its finaly over!!! i had an interview today and it was approved. if you guys remember, i was the one who's asking help here because i don't have to much documents to show the immigration. to refresh your memories i was the one who has a husband that is in to gambling and we are living in his family's garage because we couldn't afford to rent a house. also left me for another woman. we got divorced less than 2 years of our marriage.

i'm soooooooooo happy!!!! i can finally quit smoking. the officer approved my waiver in less than a minute w/ no question asked. i guess he read my 10 pages story that i sent them. the officer is very very nice. i think he's one of the nicest guy i've ever met. he even told me to get some rest because he knew that i wasn't able to sleep last night. i'm so glad its finally over!

thank you everyone for all your help. especially sappy and SAMMY! thank you...
goodluck everyone!!!

always remember prayers work...

hi there barbie, yes, i have a lawyer and i am working right now. i was very lucky to have a very nice and cool officer. my advice is to pray hard like i did. prayers work.

you'll be okay barbie, just as long as you can prove your marriage is real.

Hi Katherine 9 how are you? I read where you claimed that you didn't have much proof of your relationship when you filed for a waiver to remove the conditions on your residency,well I am in the same shoe too..I really don't have much proof and am due to file for a waiver as I am divorced from my wife...could you explain to me what evidence you had at the time or what evidence was lacking? I would really like to know every thing..what information you had supplied the immigration people,etc at the time of your waiver interview..please let me know this OK...stretchup,Bye!

Hello Katherine_9 Congratulations to you.
I am very happy for you. I am going through similar pain what you had gone through. I am having very though time in finding a very good lawyer. I am sure your letter had made this difference. I wish I had written something to INS.

Below is brief over view of my situation
I got married to an USA citizen, in my home country in Nov 2000. I arrived in the USA on immigration visa with conditional Green Card in 2002. I after I came in to US we had some problems and we got separated in Aug 2002.
We got our Divorce in Nov 2004. In Jun 2005 he had passed away. Our marriage was genuine. I have few documents to be evidence for that.

My I 751 have been recently rejected. Now I have to appear in front of the judge for master hearing. I would really appreciate if you could help me and recommend me the lawyer who has helped you.
This is my first time on this website. I am all alone in this country.
My spouse (X husband) has passed away after we got our divorce. I don’t have any one who can come and tell the INS officer the truth.
Onew ,ore question Where are you in US?Please let me know if you need my e-mail id I could send it to you.
Thank you very much in advance

Hi Jay1113,

I know Katherine_9, we used to email back and forth but I have not heard from her for months so, I guess she is busy.

Anyway, why your I-751 was rejected? Did they give you the reason why?

What did you send to them? Perhaps you did not provide enough evidence?

I have surfed around alot on this matter and maybe I have some useful info that I could give you.

Good luck!

Hello Leyna
Yes I do have some evidence. In this 4 years, most of the time, I was not in the US. We stayed together almost 4 months in the US. so I have bank statements. I have marriage pics & Dvd. e-mails, letter. Death certi of the spouse, the docs which spouse had sent to INS, including support letter, divorce papers, some affidavits of the spouse’s relatives stating something like the marriage was genuine. All these docs I had sent it to INS.
The letter interpreted the conversation b/w me and the INS officer. Thank you very much for your trying to help me

Hi Jay1113,

The list of documents you gave sounds good evidences, but the main thing is why they denied you and did they give you the reason why?

If she tells you the reason why it was denied,you'll get to realize and understand,its was denied with a good reason.
She said in another topic that they not only lived seperatly,but lived in different countries as a married couple...

to me thats the reason...and she was asked couple times,why she was denied by other members,she won;t answer it.What the INS letter exactly said

Being out of the country for that length of time alone can complicate matters. Did the OP make sure he preserved his PR?
Is the deceased petitioner's estate able to honour the Affidavit of Support? If not a substitue sponsor might be needed until the alien has acquired 40 quarters of eligible contributions to SSA.

Coz this is how the procedure of INS is. That if US citizen gets marred to some one from out of the country, in order to come to US they have to go through this kind of procedure and it takes almost 2 years. I have been answering almost all the questions any one had. Coz I really need help. I was not aware if I have missed out or not given any ans. The reason is not sufficient proofs. Another reason was - Instance of the Marriage to come to US.

Hi Guys, Sorry for not responding to your questions sooner. Got really busy on my new business. Hello Leyna, how are you? How's your case? Hope your okay.. I'll email you...

To answer your question Patrick, Here are the
documents that i sent to the INS:

1. 1 Joint Credit card ( w/ only 4 months statement. hardly used)
2. 1 Joint Accout ( w/ only 4 months statement. hardly used. no money Frown hihi Smile
3. 4 affidavit of support from our friends (2 from his bestfriends, 1 manager, we worked together, 1 from my bestfriend)
4. 10 pictures w/ my husband, no marriage pictures. ( I have over 100 pictures with my husband but my lawyer only took 10)
5. Car insurance (only one page)
6. 10 pages of my own letter about my relationship with my husband.
7. marriage and divorce contract.

That's all I sent to the INS. I only have few documents but my lawyer was very organized. He helped me out a lot. Make sure you get a lawyer and take them with you in your interview.

Jay, I'm from California. Send me an email so I can refer my lawyer to you..

Goodluck...
