Here is my story in a nutshell, hope to get some help please!
Sep 2002 - entered the US on a J1 exchange visitor visa
Feb 2004 – married USC and moved together
Apr 2004 – filed for AOS
Jan 2005 – my wife (USC) after loosing her job and having couple arguments with me she moved back to west to her state where her family and friends live and had a job waiting for her, while I remained here in Ohio. (The reason I didn’t follow her was that I had big chances to get a job promotion, which I eventually got it and we also had a couple ). I didn’t see her again till she came for the AOS interview, being both very busy, me working two jobs almost fulltime at that time; however we called each other daily, were using joint bank accounts, had same insurances, apartment lease, cell phone bills….
Feb 2005 – AOS interview: took about 25 minutes, we were questioned separately and were told an answer will be given in two weeks.
May 2005- I-130 denied, stating that we failed to proof we intended to have a shared, marital life together and the marriage was not bona fide for immigration purposes.
Then she filed the petition to reopen the case and we decided to move together again. Ever since we haven’t heard from BCIS.. In the meantime I moved to her place, but we didn’t go along well and left her. Finally we agreed we could not work our relationship out and signed the papers for the divorce.
Sept 2005 – divorce finalized and was ready to leave the US when I met her, my current girlfriend and fell in love with her. She would like me to stay with here, probably get married one day.
I’m currently out of status, my work auth. has expired, the only thing that holds me back is my girlfriend. She is a US citizen born here. She does not speak my native language and would be impossible for her to move to my country.
I would like to know if there is any chance at all, in case we get married here, to stay in the country legally. If yes, what would be the steps to do??
Any advice would be appreciated! THANK YOU!
