I didn't get an AOS interview so I wasn't surprised to get one for the RoC plus, I forget to detail in my original i-751 package the personal details of why my marriage ended in divorce.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

From my timeline;

My interview was scheduled for 0915. I arrived at 0900. I was seen at 0930 by Officer Johnson. He explained to me that he is filling in for someone who called in sick and he hasn't had chance to review my case. I could see my paperwork was 3 inches thick and the inch thick RoC evidence I had provided was in a separate folder as my file was too large to contain it. He made me swear to be truthful to the questions he was going ask. He asked me when my ex-wifes birthday is, then specifics about dates and times to do with when and where we met, when and where we were married, when we separated, when I moved out, when we divorced, etc, etc. He mentioned that he needed to see my previous years tax returns (which I didn't have because I filed them separately from my wife because we had been separated 6 months by this point). He said if he needed to see them to make a decision on my case, he would send an RFE out. He then explained to me that in 4-6 weeks I would receive a judgement in the mail. If I was approved, I would receive my permanent green card approx 2 weeks later or if it was denied, there would be a reason stating why and details of how I could appeal that decision. The interview lasted about 30 mins.

Need help with Separation and removal of conditions

Thanks again.

My wife filed for divorce today, Oct 20th 2010, and she gave me the paper, we'll be divorced in 90 days. So will I be able to apply alone as divorced before my card expires within 3 months (which is next month.)? or do I have to wait until the 90 days is over and that the divorce is final? If I do wait 90 days, I'll have only about a month before my card expires.

Thanks for your help and support. Thanks everybody.

First you need to start your divorce process. You have 90 days to file for ROC before the 2 year expiry date and you MUST file by then. You will file as divorced although the divorce isn't final and you'll get the RFE for the divorce certificate. You will have a certain amount of time (don't know how long) to submit the divorce decree so it's something you REALLY need to get started.

As for how to file for the waiver, I don't know. Try reading the guides and the forms, usually the answer is there.

Amine. Thanks a lot.

File for divorce as soon as possible.Allah y3awn

Need help with Separation and removal of conditions

You are only allowed to file together if you are happily married, living together. Hence, you need to file with a waiver. You will have to show that you ENTERED the marriage in good faith and that you DID share house, bed, and finances together before you separated.

You can send your I-751 not earlier than 90 days before your Green Card expires. Since you need to be DIVORCED before the I-751 can be adjudicated, you'll have to get that show on the road. USCIS does not recognize separated as a state of a relationship. Married and living together, or divorced and living apart.

Thanks for your reply. Yes we got married in good faith, and we shared everything together, since I moved to US in June 11,2008 till Jan 2nd, 2010. And I have enough evidence to prove that. The only thing that I still need to know is how to apply. Would you please, explain more what you mean with "I need file with a waiver" How?

Thanks again.

Need help with Separation and removal of conditions

My wife and I are separated for about 10 months now, and not divorced. I entered US with a K1 visa, then we got married. I got my green card in 02/23/2009. So in a about a month I will need to apply for removal and I have some questions that I need help with.

1 - Do I have to apply separate or file together?

2 - What's difference between them?

3 - If we apply together, how can I mention that we are separated for 10 months?

4 - If I apply separate, which option to select on the form I-751, since we are just separated, and not divorced. The only option that is close to my case is the second one. "I entered into the marriage in good faith, but the marriage was terminated through divorce or annulment."

Thanks for your help !!!

Most of the questions were very simple. The pre-screener questions, when and where we meet, how long our relationship been going on. The consular questions do i have a house here, what nature of work and the name of the company where i work for. Dont forget lots of passport size pictures.

The pre-screener asked me what day I got there but I was so nervous I couldn't remember the date!

It seems that they will sometimes ask questions that have already been answered on your forms. I think this is the old detective trick of asking questions to see if your answers agree with information you may have given before.

Can i join my fiancee in the pre-screener stage?
The question they asked you "when you got there" what do you mean? The 1st time you visit or when you got there at that time for the interview?
