Hello,
I originally moved to the US in July 2009 on a K-1 fiancee visa. My husband and I married in October 2009, applied for AOS a few days after, and received my conditional green card February 2010.
Filed my joint (married) i-751 January 2012, received a letter allowing me to stay for another year in February 2012. By April 2012, my marriage had broken down (my husband had extreme depression issues, and I couldn't handle it and in all fairness, started talking to somebody else), and on May 31 2012, my husband took his own life while I was out of town looking for somewhere else to live.
In December 2012, I received RFE, which I somehow mysteriously lost the day before I sent as much evidence back as I could in January 2013. In my original paperwork, I had the only joint tax return we had available, a current lease, a month's bank statement. With the RFE, I added over a year of bank statements, the newest tax return I had available at the time (2011), affidavits from friends of both of us during the marriage, whom he had known before I came along (who I am still friends with, despite them knowing what happened during the end of my marriage), the email confirmation of our honeymoon in 2010.
My GC extension expired February 2012 as far as I know, and I have heard nothing more since then except a request for an interview, which is tomorrow. The letter for the interview says to bring the letter (which I have been zealously guarding since it arrived to avoid THAT happening again) and my evidence of the marriage. Due to my poor credit rating, our bills were in his name, but we had a joint checking/savings account until April 2012, I have his death certificate, one of the affidavits (the other person who wrote one for me does not have a copy and I am trying to find if I have it still in my apartment), the year of bank statements, the last three joint tax returns, photos, that same email.
Is there anything more you can suggest for me to try to collect by tomorrow? I have years of emails saved of my own, but my husband always deleted his and never saved anything. I have my wedding rings still, which I will be wearing tomorrow, and I can be fairly certain I will end up crying when they ask me about him (yes, I still care, and it still hurts to think about). Any general advice? We really did try in our marriage, it just broke down over time as so many do now. I've been here for just under three years, and I'm scared - I have friends, I have a good job, and I don't want to end up being kicked home with no job and nothing to show for my time here.
