holder for 3 years and wants to apply for her citizenship. 6 months ago she moved to California because she got into pharmacy school while I stayed in Florida because of work. I visit her once a month and she comes down to Florida during breaks. After she is done with school, she will move back to Florida.


Translated into what an IO will hear: Hi, I'm a naturalized U.S Citizen, married for convenience to a friend of mine from India - her parents paid me to do it. My wife has been a green card holder for 3 years because of our sham marriage and now she wants to apply for citizenship as soon as possible so she doesn't get kicked out of the country when we divorce a week after she is naturalized. 6 months ago she moved to California because she really didn't give a damn about me or our marriage and just wants to get ahead in her own independent life. I stayed in Florida because I don't care about her either, and I'm just doing it for the money. I visit her to let her see the kid once in a while - neither of us really wanted the baby but we got drunk one evening a while back and, well, one thing led to another, even though we said we wouldn't. She visits the kid during vacations, and I guess the kid is good for making our relationship look official. After she's done with school, she'll move back to Florida, but only because of the child, not because of "us". I've already found someone else who I see while she's away, which is why I rarely visit.

Actually the risks if the IO descides he thinks there is fraud (which is what it is called if she is applying on the basis of a current marriage and the IO thinks that they are not properly in marital union while claiming they are) include a potential of more than just the N400 being denied - immigration fraud can also be a basis for deportation and loosing of her current Permanent Resident status.

Only if they can prove it was fraudulent to begin with, not if they got separated or even divorced
AFTER her I-751 had been approved (which, again, is perfectly legal.)

There's nothing in the OP's post that suggests any fraud or wrongdoing. The only question is,
is she eligible for naturalization after only three years of residence or five.

The larger picture is being missed here. Those involved in the adjudication and examination of immigration applicants and applications are charged with the duty to prevent immigration fraud. This means that they will not just examine applications in light of specific CFR sections, but rather will examine applications using the full spectrum of tools provided to them under the law.

And from a plain old common sense standpoint, why try and push the envelope? Better to stay on solid ground, file when the application is certain to be approved with no fuss, and save yourself time and money.

Pick your battles. If you need to beat "The Man", then challenge your next parking ticket in court or do something else where the consequences of being wrong really don't matter. Don't screw around and try and be "clever" when something as important and life-changing as naturalization is concerned.

If you have not committed any fraud or deception, why should you be afraid of "The Man"?

The law is on the OP's side - he's not trying to be "clever" or "screw around".

Separation due to business or occupational demands is not considered "informal separation".

Involuntary separation.

In the event that the applicant and spouse live apart because of circumstances beyond
their control, such as military service in the Armed Forces of the United States or
essential business or occupational demands, rather than because of voluntary legal
or informal separation, the resulting separation, even if prolonged, will not preclude
