Complicated Situation

[Kavari]

Hello People,

I'm about to be in a very complicated situation and I could really use some guidance, so all and any help is warmly welcomed.

I entered the USA in January 2010 using the VWP, to visit my current wife which wasn't the intention to begin with, I was just excited to visit America! The friendship clearly led to something more, by April 2010 we got married and filed my EAD, I-130, and my I-485 everything from this point had been smooth. We had our very first interview that same year the immigration officer spoke to us and everything in his eyes was fine, but he wanted more proof of the marriage for my records so we said we'd be able to provide that proof without any issues. The officer told us to wait for a letter asking this information and proceed accordingly, so we did.

This is where my journey starts going down the pan, the letter never got to us it was returned back to the immigration office which they still have now, in result to this my I-130 was denied. On On May 7, 2012 they received my I-290b which is to appeal the unfair denial of my I-130. And from this date I've been waiting with no updates, nothing....

I have been married now since April 2010 and now my marriage has taken a huge strain and is now came to and end, but divorce proceedings have not taken place as of yet.

Is there anything I can do so I don't have to leave my current life in the US or do I need to remove myself from the country as soon as the divorce is final?

Thank you for everyone who can help me in advance, I appreciate all the help I can get.

Did you ever find out why the "new evidence" request letter didn't reach you?

Does the denial letter specify that a resubmittal will be allowed?

Will your wife support a resubmittal of the needed petitions?

Hello Rayb

Yes, the letter to provide more evidence of the marriage was signed delivery, I never received the letter from USPS informing me it was there, I should also touch on the fact the process wasn't technically denied it was more closed and the appeal is to reopen.

As for her supporting any papers that need to be submitted is becoming very unlikely, she's becoming more spiteful as the days go on.

Still waiting for my green card.

Greetings,
I have been in the United States for over four weeks now and I am yet to be mailed my green card.
Please, what should I do?
Thank you.

Did you pay the $165 Green Card issuance fee online? Even after paying that fee, it takes up to 6 weeks for the card to show up.

Yes I paid before I made my trip.

While I am waiting for the green card can I go ahead and start processing my social security number card?
Thank you.

Recent reports have been that the Green Card shows up in about 6 weeks after arrival (after fee was paid). For some, it has taken as long as 3 months.

The I-551 stamp in your passport provides proof of your Permanent Resident status for up to a year, pending receipt of your Green Card.

Hello RayB

In reference to the previous questions I asked about my permanent residence status in the United States, is there any other details I need to know with regards to settling down?
Thank you.

[rayb]

Your SSN card should arrive in the mail after about 30 days from your arrival. If it doesn't show by 45 days, go to an SSA office and have them check status or reapply.

Thank you.

I'm sincerely happy you got the answers you were looking for, but I'd appreciate it if you would respect other people and their issues and not post your questions on someone's post.

Bump.
